17. KOOS KOMBUIS, JOHNNY IS NIE DOOD NIE (Johnny isnt dead) (318)
Andre Le Toit/Kombuis, (Kombuis/3rd Ear Music), Desk Mix, DM, 1993, DAT.
From Stellenbosch in the Cape, popular Afrikaans Author (of over 20 books) Koos decided that the stilted life of the author was not for him. He became a musical boomelaar & hit the road, often appearing in concert with friends Warwick Sony & the late James Phillips. He is well known in the Flemish countries & opened, in Afrikaans to a standing ovation, for Suzanne Vega at a Festival in Belgium. Heres a song about a friend of his caught up in the JHB/Yeoville drug scene. Johnny isnt dead - he has just passed out. |
