"BE REAL AND NOT FULL OF PRETENSIONS" -Miles Davis-

and thats the only thing I expect from you.....THANK YOU.....
   


Thursday, July 24, 2008 

Hi,and thanks for taking time to be my friend and to visit/comment on my site.
I do really like a lot of styles. I have played in different bands for 20 years now, and I still  do. At the time I mainly play jazz-oriented music, and I hope there will be a lot more of that type of gigs in the future.  I have also composed some tunes. 
I really wish all of you out there the best, and maybe/hopefully your/my add to a friend list... will help all of us to have our music be heard by a lot of people around the world, and this is a lot more difficult without MySpace.
As my list of friends grows, it will become harder to visit all of you, but i still care, and do you ever need help with some information about gigs/clubs in Norway...or just someone to chat with/write to..feel free to contact me...and I'll be there
Remember: --There are room for everybody in the business--
So..keep on with what you are doing ....
I will be happy..as long YOU are...

At the moment I have added one tune from a local jazz-jam with my friend Marte Aasjord on vocal.
Come back often and visit my page, you will find something new every week..txt, pics, videos, music...
Good luck with your MySpace journey......

TOGETHER

My good friend Per Stornes has translated the lyrics of my tune SAMMEN
Thanks to Per.....

Its not easy to translate lyrics...to find a way that Norwegian fjordpoetry make sence in English....but I think he has done a good job for me here..

Together

(..she was only 17, and he only 19...they just met for one week..that summer...he was from the northern part and she was from the southern part of......Norway...and afther 20 years they meet again)


Music and original norwegian lyrics by Oystein Drosshaug

Translation by Per Stornes©..:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

Now that you are here,

And we're both together

Can we try to get real near

We used to be birds of a feather

Now that you are here,

And we're in tune together

You're my lovely summer's rose

Can we try to get real close

Can we pick up the thread from when we started

When we walked together

And we warmed each others hearts

Can we talk together like we used to

When the meaning of life was all we ever knew

Together

Now that you are here

And I still can see the same grin

All my doubts are fading

I'll trust the memories

Now that you are here

I keep thinking of that summer

When we met and made a bond

And now those days are gone

Can we pick up the thread from when we started…

Now that you are here

I think that we were right when

We were young, we were naive

It was only there and then

Now that you are here,

I wish we could go back there

But the days have come and gone

it didn't turn out like we planned

Can we pick up the thread from when we started…


 

and finally, here is a more words for words literal translation:
Now that you are here, and we are together
Can we try to get real close, as close as we were the first time
Now that you are here, and we're tuned into each other
The summer weather's nice, let's try and get real close

 Chorus:

Can we pick up the thread from where we started

When we walked together and could

feel the warmth from each other

Can we talk together in the same way

the way that you and i could solve the mystery of life together.

Now that you are here, and i still can see the same smile

All my doubts are vanished, i'll trust the memories

Now that you are here, i keep thinking of that summer

When we met and forged a bond, and the days that now are gone

Now that you are here, i think we said all the right things

We were young, we were naive, nothing else mattered

Now that you are here, i wish I could make time stand still

But the days have come and gone, it didn't turn out like we planned
