Hatseflats! A made-up word. Fear, war, diseases; some things can appear suddenly. Such as creativity and music, as an example. Today is the birthday of the Oegstgeest-Leidse writer and jazz musician F.B. Hotz. During his life, he played his music in various places in South Holland. Creativity often comes from misery. Both Hotz and Hotze de Roos (the famous Dutch children’s book author) let their pens slide across the paper, creating magical worlds out of nothing. Musician, author, artist, chef or performer: whoever you are, let your creativity swing today!
