What Am I Listening To? Piet Botha and Jack Hammer!

In 2019, a little while after Piet’s passing in June that year, a limited edition retrospective double album was released on vinyl only. I have re-created this marvellous album as a Spotify playlist.

I met Piet for the first time at the Whammy Bar in Table View, Cape Town on 11 November 1999.

I last saw Piet at my 60th birthday bash at Bertie’s Mooring, Gordon’s Bay on the 8th February 2019. My birthday was actually on the 7th.
