Hello friends. This week was busy with lot of work and many gigs.

I played open mic at Visans Vänner on Sunday. Nice to come out to Evert Taubes old homeplace and eat kötbullsmörgås and play a few songs. Monday was open stage at Dubliners. Tuesday open mic at Gamle Port and finally on wednesday open mic at Calor. A lot of people everywhere and met many people.

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.

It has been a busy week. Last monday I went to the open mic at Dubliner and Jan Cederlöf was nice to give me a new drawing. On wednesday I hosted the OldTime jam at Vida La Vida on Fjärde Långgatan in Göteborg. After that I went to open mic at Calor on Viktoriagatan. In the meantime I have written a new song about Gentleman Jack (the founder of the Jack Daniels destillery).

I have been working for over a year with writing songs and recording them. My plan is to have 10 songs on the CD. I have some recording of harmonies and instruments still to do, but it is getting closer to the finish.

I have put up the raw mix of some songs on soundcloud. There is no EQ or any adjustment of levels, just a raw mix. Here is an example of one of the songs:
