About Me

Born in Northern Norway.Have had the sea as my workplace since 1973 Did marry the “Love of my life” August 1997.Have 3 wonderful kids. Best friend: Venna (golden retriever).

I have always been interested in music since i can remember, and the first band that had a great impact on me was Creedence Clearwater Revival. Still i like to listen to the CCR. Then came Pink Floyd’s “Dark side of the Moon”, and the world did change. Queen, Yes. Rick Wakeman, Genesis, Barclay James Harvest, Moody Blues, yes the list is very long. There is/was also many great Norwegian bands: Zoo, Prudence, Aunt Mary, Titanic, Hillbillies, Dance with a Stranger, Henning kvitnes, Åge Aleksandersen, Arnt Bigfoot Hansen. In Denmark was Gasoline and Savage Rose. But in 1975/76 between Australia and Japan i get to know of Strawbs. Since that day i have been listening to their music almost every day. Favorite albums: Hero & Heroine, Ghost, Grave new World and Nomadness. Planning to see the band play live next year for the first time.
Have to mention “Rocles” MySpace.com/Rocles , who is a big help regarding Computer recording. Les Cotton (Rocles) do all Mixing/Mastering and also play Bass, Acoustic/Electric Guitars and drums on most of the songs that is on Myspace. It’s been and is a pleasure working with Les Cotton; hopefully we will do more in the future. Bjørn
