Hey all!

I don’t post much anymore, but been around since the flannel days. Last December it was discovered a tumor in my brain! Been healthy my entire life, and suddenly things looked murky and uncertain. Completed a four hour long brain surgery end of May where they successfully removed it. Now, I am over the moon to say that everything looks perfect, and the biopsy is nothing but a big green light! I am now able to put this one behind me, and look forward. My speech and language skills is a bit shaky from the operation, but I am getting better every day. Just need to graduate from pre school one more time.. :)


It is interesting to experience how fragile this life can be. A normal day, and BAM; all the guarantees you have been banking on in life suddenly fades. I have been lucky.. Hail Hail the lucky ones I guess. Time to amp up the celebration of life and to cherish every moment more than before. And hopefully I can start with a pj show!


I will be aiming to be in Berlin on July 3rd. Not 100% sure I can make it, but remaining hopeful. It will be my 20th pj show. 


I want to use the occasion to congratulate the band on Dark Matter. I am loving every minute of it, and it has been a steady companion on this journey 🙏  


I will of course be happy to hear anything, but if the band can consider a request for this lucky fellow, I would love to hear Waiting For Stevie or Release. I know Release has been requested for Berlin already ;)


See you soon! And thank you! 

I will swallow poison
