This is such wonderful music! It makes me long to learn Swedish---as my ancestors were also Swedish---and add Swedish song literature to my repertoire. Someone please point me to a Swedish diction text! Thanks for posting this gorgeous song. Håkan does his usual masterful job.
(worldwideweb(dot)kreativpedagogik(dot)se/engelska(dot)htm#english) points you to the right address, I hope, at least there's links to americans living here.
BTW I trust that you can decode the address.
PS From which part of Sverige did your ancestors come?
Thank you dear countryman. I figured out your code and have saved the necessary materials for Swedish diction.
Also, as a matter of interest, my grandfather Alfred Anderson came over from Grolanda, Skaraborg. I have yet to find that on a map ... but I'll do so soon. Best wishes.
Type Grolanda in the "Var?"-box at worldwideweb(dot)hitta(dot)se.
Click "Visa även träffar med liknande stavning " and note that there are several hits (63). I think it is near Falköping. #1 isn't in Skaraborg if I remember correctly.
A precious song! I really love Anne-Sofie von Otters version, but it's not on youtube :(
Is there anyone out there who can post it??
