David you will never get the acknowledgement you so richly deserve from SA, never mind the rest of the world. I love your work man. I would love an opportunity to sit and have a long talk with you one day, but ja, probably not in this lifetime. I grew up in Durban and remember so well the meths drinkers that used to come to the coast for the winter and the permanent residents. I spent so much time trying to help those souls back onto a good road. We can always do more. fortunately there are some good tales to tell, but oh, so few. Hopelessness is a terribly destructive thing.
I am a chronic alcoholic of the worst kind. Substance dependent and substance abusive. Booze destroyed my life. I lost my work. If you are a kid listen. If you are a parent listen catefully. I never thought this would be me. But now this is me.
The essential David Kramer. Still the best Afrikaans song ever written. The song gets even better if you have experienced this world. When I got this album in the early 2000s I thought "Is jy bang" was the main reason this album was banned. Never thought this song was one of the reasons.
What is botteltjie blou? Methelated spirits? Love David Kramer. I can't find some of his really old stuff anywhere like, "Well I've bought a house, it's a beautiful house..." ??
Jy koop n bottel blou spirits en n bruin brood. Dan gooi jy die spirits deur die bruin brood om die ergste alkohol uit te haal anders kan jou lewer bars. Dan kry jy jou fix en drink jou brein dood.
@@wernercolyn892 Hi. No, unfortunately not. I wish there was more footage available but very little was filmed in those years. It's actually amazing that I have as much as I do. Thanks for the interest.
I have no words. This song and the album Bakgat! are seminal.

Thanks for the thumbs up. I really appreciate your gesture. I assumed I was speaking into the void.
Kind regards.

Wow! Meths drinkers, I remember them well 😔
'n Diep liedjie hierdie. Ek het hierdie mense self gesien.
That was my father's final life. I was too young to stop him.
Brilliant Mr.Kramer!
Die is wat ons se jeug moet luister. Heel toepaslik vir vandag se lewe.
