What a Beautiful Noise | Chessalee
Weekend Chess »
18/04/2008 by Nikita I’ve blogged before…ages ago…about Steve Hofmeyr…but now I have one of my favourite videos for you to watch… Beautiful Noise. I do enjoy Neil Diamond’s music and have a few ND CD’s. This song by Steve…was sung during his tour in the USA…in 2007. On this video the word “Afrikaans” is mispronounced and you can see Steve’s reaction…(apart from the other “word” that was used…) Well, no one expect you…if you’re English…or from any other country…to pronounce the word “Afrikaans” correctly…if you do want to know how to pronounce it correctly…it’s easy…just say…Imran Khan…and then you can say..”Afrikhans”…lol! easy as like when you eat a pancake…that’s what I always tell children…hehehe…if you are a South African…you do know too that all is not well with Steve’s marriage…which is very sad for us all ..click on THIS LINK where you can read about him and his South African actress-wife…Natasha Sutherland’s marriage. I prefer to stick to his music and not to read about him and Natasha..in fact…I haven’t read any news articles about them..not even this one! The reason why South Africans are so upset about him, is the fact that he is such a fantastic person, he’s got a great personality…he’s a fighter for Afrikaans…and he’s got my support 100% behind him. He’s a fighter for crime…again he’s got my support… he’s a poet/writer and I love poems…and he’s also an actor! I saw him performed in London in the Palladium and his show was just fantastic. Dana Winner is a Belgian artist who performed in South Africa with him .. the Flemish Language is almost like Afrikaans! On one CD she sings Flemish and you wouldn’t notice the difference between the two languages. These albums of Steve are the albums I’ve got…the third album is a Christmas album where Dana sings “Silent Night” in Flemish. Many of Steve’s songs are in English too…
Dana Winner Dana Winner….Stille Nag-Afrikaans/Flemish–…(Silent Night)
In this video… you see Steve singing Neil Diamond’s song.
This next video is a song by Dana Winner… “Ik hou van jou”…in Afrikaans translated…”Ek hou van jou”. Image: on THIS LINK where you can read about her tour in South Africa during March 2008.

Nikita, dankie vir die Steve video, ek is ook mal oor Steve se stem en hy skryf baie mooi liedjies!! Hy is ‘n mens, met ‘n groot hart. Ek kies nooit kant nie, laat ook nie toe dat mense my dwing om kant te kies nie. Ek het besluit Steve mag maar vir my sing, en sing sal hy hier in my huisie sing tot ek onder die lang bome lê.

Hi Wipneus! Dankie vir jou besoek! en welkom hier…ja, ek voel presies dieselfde … bly om te hoor nog iemand voel so. Ek voel hy doen baie vir Afrikaans in Suid-Afrika en ek bewonder hom daarvoor. Ek sal enige tyd weer na enige van sy optredes gaan. Wie is ons in elk geval om te oordeel? Vir my gaan dit om die musiek en die mens wat hy is soos ek hom leer ken het. Sy musiek is op my MP3 en ek sal nog jare daarna luister. 🙂

Hi Kop…het jy al ‘n optrede van haar in SA gesien? Ek dink natuurlik ook sy sing baie mooi…

Hi Jo Hannah
Welkom op my blog en sy musiek sal altyd pragtig wees. Ek hoop enige leser hier sal kan help! Ek hoop ek jy kry intussen dit – dalk deur ‘n search op die Internet. Ongelukkig gaan ek nie daardie tyd hê om te help search nie. Jammer!
