A different kind of gig…

Yesterday I played at a party. Just an acoustic guitar and my voice. To celebrate my 80 years old mother I sang and played a song instead of a speech.

After nine days he suddenly came back!

The hope has left me  and I just begun to accept that he probably was dead…

When I got out of the car I heard a tiny little “meow” and there he was. Wet, dirty and thin….

I dropped my bags on the ground and hugged him, crying of happiness.

I’ll never know what happened to him but I know I love this little animal.

It started with a strange sound from the washing machine… Something is wrong but I have absolutely no idea what…

Then the fridge started scream…something with the cooling system… I tried to fix it but it still comes and goes.

Then I recognised that the floor in front of the dishwasher had a bump. I pulled out the machine and discovered a water leak. I called the Insurance company who came and removed the floor and told me I have to replace the whole floor, in the kitchen, livingroom  and the hall. But first, four weeks with a large fan to dry what´s left of the kitchen… Then i noticed a similar bump in the bathroom. We have to tear down your bathroom too the carpenters said. But don’t worry, we’ll fix a provisional shower for you… in the cellar…. ( my cellar has no heat, no floor but a lot of spiders…) Then the cat disappeared. The cat I love so much, who wakes me up every morning and always kiss me goodnight… He was just gone. When I searched for him I discovered that the water heater was broken.  Hot water spurted from below and I had to call the on-call Plummer. 5000:-

On Wednesday the carpenters come back and I don’t know if I can stay in my house until everything is fixed…

I hope this is it… I’m a bit worried about the car… and the studio… and my health…

But I only cried once… the cat. everything else can be replaced, but the cat… I miss him and it hurts thinking about what could have happened to him….

My most beautiful guitar is a Ibanez Rs525 purple haze.

I bought him in the early eighties together with a fender dual showman reverb amp.

That was my equipment playing with Krakel Zpektakel.

I still use both the guitar and the amp.

Of course the guitar family has grown since then and my latest love is also an Ibanez.

A seven stringed Rgd matt black who I met last summer.

But number one is still my Ibanez Artcore AWD82 Electric Semi Hollow Body Guitar Blue Flame Top.

Love at first sight.

These guitars are my top three. (Right now I’ve got

eight more…)

Another year passed…

2016 was a good year. I released 8 songs, one video and worked a lot to restart the new version of my band Krakel.

Two gigs, one with Krakel and one with Lokalbefolkningen.

Three Krakel songs are mastered and ready for release and two videos are finished. We haven’t decided about the artwork yet. We’re planning for a release party but have some work left to do before gig. I you want to know more about the band go to www.krakel.co

I want to thank all of you who supported me last year.

I wish you all a happy 2017.

It’s time for a video…

Here’s Talking to strangers…

This one just came to me…

Two days in the studio and now I give it to you.

Here is Talking to strangers:

It’ll be a different Christmas at my house this year. Last Sunday I discovered a water leak in my kitchen. The insurance company came and said that the whole floor has to be replaced. Later I noticed that not only the kitchen was damaged, the bathroom too… So, I celebrate Christmas with a huge fan thundering and no floor and no dressers in the kitchen. In four weeks the renovation will start…

I want to thank all of you who supported me in 2016 and you who listened to my music and sent me feedback.

I wish you all a merry Christmas and I want you to think about those who spend tis holiday alone, those who can’t celebrate Christmas at all, all the children who suffer in dysfunctional families and people who just aren’t happy…. I’m lucky, I’ll spend Christmas with my mother, my daughters and their men.

Take care of those you love and Merry Christmas!

Working with the video for Krakel.

Editing film takes a lot of time but now we have something that looks pretty nice…

This time of the year I’m very busy like everyone else, so the studio has to wait. Soon I’ll have vacation for two weeks and then I’ll try to record the ideas I’ve collected since the last release.

Today my friends in the band Patchwork, released their new album on Spotify.

My favorite track is I need to know.

What’s yours?

Have a listen!
