    Thanking you!
    1 Jaap Schoder plays on period instruments
    2 Jaap van Zweden youngest ever leader of the Concertgebouw
    3 Jaap Valkoff His most famous text he wrote in 1961 on demand of Johnny Hoes called "Hand in hand kameraden" (Hand in hand comrades). The melody used was already 70 years old (composed by Wilhelm Speidel) and the text was used to promote several Dutch football teams such as Ajax Amsterdam and Feyenoord Rotterdam. Hoes sung the song for all clubs at first, but eventually only the Feyenoord edition stayed alive, in fact the song became their official club hymn.

    You doubtingb Thomas!

        Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

            OK Schroder it is, providing you don't need the accents! By the way I wasn't just throwing names around, but no point in doing a lot of typing if they were wrong.

            The other I mentioned could qualify. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaap_Kunst

                I don't think it's exactly being pedantic to ask for clear answers to specific clues, cloughie - part'n'parcel of life in AA I'd say

                  You're even pedantic in your responses - but I guess you'll not change!

                    Private N pops his head above trench parapet ...has a quick shifty...another couple of whizzbangs land disturbingly close...pops head down again.
                    'Well, Sarge, it's all a bit like WWI up there, as far as I can gather - long periods of inactivity followed by outbursts of activity of varying degrees of hostility'.
                    'Get back up there, man - we need a latter-day futile gesture'.
                    [Exit Private N]
                    A thoughtful frown crosses the no-man's-land of the Seargent's worryingly low forehead.

                          No - they are not related as far as I know.

                              Please explain 'related', which does not feature in the question.
