‘Entartete Art’ 1935 – Coleman Hawkins & Leo de la Fuente in Holland
American saxophonist Coleman Hawkins announces and plays – accompanied by Leo de la Fuente on piano – on his tenor saxophone ‘I wished that I were twins’.
In 1934, Coleman Hawkins left the Fletcher Henderson Orchestra and Amerika, moved to Europe, and joined the Jack Hylton Orchestra in England. Hylton and his band made regular ‘continental’ tours, and started another European tour January 1935 accompanied by Coleman Hawkins in Holland. At the end of January 1935 Hawkins joins the dutch band The Rambers … for 8 days … because Hawkins was denied entry to Germany because of his race, while Hylton and his band continued their tour without him and play for eight days at the Berlin Philharmonic Hall.
To end this special week with Hawkins well, the bandleader of The Ramblers – Theo Uden Masman – arranged with Decca for recordings 4 february 1935 in Pulchri Studio in The Hague, Holland, including this : I wish I were twins…that was also recorded on film by Polygoon (Polygoontoon) for the dutch cinema news for next week .
Coleman Hawkins is accomponied here on film by the dutch jazz pioneer Leo de la Fuente on piano , playing ‘I wished that I were twins’ . After the recordings, Hawkins moves further into Europe.
Leo – Leonard Henriques – de la Fuente, who was born Jewish in Amsterdam 28 March 1902, was deported by the nazi’s to Auschwitz on 2 November 1942, and died 30 April 1944 ‘somewhere in Mid Europe’.

French Refugees October 1918 in Holland | 20231031
Silent film — Towards the end of World War I – in the summer 1918 , after the Allies defeated the Germans in the Second Battle of the Marne – large groups of Belgians and French refugees flee in front of the retreating enemy force to the neutral Netherlands.
The Dutch army and Red Cross prepared to receive a possible 100,000 evacuees in the border towns in the south of the Netherlands.
After wandering weeks in the north of France , and next crossing Belgium on foot, the first group of French refugees arrived at the Dutch border October 20, completely exhausted.
At the gate in the electric wire fence at the border to the Netherlands – the so-called ‘Death Wire’ (dutch : Dodendraad ) Dutch soldiers took them over from German escorts.
Some refugees had travelled by tram part of the route crossing Belgium to the belgian border town Molenbeersel.
At the dutch border the refugees were welcomed and ladies from relief committees provide the refugees with food and drinks on the road to Stramproy in the Netherlands.
Within days , thousands of French refugees arrive in the village of Stramproy and are transferred to the city of Weert .
On arrival in the city center of Weert the dutch army registered people and handed out soup and bread.
The weak, the sick, and maternity women were cared for by the Red Cross and taken to an aid post for further care.
The refugees were sheltered the night in buildings like convents and schools in Weert, before being housed elsewhere in the country the following days.

🐙 Cracked Camera ❗️| Octopus #04 | 20231004
🐙 Cracked Camera ❗️| Octopus #04 | 20231004 | 1-memo•com | Octopus pulls the around 2 pounds (1 kg) camera equipment into its hole — a Insta360 Go 2 camera on a 120 cm (4 feet) monopod with Bushman counterweight and tripod .. all laying flat on the bottom … I had the camera set to film an 1 minute clip. So the camera finally being pulled entirely inside its hole , covered by the octopus, wasn’t captured on film. I grabbed all back … with force. Later that day more films were made that day with no problem – the camera appeared to be not damaged. The next day, however, the camera was malfunctioning , overheating … clearly broken adter all by that octopus … in the Mediterranean Sea at Corfu, Greece, Sep 2023.

Berceuse | Yves Darriet | Susanne Marie Wrage | Radio SRF 2 Kultur | 20230911
Lullaby by Yves Darriet
(Translation. Miracles•Media)
From the old forest
They dragged the night,
And the wind danced in your hair.Your fingers die in the evening,
Already in your sky
the stars wander.From “Far-away-from-love”
they dragged the night.My shadow dances in your dream.
Yves Darriet (Pseudonym Jean Roland)
Berceuse by Yves Darriet , from Anthologie des poèmes de Buchenwald , collected by André Verdet in Buchenwald (Ref 1), in a 2013 German translation by Wulf Kirsten and Annette Seemann : Wiegenlied (Ref 2).
Wiegenlied – Reading by Susanne Marie Wrage — an actor with a background in Documentary theater – in the June 2013 Passage – Lyrik aktuell broadcast by Radio SRF 2 Kultur (Ref 3, 4) .
Berceuse
De la vieille forêt
Ils ont portè la nuit,
Et le vent a dansé dans tes cheveux.Tes doigts meurent au soir,
Dans ton ciel déjà
Les ètoiles cheminent.De plus loin que l’amour
Ils ont porté la nuit.Mon ombre danse dans ton rêve.
Wiegenlied
Aus dem alten Wald
Schleppten sie die Nacht her,
Und der Wind tanzte in deinem Haar.Deine Finger sterben am Abend,
Schon in deinem Himmel
Wandern die Sterne.Von «Weit-weg-von-der-Liebe»
Schleppten sie die Nacht her.Mein Schatten tanzt in deinem Traum.
