To Björne!

Dear playmate and friend down all the days – this record is for you. Just a little ”Thank you!” for all those wonderful memories and the times we’ve played together. For all those crazy moments and long, whirling talks about us humans in the universe. About vibrations and spirals in matter and music. About love and life.

Some of the tunes on this album are from the repertoire we have played together with Björn Ståbi. The rest are tunes from Rättvik learned from fiddlers we have met, or been inspired by through recordings and notations. Here we play – without conscious sideglances or agendas – music that we have, for most of our lives, learned to love and express in our own way.
