Hello dear friends!
Got back from two great experiences with the first 2 concerts of this summer.
We were very lucky with the weather as the weather had changed from a warm lovely summer to a cold and wet summer. We had sunshine on both concerts!
:-)
It is always a bit exciting on the first shows with some new songs and how they respond. I think it all went very well and I am very happy with the results. It was so fun!
We arrived at 3 o'clock in the morning in Årdal after a long busdrive from Jessheim right outside Oslo. Wow I was tired! We arrived in daylight, cause the sun was up.
Waking up the next morning to this beautiful view of the fjord and mountains with spots of snow at the top , was breathtaking. Incredible beautiful! And it was warm and very nice!
The picture is of me by the stage (and back stage). That's also the view the audience had. Å Vestland, vestland!
I feel so lucky and blessed to travel and work in this beautiful country!
Next stop is Rosendal. Another heartbreaking beauty, and another kind of concert. A piano, guitar and the voice. It will be so intimate and cosy! I can hardly wait! A true tradition as we would say in Bergen. (When something has been done twice, it is a tradition.)
Take care and enjoy the light and the summer!
;-)

Hi Sissel, Happy to hear your concerts are going well. What an incredibly beautiful picture of you, the fjord, and the snowcapped mountains! How I long to be back in Norway along the fjords of my ancestors! Continue to enjoy all your concerts and the gorgeous scenery. Love, Ken
That scenery is FANTASTIC!! What a perfect backdrop for a night of music :)
Hei igjen, fint bilde kjære Sissel.
Men at det også kunne være så vakkert på Jessheim ante jeg ikke! Jeg var der nå sist lørdag kveld og da kunne jeg fra hagen bak kulturhuset tydelig se både Dovre og Rondanemassivene i tillegg til alle vestlandets og resten av landets vakre fjell og fjorder og daler. For ikke å snakke om alle de vakre blomsterhagene og de andre forskjellige nydelige landskapene som var godt synlige fra der jeg satt. Har vært i Jessheim mange ganger jeg, men aldri lagt merke til det før.
Nå er sekken snart ferdigpakket og tiden nærmer seg for sommerens vakreste eventyr i Rosendal. Der vil nemlig solen skinne om kvelden onsdag 2. juli, uansett vær, både ute og inne.
Hilsen Gunnar
Hi Sissel
Thank-you for a wonderful concert in Jessheim, although I seem to have missed out on the spectacular view that was available in Ardal!
Apologies for delaying you after the concert (it sounds like one heck of a journey!) but I must say it was delightful to speak to you afterwards. Thank-you for taking the time to talk with me, along with the lady in the wheel-chair and Khing (& Queen!). Thank-you also for the signed photo.
Have a terrific birthday.
Best wishes
Kevin
Hi Sissel,
I imagine your songs among the mountain and fjords.
It must be heavenly scene with your crystal voice.
You are part of the beautiful nature of Norway.
Best wishes,
