Berend Boudewijn was a guest at the table of Matthijs van Nieuwkerk last night. The 85-year-old director was there to talk about Martine Bijl, who passed away in 2018. Boudewijn has published a book with stories from the TV celebrity. What followed was a loving conversation about Bijl and about the loss now that she is no longer there.
At the end of the interview, Van Nieuwkerk had another surprise. Although André van Duin could not be present in the studio due to recordings of All of Holland Bakt, he had the song especially for Boudewijn in the studio a day earlier Vincent sung. Not Don McLean’s version, but Bijl’s Dutch adaptation. Boudewijn was very pleased when he heard this and revealed that his wife had also been very happy that Van Duin All of Holland Bakt had taken over when she had to give up.
Worn, Van Duin performs the song and that causes many viewers to be moved. ‘The circle is complete,’ concludes a tweeter. Another says: ‘Just whine.’ Someone else emphasizes how special the artist André van Duin is. “We only have one of those.”
