I want to thank you boundlessly for this treasure that you have materialized in my mailbox. ... First reaction, immediate: One could learn to play silverbasharpa from this film. Second reaction, after a few tunes: One could want to learn to play silverbasharpa from this film! I've heard others play gammalharpor without being inspired to anything more than intellectual interest. But his playing ... I believe Judy and I heard Styrbjörn and Anders Eklundh at a spelmansstämma somewhere (probably Gamla Linköping), with that same rhythmic energy and irresistibility. Then I watched the conclusion. What a sweetheart he was. And what a fine thing you've done to keep him with us. Thank you!

I think it's the best one yet! What a lot of wonderful information, along with the tunes! I was hoping you'd ask him about his bow-hold ... very typical for any gammelharpa player, but quite different from ours. What a loss to the music community! So many interests, so much talent. I want a stråk-harpa ...
