Thanks W.T.

As regards Impuls I consider it case closed. I should not have started it to begin with, my mistake.

Steve,

I beg to differ here as to the original version of Roller Coaster but as you will no doubt agree with me it is all a matter of taste. Incidentally the link to the original by Danny Vera was a studio live session.There is also the official recording :

As regards the artist himself he has done some great stuff overhere in Holland over the last 10 years. He has his own band and a very good one imho and is extremely versatile in his repertoire ranging from a wide gamut of covers to many of his own.
here are a few links which might be interesting to some of you.

Bear in mind all the time that you are not watching an Okie from Muskogee but a Dutchman borne and bred !!!!

John

P.S. apologies for diverting from my own subject but then I guess he deserves it......
