I was a member of het Haagste Knapen Koor met dirigent Borstlap and had singing practice every saturday at a school in southern DenHaag. I remember that the first Toon Hermans performances were held in a theatre just around the corner. Regrettably, as a thirteen year old, I never had the means to buy a ticket, nor were his performances quite suitable although my parents rolled around with laughter when he was on TV. Memories of more than 65 years ago
