Veerpont - Drs. P.

Since this blog is written with an international audience in mind, I deliberated some time with myself whether I should publish this single. But in the end I decided that since I am publishing my entire singles collection, I couldn't simply omit this one.

'Veerpont' ('Ferry') is essentially the monologue of a ferryman, explaining his life going back and forth all the time. He explains that someone once explained to him that if the ferry were long enough to span the river, it could be turned into a bridge, but that would render other boats on the river useless. Well it sounds a bit boring but of course the joke is in the phrasing and the brilliant mind behind Drs. P.'s writing. So here it is, for the Dutch listeners - and the foreigners too.

My collection: 7" single no. 1776
Found: Record fair, October 25, 1992
Cost: 5 guilders
Tracks: 'Veerpont' / 'Los Pompadoros'
