Johan Slager still rocks!

Every now and then, people ask me if ex-Kayakguitarist Johan Slager is still doing anything in terms of music. The answer is simply: yes. He is a member of a couple of bands, who mainly enjoy themselves and their audiences by playing rock and blues covers. One of those bands is 'Van Dijks Dylan', with singer Michel van Dijk (ex-Alquin, Brainbox, Ekseption, Les Baroques).



Obviously, this band usually plays Bob Dylan songs. But on 11 may 2013, they also included some Stones and Beatles. The reason for that; my Kayak-mate Frank (a big fan of Johan Slager) celebrated his birthday in a hotel/restaurant in the village of Wijk aan Zee. By coincidence (?) Van Dijk's Dylan played there that same evening. Especially for Frank, they included a couple of his favourite songs.

The band -consisting of people with about 1000 years experience in Dutch bands- rocked like crazy, and Johan still knows how to play the guitar!
