Gurbe Douwstra & Jan de Vries - Ald and (heal)wiis?

But is that really the case, do you really become that much wiser as you get older or do you often make the same mistakes anyway? Besides, another saying goes: 'the older the crazier'.
See there the basis for singer/songwriter Gurbe Douwstra's new theater-song program, in 'Wâldpyk fol emoasje'. With the title "Âld and (heal)wiis?". Being in his seventies himself, he falls into the category of 'old', although he still feels himself young at heart. And 'wise' ...? Well, what can one say about that? But he certainly still has some 'healwiis' now and then.
It is the inspiration for a program with new songs, stories, juicy anecdotes but of course also familiar repertoire, the 'hits' from his long career. A program he performs in an intimate setting, together with friend and multi-instrumentalist Jan de Vries.

It ferstân komt mei de jierren, alteast dat wurdt der sein. So soenen wy it ek net dreech fine moatte om âld te wurden. Because the older the wiser dochs? But is that true, do you get safolste wizer when you get older or do you meitsje dochs meast wer the same flaters? Boppedat, in oare siswize seit: 'the older the crazier'.
Sjoch dêr de basis foar it nije teater-lietsjesprogramma fan sjonger en lietskriuwer Gurbe Douwstra, in 'Wâldpyk fol emoasje'. Mei de titel "Ald en (heal)wiis? As sântiger falt hy yn de kategory 'âld' al fielt hy himsels noch jong fan hert en holle. And 'wiis ...?' Tsja, what to say about that? Mar út en troch yn alle gefallen noch wol wat 'healwiis'.
It hat de ynspiraasje west foar in programma mei nije lietsjes, ferhalen, smeudige anekdoates mar ek mei bekend repertoire, de 'hits' út syn lange karrière. A program that hy yn in smûke setting bringe sil, tegearre mei freon en multi-ynstrumentalist Jan de Vries.
