Ten Ride Ticket

By 1971, Ton and Pim had formed a new band. They had two names: "Alta Quies", and "Ten Ride Ticket". Under that last name, they recorded some demos. Besides Ton (keyboards, bass, vocals) and Pim (drums, vocals), members were Carwin Gijsing (trombone, piano, vocals) and Johan Slager (guitars, vocals). Of course, Johan, Pim and Ton went on to form Kayak in 1972...

The titles of the demo recordings:

1. Lost In Hell (Koopman)
2. Questions Of A Thousand Dreams (Scherpenzeel)
3. Scadia (Koopman)
4. Gentle Season (Gijsing)
5. Green-Eyed Morning (Koopman/Scherpenzeel)
6. Catch Your Dreams (Koopman/Scherpenzeel)
7. Children Unite (Scherpenzeel)
8. It's Your Problem (Koopman)
9. Still Try To Write A Book (Koopman)
10. ... (incl. bits of "Peter And The Wolf") (Prokofiev/Koopman/Scherpenzeel)


35 years later, Johan and Carwin still work together for Dutch choir "Da Capo"...
