A week ago, I went to the open stage at Visans Vänner. They have an open mic every second sunday. I played my regular 3 songs and didn’t think much about it. But, yesterday I got a call that the performance had been filmed by the local open access TV channel. So, I was on tonight. I don’t get the broadcast where I live so I could only get the web-cast. The sound was missing in the web-cast so I didn’t hear anything. But, I have been promised to get a DVD with the film later. Looking forward to that.

I used my new cellphone to record one of my original songs. I have been interested in the events that led to the birth of country music in Bristol TN/VA in 1927. There is a big festival every year to celebrate the event called the Bristol Rythm and Roots Reunion.

I wrote this song about the first recordings of Jimmy Rodgers, the Carter family and many other artists in 1927.

 

I have stayed at home during the last week and practised. Next week will be a busy week instead. I plan to go to Dubliners open mic on monday, Calors open mic on wednesday. Maybe Vida la Vidas open mic on thursday and at last Oldtime jam on friday.

Here is a picture from todays jogging. Not about music, but a nice winter view.

The Time Jumpers tonight was one of the best shows I ever seen. Must see if you like Western Swing. The play every monday at 3rd and Lindsley in Nashville.
