I just loved it, loved everything about it, loved being in front of people playing music. I started on a $29 guitar and immediately started putting a band together, writing songs and learning all the contemporary folk songs of the time. As a teenager he began performing in front of audiences. While attending Fishburne Military School, he began playing guitar and composing his own songs. At the age of eight, he began singing in church and learning to play piano by ear. At the age of six, he moved with his family to Virginia where he grew up. Jonathan Edwards was born John Evan Edwards on Jin Aitkin, Minnesota. I wish you much pleasure.Jonathan Edwards (born July 28, 1946) is an American singer-songwriter and musician best known for his 1971 hit single ' Sunshine'. They place a sort of humorous perspective around the entire book: all our love dramas are actually episodes in a film in which our ego plays the main role. They are actually not real compositions but rather improvisations, purely for the atmosphere and fun. And at the end of each chapter there is also the same musical conclusion.Įven when making these recordings I have not strived for perfection, you will be able to hear mistakes here and there. Those two now come together in this audio book: I start each chapter with a minute of atmospheric, sometimes melancholy or even dramatic sounds as an introduction to the text. I am also a fan of film music, because it can generate such a strong, sometimes even dramatic atmosphere. I have been making music all my life on an amateur level, first in various bands and later at home for my own pleasure.

I have combined the recording of this audiobook with another hobby of mine, namely making music. That is the advantage when you record your own book: some things I would now explain a little bit different and so I did. And in some places I added some extra text or left something out. And my pronounciation of some English words might be rather 'Dutchy'.

I did not strive for perfection, so you will hear a cough or so here and there during the recording.

During the summer of 2018, I recorded 'Addicted to Love' (Dutch titel: Verslaafd aan liefde) as an audio-book.
