I get what you're saying about the Rockford Files theme...

...and I do remember it (I'm old enough wink.gif ). I do hear the similarities in the harmonic structures and melody. Pop radio in the '70's was truly diverse to include TV show themes. "Hawaii Five-0" was another big one.

I agree that the Lorrainville live version of "The Blower's Daughter" is excellent. The band's formation is an interesting story. It's very much a "supergroup" of experienced Dutch musicians. For example, the bass player in Lorrainville, Peter Slager, is a founding member of BLØF, a very successful band in the Netherlands that has been around for 30 years (singing their lyrics in Dutch). The music in the Netherlands is often overlooked, sadly. A Dutch fan of the Corrs got me started learning about the music in the Netherlands. The musicians there collaborate a great deal, and this makes it easy to learn of new musicians because invariably one will find a known musician paired with a previously-unknown one.

I thought I would round out my topic on Diederik Nomden with some additional music of his.

From the 2012 album as artist name "Royal Parks," the song "She"


In a similar manner to the way "I Do" reminds you of the "Rockford Files" theme, some of the musical phrases in "She" remind me of a Dan Fogelberg song called "Dancing Shoes" that was on the late Fogelberg's Nether Lands album from 1977 (https://youtu.be/sa51jlYbbJo).

Blackbird (covering Paul McCartney with The Analogues)


A live version of a waltz from his Parallel Universe album.

No Better Place to Be


A favorite of mine from the Wingman Returns album, with Bertolf Lentink adding the pedal steel guitar:
Motel Blues


Another track from the Royal Parks album that makes good use of the mellotron:

Doing Overtime
