Guldkatt at Sandelska
Boxingday, December 26th, 2014
A day for amusing people with folkmusic, and bring som warm feeling in the winter. Guldkatt drove to Sandelska, for the third time, and almost everyone at the old peoples home was ready to listen. They missed the half past three coffee with three minutes, because of us, but we hope that wont be any harm.
Happy Christmas!

.She is here!
Thursday, December 15th, 2014
And there she come. Guild ......I call her ”RosaLee,” after my grandmothers favourite cowe.
One day of tuning and now its just amazing to play melodies.
This is probably not a guitar to have on nightsessions in Bingsjö and risk to injury this beauty.
It will be indoor-play for a while, and Greger and Curre will be at the more ruffy sessions.
Grandmother, Dorotea, with the favourite-cow, Rosalia.
Final for musical-community-school.

The Mass
Sunday, December 14th, 2014
Sunday morning. A few degrees below zero. Sun is here, at last. Take a long trip with Sonic and almost missed the start with playcottage. Appeard just a few minutes before start. Have not time to install the amplifier. Pity, but the sound in the church could make special-effects and be bewilded with eletrical instruments. The audience told us the they were satisfied with the sound.
Melting in the sun
Playingcottage
Saturday, December 13th, 2014
In the middle of the day, mother and I went to playing-cottage.
Tomorrow its time for us to play at the mass. Confidently play with MrG, Stardust and the black grouse scientist.
And Meg is just great. In one tune, she stop us.
” Stop, wait for a second! In this tune you play C and C# at the same time.
What is the right tune?” And we have to play it once again, and agree with C sharp. Just lovely to have a great teamleader with golden ears.
Waiting for a new member.

December-light like a wet black t-shirt. But a shining star is coming to Guldkatt in a couple of days. One more 12-string guitar. Guitarplayers are a bit strange. We cant just have one instrument.

Inplaying Parkway no9
Saturday, September 20th, 2014
Metromonas new place has to be inplayed. SävjaFolk, Marja, and Eva give a helping hand for that. Tunes from different part of the country, and famous on various epoques. Sandwichtart and folkmusic is a good combination. Torsåkers gånglåt has to be played and not to be forget.
Sonic is following with me. He cant be at home for so long time and the dog is a part of the family, and should be near the master. Well, the first impression was not so cool.
Rehearsel
Thursday, September 15th, 2014
Long time no see. Three years ago since we have a session together, the Bagman and I. Well last year we played two tunes at Uplands Nation, but you cant count that short meeting for a session. Moving dust from old tunes, and we both realize the chords and arrangement.
