Francesco Pico - Live @ libertyLivestream

I was very honoured when Remco asked me for the Groovecollection Podcast.

In the good old days of “progressive house”, the years when GU was leading, Sasha and Digweed the masters in disguise and Mark Zuckerberg was still in elementary School, the Groovecollection forum was an important progressive platform from the Netherlands. Jerry was responsible for running it and as a progressive artist I of course was a member of the forum. I met Jerry back in the days and we immediately had a connection through music but also with our 2nd passion; Snooker. The Groovecollection was important for me as a platform and I’m still very grateful for Jerry’s support. Reviewing my albums and singles, playing at the Groovecollection evenings and also doing podcasts back then, I became a true member of the GC family. Later I joined the Groovecollection Booking agency and I remember playing at Jerry’s housewarming party (the whole day? ;)) right before my Burn Out period.

While I was suffering health problems Jerry was still important for me. He gave me the chance to get some rest by letting me play Snooker weekly for free in Spijkenisse where he was doing his thing at the local Snooker club. So Jerry was one of few I still hang around with during this period. While he teached me Snooker we discussed and listened to music and talked about other things in life.

Well, we all know what happened after that and while wiping a tear away I write this story down, already wondering if it’s not getting too personal. Jerry we love you! And it’s an honour to be still involved and doing this Podcast which is an exclusive recording of the 5th May Liberty livestream event. Thanks so much Remco for the invite!!!!! (and I hope you can teach me surfing on a foilboard someday ;)).
