Herman de Vries on the record: At the summer party on the occasion of my soon-to-be 80th birthday, many friends came. As it said on the invitation: the Eschenau Chaos Band will play. while the party was going on, people asked me when that band would be playing, and I replied: Now! You are that band, and I randomly handed out all of these instruments. Hartmut Geerken was clued in and had brought some as well -- Sun Ras sun harp among others. I started with a Moroccan hand drum, bendir, and off it went. unpracticed."
