Auke Middel from
The Netherlands was a devoted P.J. Proby fan who established and
maintained his P.J.
Proby website for the enjoyment of all Proby fans.
One of
Auke's unique features on his website was a section where fans from
around the world could
nominate their personal top 10 P.J. Proby songs, however this is no longer
available on the internet.
Auke's widow has agreed to the Top 10 being re-established on the
Australian site in Auke's
memory and it will be appreciated if all P.J. Proby fans can give support
by submitting their personal top 10 Proby songs.
Each list
received will appear on this section of this website titled AUKE'S TOP
10 with name or pseudonym and town/city/country of the nominator,
(optional).
It is not
an easy task to pick out 10 songs in descending order from the rest of
P.J.'s great songs but if you take your time you can do it. Just remember that
they don't have to have been hit songs, just the ten that you personally like
best from those that you have seen or heard P.J. sing on some form of
recorded media with No. 1 being your favourite.
I recall
that Auke's No. 1 song was "I Apologise" as it would
also have been mine, but I can't recall the
rest, so if anyone has a copy of any of the Top 10 songs from Auke's
site it would be appreciated if you could forward them in so they aren't
lost.
Come on, let's all make an
effort to build a fitting memorial to Auke. It would be nice if we could
have some lists before the end of 2009.
