Kim & Jan play & draw
Sunday, April 6th, 2008
Yesterday we took the kids to an afternoon performance by song-and-dance-man Jan De Smet (as a life-long Dylan fan, he won’t mind me calling him that) and cartoonist Kim Duchateau. Jan played songs on his multitude of instruments : mostly translations of Woody Guthrie’s children’s songs, but also song from his own repertoire. Meanwhile, Kim provided live wacky illustrations.
It was pretty impressive to see how the two of them improvised and played together, considering that this was the frist time they did this. I liked the way every drawing was ready by the time the song was inished, and vice versa.
