Blog no. 3...
I found the following Dutch Popular songs in my record collection.
The original Dutch names of the songs were translated by members of the international department of RHOTO'S RAG. These same members will gladly sing one--or all--of these songs via a computer connection. However, that can only be done in Dutch.
I have written this introduction in the English language, as I have found very few people on the North American continent who are able to speak & understand proper Dutch. For them I have translated the text, so that they may pick up a bit of "Hollands". As my Italian hairdresser told me, "If it ain't Dutch, it ain't much!!! So, you can put that in your pipe, but don't smoke it. We run a green blog site!!!! So I told him; go tell it on the mountain. BYE BYE

Ik vond de volgende populaire liedjes in mijn gramofoon platen verzameling. De originele Nederlandse titels werden vertaalde door medewerkers van de internationale afdeling van RHOTO'S RAG. Die medewerkers zingen, op verzoek en met plezier, een of alle liedjes via een computer verbinding, echter dat kan alleen maar in de Nederlandse taal.
Ik heb deze inleiding geschreven in de Engelse taal, omdat ik heel weinig mensen heb gevonden in Noord Amerika, die behoorlijk Nederlands spreken. Voor die mensen vertaalde ik de inleiding, zodat ze een beetje Nerderlands kunnen leren. Zoals een Italiaanse vrouwenkapper eens tegen mij zei: Als het geen Hollands is, dan is het niet veel.
Zo, dat kun je in je pijp stoppen,, maar niet roken hoor, wij hebben een "groene" blog. Dit kun je gaan rond vertellen. Kletsen dus, maar het is geen roddelen. HOUDOE
