Hi Arturo! I´m Nils Palm from Sweden! Sounds a lot like myself. Freelance since over 30 years and still counting. Play (upright and electric), teach and write.
I moved from Stockholm to the countryside some years ago with Wife, 5 kids, 1 Newfoundland, 2 cats and a rabitt...... and a bunch of basses. Take care!!!

Torsåker? Nice place! Maybe one day we'll be neighbours.

I have a brother named Nils, and palms have recently been discussed in the Bull pit. Talk about parallel lives!

Anyways, it's good to see a fellow semla eater around here. Tell me, do you prefer them in hetvägg or without?

[Nils Palm]

No hetvägg around here! (My wife prefers it that way though.)
I´m a straight ahead kind of guy, Black coffee & wolf down ....ready!!

A sign of a perfect semlabreak is the powder sugar on ones nosetip!

Not to hijack, but has anyone on Ken's forum besides me ever been to Jokkmokk in February?

And the cream in your moustache!!
I guess I'm the sophisticated man, then. I like tea, to the extent that I might say no if I am being offered some cheap supermarket quality. Mabe I am a lot like your wife. I hope I am still male, though - ought to check that out later.

Steve, man, Jokkmokk is the place, or so I've heard. Did you hear Jokkmokks-Jokke play? It was always too far from Värmland... but I've been to Rokkmokk!
And of course, now I've spent almost a whole winter (it's not over yet...) in Tromsö. North is nice.

I'm very bad at keeping up with forums so a belated thank you to all who are so welcoming.

Nils, I was in Sweden and Finland in Aug. Played 3 mardi gigs in Stockhola at Akkurat and a few festivals in Nasaker, Lulea and a couple other smaller towns I can't remember. I enjoyed taking the "fast" train heading north. Countryside was beautiful.
