Page "Doe Maar" Paragraph 23

* Ernst went back to the annual CC Inc reunion gig and produced albums for De Drie Heeren ( featuring Joost ) and indie-band Blue Murder.

In 1985, two years in the making he released his second novel ; De Overkant ( The Other Side ) deals with the damage done by colonialism on the Dutch Indies.

Still sided by Jan H., Ernst got involved with ( fictional ) female-fronted bands ; they were members of Midnight Hour and Rien Ne Va Plus, and scored the music for television series Switch starring Ernst's wife-to-be Jaloe Maat.

In 1990 Ernst wrote a song for the semi-fictional Patty & Shift from the popular Spijkerhoek-series.

Jaloe Maat guested in the actual season as an obsessive lesbian fan making singer Patty's life hell.

In 1991 and 1993 Ernst wrote two songs for children's choir Kinderen voor Kinderen ; the former, Verliefd op de Meester, naturally chronicled a schoolgirl's crush on her teacher.

In 1996 Ernst and Jan H. accepted an offer to join Boudewijn de Groot's new touring band.

However, Ernst turned down actor / presenter Tim Immers who recorded a cover-version of the Doris Day-album track Beter Bij Mij ( Better Off With Me ).

" He's a nice bloke, but he's got no talent ".
