The biggest star of Miami Vice has always been Jan Hammer's music.

Mijn god het Engels van Wessel is perfect Native, ik was een egrote van de serie miami vice. De jaren 80 waren veruit het beste decennia in de muziek en film industrie, ik ben blij dat ik die tijd heb mee gemaakt.
Bedankt voor deze fantastische gesprek met Don.
