1 The Hotcha Story by Art M. Daane Milan, Italy - 1939 From left to right: Eddie Sernee Joop Heijman Geert van Driesten Cor Belder Wim Belder Revised, due to new information! It was in the mid 30's that Geert van Driesten joined Mac Geldray's M outh Accordion Band. (Mac became Max at a later stadium). The band members were H. and R. Lodema, K. and C. de Winter, J. de Kruyff, W. Bollerman, G. van Driesten and the leader Max van Gelder, who became the well-known “Goon Show” member Max Geldray. Max was offered an engagement to tour England, but only Geert and the Lodema Brothers were keen enough to go along to England. The band had become a quartet and during the England tour they became known as the Hollander Boys. After their return they were quite busy performing in theatres and even radio. W hen things went quiet and Max was more frequently working solo, Geert joined four other harmonica players in Rotterdam. The Belder brothers Cor and Wim, Joop Heijman and Eddy Sernee, the five of them visited the world-famous Borrah Minevitch Harmonica Rascals who were touring Europe at the time, and they were allowed to play something for Minevitch. Borrah called them Hotcha Boys (Hotcha is a Latin- American word meaning rhythm). From then on they called themselves the 5 Hotcha’s. A song, composed by Messrs. Jerome, Byron and Kent “I wanna make rhythm for the movie “Manhatta n Merry go Round was recorded by various bands, amongst others on September 3rd 1937 by Benny Berigan and on March 5th 1938 by Harry Roy, the 4th line of the chorus is I wanna get Hotcha thus The Hotcha’s. When the movie " Mad about Music" with Deanne Durbin and the Cappy Barra Harmonica Ensemble was showing in Rotterdam, the 5 Hotchas performed during intervals. They then joined the famous circus "Cirque Médrano" in Paris. On their way there; they performed for Belgian and French radio stations. They were becoming well-known with numbers like " Chinatown my Chinatown, Donkey Serenade, Tiger Rag and the Hungarian Rhapsody No.2." Before they went on their tour in Italy from July 1939 until February 1940 they performed in Amsterdam and Rotterdam, in the meantime contracts had been signed for Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Poland, lasting a number of years.
