Well, no church-background really, I guess somehow it all started when I was like 2-3 years old an my Grandmother had me in her lap playing an old organ, singing stuff like Amazing Grace and other gospel tunes..
Must have been quite rare to do that in Sweden I guess, but she passed on all my musicality in the genes, haha!!!
Her family was a whole bunch of great musicians quite known and much hired in their area some 70 years ago.
Hey Piotr, brother!! Good to see you here at YouTube too, hope all's well! Yeah, it was a super evening in the church, looking very much forward to see you again and play some blues!!!!
Thanks Fngrpckr!! Yeah, it was a great night in that church, the crowd was very enthusiastic about my music. Don't think that playing the blues in churches is too common in Poland..!! But it all worked out very well..!! Sorry 'bout the audio, but at least one can hear the audience clap their hands with the beat..!! :)
That was great John :)

I have always been a spiritual person so I guess the blues and gospel just came naturally to me..
It's a gift, some people tell me..
Thanks for making me think about this for a while, bro!

Even tho' I'm not into gospel stuff, I must say that this music had such a "mystical" feel to it that I watched the video 10 times already =D
very nice, I'm totaly impressed.
