Note: The second radio session in 8 years from ‘Grote Prijs’-winner Eefje de Visser, the day before she released both her debut-CD ‘De Koek’ and her band to the world. This session was also filmed for local TV with two camera’s and aired Jan 23rd – 29th 2011. Supported by ‘Most Unpleasant Men’-members Jelte Heeringa (glockenspiel, harmonium, vocals, percussion) and Joni Scholten (bas, vocals), she played a relaxed, joyfull session. ‘Afdwaalt’ (Wandering off), was recorded as a balance and configuration-check first, after which it took one take only, to get it done. ‘Genoeg’ (Enough) was taped in a single session too. After rehearsing chorusses, laughter crept in, so the first two takes of ‘Trein’ (Train) crashed due to that. The third take was stopped to adjust guitar levels, after which take 4 went okay. ‘ik Dacht Na’ ( I Was Wondering) crashed at it’s first go, while the second one was finished but abandonned, as Eefje forgot some words at a crucial point. Before the third take, I put a second mike to the harmonium, making it a stereo signal. After adjusting the mix, the third take run out, but unsatisfactoring as well, so the 4th and final take followed.
After the session was a wrap, I interviewed her for my show, with camera’s rolling simultaneously. After ending the talk at 27,5 minutes, one of the cameramen sighed “We don’t have that long on TV, you realise that”. Final take was an opening shot of me glancing in the camera and asking a first, starting question to Eefje for TV-purposes.
