I'm trying to think of another chord to play.

Two more lyrics to swelter too ...


Outside World

Can you hear me now?


The world outside

Was my first album

When I was 15


Not so long ago


1975

open fields

and sunflowers


the education was flowing

the ideas were growing

but I was never much

for the outside world


“The world outside is so cruel”

I sang in 1975

When I was 15

With Ingmar Bergman on TV






Drivin’ Pennsylvania

Drivin’ Pennsylvania

Oh Yeah


It’s a sweet, sweet place

On the interstate

Lots of rolling hills

No need for sleeping pills


Away from the hustle

Away from the bustle

A smooth and easy ride

In the countryside


From Bordentown to Gettysburg and back

From Bordentown to Gettysburg and back

Remember it well, but I had forgotten all about that. I don't think I've done any movies since that first one, and the PBR event.

PBR - A World of Contrast
1st event : cold and snowy
2nd event: sweltering heat and humidity

Just watched your FRONTPORCH-MOVIE
3 times. (Preping for the PBR/TEST-PATTERN meeting)

DO YOU REMEMBER?

It's a classic.

Very Scandinavian, sir.

I have 2 or 3 Varttina.

Maybe tooling around the countryside in an old truck is every Northerner's dream.

Strange world.

Do you have recordings, Joe??


FUNNY THING ---

DO YOU REMEMBER___ a recent transmission
where I mentioned ABBA's Bakery Truck tooling down the highway??

Well the front cover of Benny's album
is a black and white photo of a bus or bakery truck tooling
down a back country lane (in SWEDEN)
with the words BENNY ANDERSSON'S ORKESTRA written in white.

This morning I noticed the writing had a white line pointing to the bus/bakery truck.

IT IS SO GOOD TO BE IN TUNE :)

(with the forces of SWEDISH folk musik)

In that same neighborhood, I'm a big fan of Värttinä
Finnish (I think) folk tunes, with lovely vocal chorals.

Still awaiting Brad's answer.

In the meantime,
latest purchase is BENNY ANDERSSON'S ORKESTRA
made entirely in SWEDEN with SWEDISH liner notes.

I heard some of it coming into work today.

It's mainly traditional SWEDISH folk music with accordions and violins and a few vocals
in SWEDISH.

A very relaxing album reminiscent of my GERMANIC upbringing.

VIVA SVENSKA!!!!

That is okay with me.
The main question is: is it PBR or Test Pattern...
