The
evening after the 'Battle' there was a splendid Big Band, playing Glenn
Millers music and others ! |

It
was all in 40's style, the music, uniforms, the dancing, quite a party
!! |
|

Mills Brothers... |
|
W |
|
Billy
Holiday... Lonely Sweetheart... Paper Doll... Bei mir bist du schon...
Moonlight Serenade... |
|
|
|
Vera
Lynn... Judy Garland... Frank Sinatra... and ofcourse cosy conversations |
|
Re-enactors,
Veterans, Invited VIP's, they all enjoyed a marvellous evening !! |
|
Think
of Nat King Cole: Unforgettable... that's what the ladies are here, don't
you agree ? |
|
|
|
Come
to think of it, the music of this time will always have the qualification
'Evergreens' because of the war |
|
|
|
After
an easy listening 'shuffle'dance, a nice cold 'Heineken Beer' tasts
wonderful ! |
|
See
the beautiful lady dance !!! .... |
|
...
and the Band played the Boogie !! |
|
|
|
Even
as a reporter it was an honour to be part of this, enjoying such an
evening and this music... |
|
After
Louis Armstrong's 'When the Saints go marching in'... |
|
...
and another bottle of tasty beer (this man was the star of the day :-)) |
|
Others
prefered to have a conversation about the day, the battle, and each other... |
|
|
|
...
even for the Americans this must have been an unforgettable experience... |
|
|
|
...
and then finally time comes to unlace your shoelaces, and seek your
tent... |
|
|
|
...
or enjoy still the quitness of the night into the very late hours... |
|
...
and how lucky all were to have such a gordious weather these special days
! |
|
|
|
...
and then finally time comes to unlace your shoelaces, and seek your
tent... |
