When Vollmer formed the band Helix in 1974, recording was done the old fashioned way on tape. There were no pitch correction devices to gloss over mistakes or computer applications to fix a train wreck in the rhythm section. There were none of the conveniences of digital recording, which today allows sound engineers to cobble together perfect songs from dozens of takes. Vollmer came up the hard way, but he has no regrets. In fact, he wouldn’t want to be an aspiring rocker today given what has happened to the business.

With glitz and glamour galore, hundreds of Belgians – including plenty of guests that were not – dressed to the nines to celebrate family and heritage history. Years ago, ancestors of Delhi residents made an emotional choice to gather their belongings and family and made their way to start a new and bright future in a new land. To help celebrate at a gala on Saturday, the Belgian Club welcomed Paul DeVos, Council General of Belgium. “I’m here on this great occasion to encourage everyone,” he said. “I know that most guests here tonight have family back in Belgium and are missing them. We are all very proud and very attached to where we come from, and that’s something to celebrate.” Information - News Wed, 19 Nov 2008 00:00:00 +0100
