About Me

After a cloud there's another....and another....and another.... But they change... I get new insight, and move a tiny step forward! Life is just wonderful; love both the good shit and the bad stuff;-)I bumped into this place 27 years ago, and was given the artistic name Bodil. So who am I? Still trying to figure that one out... What I do know is that I love to write songs and sing- would probably be a mental case if I didn't have my friend "Takamine", a sheet of paper and a pen.I've been in different sorts of bands since I was 12 years old, mostly playing my own stuff. For the past 2 years I've performed and rehearsed with "Bodil and her Bees". But things seemed to stand still and that is why I made the decision to move on alone. So now it's just me and my guitar + recording plans. I was lucky enough to become friends with this guy the other day. He has written 3-400 songs and spent the past 50 years in this business- glad I didn't know that before I made the first call...;-) He can teach me a lot about songwriting and performing, and that's my plan; I am determined to become a better writer, make better songs, become a better singer etc... I'll be there on the next jam, the next singer/songwriter event- alone on stage with my presence of mind, my voice and my guitar. I will record an album one day- that's basically all there is to it right now:-)"If this be not love, It is madness- then It's pardonable..."
