In the Netherlands the Demo's were not only
played in Musicfairs but in many more fairs.
In Furniturefairs and in Home and Garden-
fairs and what so ever. The first time I saw and heared Peter Baartmans was on a small shopkeepers(of all kinds)fair. On this kind of fairs many people got interes-
ted in arrangerkeyboards and E-organs.
Those shopkeepers worked very hard and the
demomusicians were very good and knew every
level ot there instrument.They did this many years and it worked and now there are
many keybaordplayers in our country.
Another point could be that these demo's are and were instrumental. The demoplayers
do not sing . Only when they explain the
vocoder they sing.
Later the shopkeepers introduced the demo-
playing in there shops in the same way.
There is nothing wrong with a singing en-
tertainer but at a demo the only thing that really matters is the instrumental quali-
ties and as just one of the items the vo-
coder.
A demoplayer should know all the levels of
his (her) instrument.
