Amsterdam, November 4. In the queue of people waiting in front of the doors of AFAS. Where Zemfira will soon be performing. Left, right, front and back: Russian everywhere. My company almost feels at home.

All bass guitarists (and many others) will or should know Davie504. In 2019, after initially being denied a visa, he went to Russia to play ‘Rasputin’. Yes, from our very own Boney M, from the time when TopPop still existed.

Song lyrics are compact, memorable, and accessible at all levels. They make studying fun and effective at the same time.
