Traditional party music and schlagers

This song, written in 1981, became a big hit in his home region. The record with this song sold several ten thousand times.

After the success of Zoë is ut laeve, this song became the successor for the two singers. In this particular song their beautiful two-part harmony comes to the fore beautifully.

The song written in 1984 was the last one that JGJ wrote in the genre and was released on record. The song sings about the Maasboulevard in Venlo, planned in the 80s, but which was not built until more than 20 years later.

Initially, JGJ was only asked to write out a song from Gé van Beek that he had sung on cassette-tape .

Because the song's lyrics radiated so much joy, while this was not reflected in the original melody, JGJ changed the melody to better suit the lyrics. Many people greatly appreciated this.

This song was intended for the so-called Farmer's Wedding, a festival where the entire city of Venlo dresses up in historical farmer's clothing.

The song is therefore interspersed with all kinds of vegetables and the like, which hang from the unfolded umbrellas (pluuj's) that female characters carry with them.

This song for the Blerick carnival is about the problem of enjoying those three days as much and for as long as possible. because it would be a shame if you wasted most of your time sleeping.

That's why the singer tries to keep her eyes open as long as possible, even if only in her dreams.

This is the first song by JGJ in this genre and dates from 1980. It is the only recording of this song, made when it was performed live for the very first time.
