Hello Dear Friends!

I have had some wonderful days working with my band. We tried out some new songs at our concert in Alvdal, Tronsvangen Seterhotel. What a view and place for a concert! Perfect for our start ''Dovregubbens hall'' , from "Peer Gynt"  by Edvard Gireg! 
It was so nice to see some of you again from former shows. Thank you so much for coming all the way! I really do hope that you enjoyed the time up in the mountains as much as we did!
Now I will have some time off with my family and friends. Relaxing and enjoying the summer holiday.  But even though it is holiday I can't help my mind working with the new songs. Maybe I will get some new ideas? You never know.... But first I will go for a swim....
Take care and enjoy the summer!
;-)

Hello again my dear idol.

Great to hear about that. I hope you will have some nice, fresh ideas for your new songs.

Summer is nice. Sunset is so beautiful in Bergen during the summer.

I really love you and your beautiful voice, and I really really want to see your show. Wish you will come to my dear country China and make a concert in the future :D

Novay is so foreign. Lots of mountains, difficult traveling, staying overnight for trips that we would do in a day on the interstate.

Tack själv kära Sissel, nöjet är helt på min sida som bara kan sitta och njuta av dessa underbara stunder du ger från scener runt om i världen. Den lilla kritik som Jag vill framföra denna gång gäller konsertens längd. 1 timme och 15-20 minuter kändes snöpligt kort och en stor saknad och tomhet infann sig desvärre.
Jag hoppas du tar igen det vid framtida konserter.
En fortsatt skön sommar önskas dig och dina nära och kära!
Hälsningar från,
Martin, Örebro, Sverige

Hello Sissel! I hope really you have a good and profitable rest with his family.The family is the first institution that GOD did in that world! A prophet said one time: "Any success in the life, compensates the failure in the home! " Take care of his family, as always has been doing, and mainly of his crystal voice. Have care and happinesses! Walui (Brazil)

Hei på deg igjen kjære Sissel og tusen takk for den vakre konserten i Alvdal. Jeg vil ha mer, mye mye mer, og gleder meg stort til neste anledning.
Men først, masse sommer og badeliv. Her er det badetemperatur døgnet rundt. Håper du og dine også har det helt topp.
Sommerklem og hilsen fra Gunnar

I hope you're having a lovely time with family and friends and are enjoying as pleasant weather as we are currently in the UK.
I'm looking forward to seeing you in concert again, in Denmark, later this year.
It would be good if you have been inspired for new songs, of course I'm sure your fans on the forum would be delighted to make suggestions for songs you could perform!

Dear Sissel,

many greetings from the hotel "Soria Moria" in Oslo! The first song on this album is "Se over fjellet" - but this is totally impossible today, because all is covered by clouds! Today we visited the Munch-Museum and the new opera. Perhaps you will give concert there one day? We have spend three weeks in Nornes at the Sogndalsfjord. Nearly all the time weather was so wonderful. What a feeling to swim in the fjord and see the snowcovered mountains at the same time! Norway and especially the "Vestland" is fantastic. In the beginning of our holidays my wife and I had the chance to see you and your musicians on stage in Alvdal from the first row . What a pity that the beautiful concert was over so very soon! I wish you all the best for the upcoming concerts!

Etter å ha hørt deg synge "Shenandoah" og andre store perler på spilleren min i timesvis, vil jeg gjerne kommentere at å høre deg synge er en ren opplevelse. Stemmen din har en så utrolig 'helbredende' effekt; som man sjeldent er vitne til. Ubeskrivelig vakkert.

Ønsker deg samtidig lykke til med de nye sangene. Ser fram til å høre dem. :-)

Hello from Utah :)

I'm so glad I found your corner of the Internet here. I started hearing about you after you sang with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir a couple years ago. So a few weeks ago, I got on iTunes and purchased a few songs. My new favorites!

I am looking for sheet music but have not found any! I hope that you will make some available to those of us who share your passion for music, although we may have only a sliver of your talent. :)

i love reading your blog, as I'm sure others do as well, because it is such an awesome thing to be able to keep in touch with a really cool person as yourself.

Sissel, you are the idol to all of us! just keep on being who you are, we ALL love you for it! you are a blessing to this Earth!

take care, and i hope you are having a very enjoyable time touring and relaxing!

Dearest Sissel,
I saw some of your August 8th concert on youtube and you looked and sounded superb. What a fun outdoor setting; the audience seemed very casual. I just love to see you perform especially in person. You have such grace and a magical way with the audience. I'm sure your beautiful voice hypnotizes us all. Thank you for doing what you love and sharing your talents with the world. I know you've worked very hard developing and perfecting your talents. Thank you.
So are you done with that swim yet?
I hope your summer has been full of family, friends and fun. I wish you the best always. Leeny :)
