Bo Larsson

I was born in Ludvika (Sweden) on the 29-th of august 1960. None of my parents played any instruments but the radio was always on. The first songs I recall listening to was "She Loves You" and later "Yellow Submarine". I was also a BIG fan of Swedish artist "Lill-Babs"!"Queen" was the band I followed. "Killer Queen" got me hooked and the guitars in the solo of that song just blew me away. I still to this day love that sound.1986-1995 - Came a period of intensive writing and recording, first on a 4 track tape recorder (Tascam) and later on a 8 track machine (Fostex R8) in conjunction with an Atari ST1040 and a Korg M1. During all the years playing live I´d always been playing a Gibson Les Paul but now I more often played a Fender Stratocaster and a Burns Black Bison.I beleive Brian May got a cassette with some of my songs about ten years ago. He got it from his friend Gordon Giltrapp who got it from his friend and my friend Paul Day. I´ve got a copy of a fax supposed to be from Brian to Gordon where Brian say´s he "liked it a lot".I`ve got a copy of this fax and I can tell you it´s something I´m very proud of (I wont tell you what was in it but if we would meet someday and you asked me I just might...)A year later I got a review in Guitarist Magazine (sept.94 page 81) The guitarist review was 4 out of 5 for some of my songs.I´ve also, later on been in a Brian May competition with one of my songs ("Behind-the-nut-string-lock") and then I won, don´t laugh...I won some coins to use as pick (BM uses an old sixpence). There were a coin from Australia, Canada and Saudi Arabia - but not one sixpence! Now that realy didn't matter cause I had my song on the cd that comes with the mag! MyGen Profile Generator
