The Dutch national anthem is my favorite of all countries. They play it
at the end of each Dutch language program transmission.


I thought I was the only one. I tune in especially at 0423 on 9590 to hear
it. Until I started looking up information about it I didn't know it was
the oldest currently-used anthem in Europe (dating from the sixteenth
century). The switch from 3/4 to 4/4 time is nifty too.
