Children
'We celebrate it quite sober this year, the children come one by one for coffee,' Leen Huijzer tells the ANP. 'But I can't complain, the first flowers have already arrived on Monday. They have not forgotten me, ”he jokes.
Highlight
When Huijzer looks back on his career, he is more than satisfied. 'That is one big highlight, I am very privileged,' said the Rotterdammer, who broke through in 1975 when he was presented by Willem Duys as the singing crane operator.
The Sinatra of the Netherlands
'That is a big misunderstanding, by the way, I was a mechanic at the time. But I happened to be on a crane that day. ' For Towers it was not obvious that at the age of 75 he would look back on a successful career as 'the Sinatra of the Netherlands'.
Underprivileged family
'I come from an underprivileged family with nothing to make money. My mother would have said about something like show business: that is not for us kind of people. '
To dream
But in the meantime he has turned that proverb according to his own motto: 'always believe in your dreams. I wanted to do things that everyone thought I had gone insane, I think it worked out a bit. ' Indeed, an icon of Dutch music.
In this edition of Happy Hour we naturally pay attention to this Dutch singer. The item Jukebox Giants is especially for Lee Towers -> “The Devil went down to Georgia” 
We are also going to call some people who have (had) their birthday and oh yes, Lourens Portasse is going to delight us with his political commentary.
Erik's Tip is:
Have fun listening!
