GUEST,Sheila Leary | Lyr Req: Johnny Von Beck/Rebek/Verbeck/Vorbeck (24) | RE: Lyr Req: Johnny Von Beck/Rebek/Verbeck/Vorbeck | 13 Oct 15 |
I have just been reading about South African history and have learned that Jan Van Riebeeck was an ethnically Dutch official who is considered the father of Afrikaner South Africa, founding the Dutch Cape Colony in 1652. His image was on South African currency until the end of the apartheid era, and the anniversary of his founding the nation was celebrated for hundreds of years. Just a coincidence of similarity with the song character of Johnny Rebeck / Verbeck? Maybe, but maybe not. |
