First and foremost thanks to all of you who have responded here and for your compliments on this first but not last ( I hope) musical project across the ocean. On a personal note I would like to add that the music (Donny) was well played and recorded ( though the choice of style is debatable, no accouning for tastes), the singing by yours truly acceptable ( though the vocal range was slightly a bit too much for me I think) but the winner no doubt is.............."The Wizard of Ulft ", that is my friend Carlo, in the way he re-mastered the whole project and with the innimatable video added to it.

As to Ian's query:

The name Holland has been used alongside and often in favour of The Netherlands, in particular in Anglo speaking countries.
Over the last couple of years the Dutch government has promoted the use of The Netherlands, which is correct.
The Netherlands has 12 provinces , two of those are Noord-Holland ( Amsterdam) and Zuid-Holland ( Rotterdam, the Hague) and as these two provinces throughout history have been the largest both in population and economy, it can easily be understood why the name Holland took the place of The Netherlands....

John
