A few years ago you told me that you were planning to live in Amsterdam for a while.
Have you any plans in this direction now?
Well, there's talk about doing 200 motels on VPRO television.
And at that time I was thinking about living here for about a month prior to the production of the show.
When will it be?
December, I think.
December, dus waarschijnlijk 200 motels.
Het grote muziekwerk van Frank Sampa hier in Nederland zal waarschijnlijk voor VPRO televisie en radio...
Het is nog niet opgelegd.
Nee, nee, nee. Ik zei het waarschijnlijk.
Hoe was ik ervan te weten?
Er is nog een vraag.
Op de koffer van je eerste album was er een quote van de man die zei...
Ik ga jullie zo groot maken als de taartjes.
Dat is waar.
We denken dat je zo groot bent als de taartjes nu.
We zijn twee mensen van de taartjes in je groep.
Het helpt veel als je zo groot bent als de taartjes om een paar taartjes in je groep te hebben.
Ik ga de mensen zo groot maken als de taartjes, ja.






Alright Frank! Party back, factory back.
Take it away, turtles.
If I Promise You make you as big as a rascals now...
Ya.
That will be, well, I don't know, we'll get Dino Dinelli on drums.
That's big as Mary D Blair.
Kun je de mensen van je groep aanvragen en vertellen wat de laatste groep was die speelde?
Hier zijn ze, de Turtles, dames en heren.
Mark en Howie in de briljant gekleurde uniformen.
Bekijkbaar geconceeerd achter hen, in het midden van de schrubberij en elektronica, is Ian Underwood.
Formerly of the Mothers of Invention.
Ainsley Dunbar, formerly of this blues band they used to have.
Ainsley Dunbar Retaliation, and what was that other one called? The Blue Whale.
Yep, that one too.
And Jeffrey Swovet Simmons on electrical bass, who was formerly employed as the leader of a group from Seattle called the Easy Chair, ladies and gentlemen.
All right, right on!
And over here in the background we have George Duke.
Take it away George, George Duke records for World Pacific and he has his own ensemble known as the George Duke Trio.
And you may be familiar with his work with the Don Ellis Orchestra and also with John Luke Ponty, jazz violinist.
Final question, your friend Captain Beefheart says he comes from Mars, where do you come from?
Well I don't want you to hold it against me, but I come from the United States.
Oh, hello.
All right, now we're going to play a song for you called Wonderful Wino.
And it's dedicated to Mr. Duke on the piano, he's really big on the wine.
Oh yeah, should be.
Hup, hup, hup.
Hup, hup, hup.
Hup.
Hup, hup, hup.
Hup, hup, hup.
Hup, hup, hup.
Hup, hup, hup.
Hup, hup, hup.
Hup, hup, hup.
Hup, hup, hup.
If the monkeys were doing the show, they'd already be tuned up.
Who would care?
Put the music on.
Hup, hup, hup.
Hup, hup, hup.
Hup, hup, hup.
Hup, hup, hup.
Hup, hup, hup.
Oké, dat is goed genoeg.
Tadrinus.
1, 2, 3, 4.
