People have asked me about Helmut (below) as he is most sincerely an eccentric person who does not enjoy the limelight in any way. He is certainly by now a recluse and lives in a single room at the headquarters of HarmonSink in Amsterdam (he calls this his Kleine Ruimteflat) but it is really merely a room with a basin and WC.

Although he has many of Klaus Harmony's (his father) traits and personality tendencies, he inherited much from his Godfather, Friedrich Wohlfäht, who was also most eccentric and sometimes reclusive also.

By the time he was in his mid-twenties (he is now in his late-thirties) he was wanting to stay inside and sometimes not wash his hair. Originally we thought this was perhaps because he was fond of the legendary progressive hard rock supergroup, Marillion. We did invite the lead singer, Fish, to visit and try to coax poor Helmut from his tent in the car park but, despite many attempts by the kind rock icon, it was not possible sadly.

It is true that it is difficult often at times to communicate with Helmut about the business side of running HarmonSink and selling Klaus Harmony music but we have found a way to make this work. Generally a man is posted outside the door of Helmut's Kleine Ruimteflat and can recieve emails and SMS text messages on his handheld device. He will then write these onto a clean sheet of paper (using raspberry juice as Helmut does not like ink) which can be passed under the door into a chamber which conects to Helmut's room which he will enter to retrieve this.

I was charged with custody and care of young Helmut when Klaus died in 1984 so I am family to the boy. Sometimes Pupu believes I am harsh and disloyal to him but I do love him and am only the victim of my own frustrations.

But we do work very effectively together and I am very proud of him.

I must visit him now to drop off this month's supply of Muesli on which he subsists completely.

Peace,

Jan Sink
