A day in the life

By Shelling

Cohen-concert

This is the church of  "Algutsrum", Algots room, meaning  a person who's first name i Algot and his land. Old villages often have name after people and their struggles to break new land for themselves in the forest. His land might eventually have grown to be a village and some time, there was a need for a church. 

Little did Algot know that myself and four other musicians was doing a concert celebrating Leonard Cohen this evening.

We had some big technical problems during our setting up, which meant we didn't have time for any pep talk before the concert, our brief soundcheck took place when most of the audience was already seated. If we hadn't had ten years of playing these songs, we would have had big problems doing the concert at all, but nobody noticed, I think. We did, but that's another thing. The audience was very happy, and so were we when it was over. After the first two songs, we were quite confident too.
