Piet Veerman is a Dutch pop musician. From 1964 to 1985 he was a guitarist and singer for The Cats, and since 1968 the lead singer for all the singles of this band. He released a first solo album in 1975 but started his solo career definitely in 1987 after The Cats broke up for the last time. During his career, Veerman received more than thirty gold records.
Veerman was born in the fishing village of Volendam. His father played many instruments, like recorder, harmonica, guitar, banjo and sitar, and taught his son to play music. His mother was a painter and taught her son to paint. At an age of twelve the young Piet obtained his first guitar. At that time he didn't know if he wanted to choose art or music.
Together with his cousin Jaap Schilder, they performed as the Everly Kosters. This name was formed by De Koster, the nickname of their family, with a reference to The Everly Brothers that were immensely popular during their youth. However, the greatest influence for them came from The Hi-Lo's.

Piet (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈpit]) is a masculine given name derived from Petrus. It is a common Dutch and South African name, the latter because of Dutch emigration. People named Piet include:
An esoteric programming language (sometimes shortened to esolang) is a programming language designed to test the boundaries of computer programming language design, as a proof of concept, as software art, or as a joke. The use of esoteric distinguishes these languages from programming languages that working developers use to write software. Usually, an esolang's creators do not intend the language to be used for mainstream programming, although some esoteric features, such as visuospatial syntax, have inspired practical applications in the arts. Such languages are often popular among hackers and hobbyists.
Usability is rarely a goal for esoteric programming language designers—often it is quite the opposite. Their usual aim is to remove or replace conventional language features while still maintaining a language that is Turing-complete, or even one for which the computational class is unknown.
The earliest, and still the canonical example of an esoteric language was INTERCAL, designed in 1972 by Don Woods and James M. Lyon, with the stated intention of being unlike any other programming language the authors were familiar with. It parodied elements of established programming languages of the day, such as Fortran, COBOL, and assembly language.
Vaya con dios, my darling
Vaya con dios, vaya con dios, my love
Now the hacienda is so dark
The town is sleeping
Now the time has come to part
The time for weeping
Vaya con dios, my darling
Vaya con dios, vaya con dios, my love
Now the village mission bells
Are softly ringing (Bam, bam, bam)
If you listen with your heart
You'll hear them singing
Vaya con dios, my darling
Vaya con dios, vaya con dios, my love
Wherever you may be
I'll be beside you, oh, yes, I will
Although you're many, many dreams away
Each night I'll say a prayer
A prayer to guide you, oh, yes, I will
To hasten every lonely hour of every lonely day,
ohohoho
Now the dawn is breaking
Through a gray tomorrow
But the memories that we share
Are still there to borrow, yeah!
Vaya con dios, my darling
Vaya con dios, vaya con dios, my love
Oh, oh, oh!
Vaya con dios, my darling
Vaya con dios, vaya con dios, my love
Vaya con dios, my darling
Vaya con dios, vaya con dios, my love
Oh, oh, oh!
