Maybe I'm Amazed at Linda Station (Cover Competition entry)

This was our entry to Paul McCartney's Maybe I'm Amazed covers competition, which along the way turned into a tribute to Linda McCartney, women empowerment and the fight against breast cancer. But above all it was inspirational to do a cover and a music video (both a first timer for me).

Thanks to all for viewing, liking and responding. Cheers!

Rob: thanks for writing the music arrangement with me and recording your bass and lovely raspy voice. Credits go to you for the idea of changing the chorus to minor, using a ukulele. Ukulele's rule!

Lou: thanks for not panicking when I asked you just two days before the shoot: "Hey, we have a bit of music. Can we do a video?"

Bart: thanks for the Linda metro sign and metro map!

All the other colleagues and students at CMD Maastricht who helped behind or in front of the camera's: great work guys (and girl)!

Marjan: you are and always will be the love of my life. Thanks for letting me work on the song and video preparation in the middle of the night, without being grumpy about it.

Sir Paul: thanks for writing the song in the first place. Hope you like what we've done with it. :-)
