My site is basically dedicated to music, and more specifically
to the blues, which has a great place
in my heart. The blues section has
expanded and will continue to do so. Bookmark

B.B.King is perhaps the best know
blues man on the Planet, and you can find plenty of my own photos
from a B.B.King concert in Tivoli,
Copenhagen in 1990, as well as photos
from the few times I had the pleasure of meeting B.B.King
personally.
The African culture has been an interest
of mine as long as I can remember and the Africa
section is a short introduction to the continent as well as different
countries. Africa and the blues
are closely related and rhythm patterns from the blues can be traced
to African traditional music in Ghana
and Sierra Leone. The Africa section
has expanded with lots of photos from Kenya,
and the Angola Choir Coceval. The
Africa section will continue to expand.
The site also contains issues such as graphic
design, education and culture. You will
find a section dedicated to my blues band "Chicago Blues Cruise " where you can hear a song as well. In cooperation with
Amazon.com
you can actually shop from this site and there are no extra charges
in doing so, it is simply an extra service and related to content
(shopping info).
The idea of this site is in a humble way to present myself and
the things I am doing at the moment. I hope that this site can bring
a little inspiration and attention to the above-mentioned issues.
Hopefully you will enjoy this site and perhaps get some new insights.
Should you have any questions to this site you can use my contact
