Dear MMD,  A good opportunity to visit Amsterdam is from Wednesday
June 28 till Saturday July 1, in the old city centre.  It is called
"Amsterdam, Capital of Inspiration".

Thirteen street organs will play in the inner city, on bridges over
the famous canals -- an ideal position for making wonderful pictures!
Seven more will join on Saturday.  Playing times: 12.30 - 17.00 h from
Wednesday till Friday.  On Saturday the organs will play from 10.30
till 15.00.  After that, an old-fashioned "draaiorgelconcours" (street
organ playing contest) will be held on the Nieuwmarkt till 19.00.
Information: R. Brienen, telephone +31 72 562 5376.

Welcome to Amsterdam!

Hans van Oost
