TV pianist Cor Bakker has caused bewilderment by suddenly walking through the center of Dronten, as if he is a very ordinary Dutchman. “They were completely in shock.”
In the 90s, pianist Cor Bakker quickly became a well-known Dutchman thanks to his role as a regular musical sidekick in Paul de Leeuw’s popular TV show De Scream of the Lion. And of course there is recognition to the BN’er-shelf. There are always people somewhere who find you a enough big star to ask for a photo.
“I don’t know you!”
Cor knows everything about that. “Because of Paul I came to the television, with the De Scream of De Leeuw, which 2 million people watched. After a few weeks I was recognized on the street.” Hey Cor! ” I thought: I don’t know you at all. Party.
He continues: “It is never annoying or in a nasty way when people appeal to me. It is always positive and sweet. We live in Amsterdam, and you are not bothered by it. In the province it is much more.”
Loose in Dronten
One day Cor also walked loose in the center of Dronten, a village in the province of Flevoland. “In Dronten there was once a man on a bike, Brechtje was also there, and he said,” Are you sometimes Cor Bakker? ” I replied, “Yes, I can’t deny it!” And then the man continued: “Oh, my God.”
The Drontenaar in question was shocked and did not expect a Dutch person to come to his village. “He was completely in shock.” Is it so bad? “I then asked.” No, but yes … that you are walking here! “
‘I was there’
It has never been clear for the outside world, and also for that man, why Cor was just walking through Dronten as a well -known Dutchman.
Now he finally gives clarity. In the party. “One of my two other daughters then lived in Dronten, so yes, I was just there.”
