🦋 Busy, fun, weekend
Lots of stuff going on this weekend! Sylvia (a child of the millenium, a dragon baby) is as of today, no longer able to write her age with a single digit (assuming of course that she is writing in decimal notation). We are having a birthday dinner with some friends this evening, and tomorrow afternoon her party will be at the Raptor Trust in the Great Swamp. The other big activity for me, outside of celebrating Sylvia's birthday, is fiddling. Barbara Lamb is in town this weekend, she's giving a concert at Menzel Violins tomorrow afternoon -- I can't make it because of the party, alas, but I've arranged for a fiddle lesson this morning. Really looking forward to it! I've learned her jig "Twisty Girl", I'm hoping she'll teach me "Älgen på taket". And the fiddling continues this afternoon, when Mountain Station (i.e. me and John) will have its first gig, at John's neighborhood block party. I'm pretty shocked at the amount of music we are comfortable playing -- we didn't work out a set list exactly, but we have enough songs to play for an hour set easily, and the order of the songs will determine itself...

Still single digits in duodecimal or hex, though. Nice thing with those bases--puts off the teenage years a while :)

This song "Aelgen på taket" reminds me of my youth in sweden when my father took me to all kinds of swedish folk music festivals.
Tried to find some more information of this beautiful tune but it seems pretty hard to get any..
Can you please help me with some information about this tune.
Thanks

Hi Frode, you ought to try getting in touch with Barbara Lamb. She would probably be able to help you out.

("Älgen på taket" is from her record Swedish Design.)
