Taking the Day off

[qwinkly]

Dear Mr. Kindgren, The waiting room at the hospital is now gently streaming a playlist of your beautiful music. My first grandchild will be born today. I'm determined that once the baby is born, your music will be the second music she ever hears. Sandi Patti singing "Masterpiece" (based on Psalm 139) will be the first. You're fabulous, but God trumps guitar, haha ! THANKS for your music !

[AndanteLargo]

Hi there! How did it go?? Is she out yet? Everything OK?

Congratulations grandpa!!! :-)

I am so honored to know you like my music and will 'present it' to the next generation.

I am honored.

Give her a hug from me.

Per-Olov

[qwinkly]

@AndanteLargo Everything went very well. She was born at 7:49am. Weighs 7lbs 9oz.

[aerostatov]

nice....

[felixfreeman]

downloaded your tab looking at your video wow dude its wayyyy harder than i thot cuz you look so calm guess your just that awsome

[qwinkly]

I love this piece SO MUCH !! I listen to it 3 or 4 times in a row. Finally, some other people are performing it, having bought your musical score. Of course, none of them play it as perfectly as you do. I guess the good part is that at least now I can hear my favorite piece more than once in a YouTube playlist. I wish YOU would put out this same recording, but change the name slightly. Then I could hear YOU more often in a 100 item playlist. Please consider it.

[judyesther]

Beautiful peace and performance.

Best wishes,

judyesther

[NadiaComposer]

I love the vibe here, very nice and soothing. Love this piece and performance looks so effortless :) Beautiful!

[AndanteLargo]

Kind regards,

Per-Olov

[MrJiffster]

Hi there! Thanks a lot!

Per-Olov

[Monserate321]

this is by far my favorite one.

[peterhguk]

Well, there's one for my favourites! My channel is moribund, BTW, but I'm still playing, might actually buy a piece of music...

[limbo0031]

Just got back from a swim with my son. Dusk settling, glass of wine in Australian summer..your beautiful music topped it all off! Thanks!

[ericwc123456]

Peo,

Beautiful  composition with a nice cadenza to it!

Cheers,

[Monserate321]

Man, you're music is so peaceful. I love it. You cure my rough days of school. Thanks!

[jonasjar]

trevligt stycke, även bättre ljud än jag kan minnas från dina äldre rullar

[BBGEEGEE]

maestro per-olov.. respect from thailand

[rnrhc10]

Per,

I did listen to your advise. I'm free and listening to your music. A great combination.

Greetingzzz

Rob

[AndanteLargo]

Hi Rob.

Thank you!

Great idea! Have a nice day off!

Per-Olov

[fhulkster]

another great piece Per, and Taking the day off sounds just perfect.

[musxlvr2]

I really love this piece, P. So very relaxed and full of fun :) One of your best! You ought to "take the day off" more often!! You certainly deserve it. The ending was like an invitation into more fun! :) Nice.

[AndanteLargo]

Dear A,

Thank you. I had great fun making this too.

As I write this I wish I could take a day off... we have a snow blizzard here in Copenhagen. I have to drive slowly today.

Hugs,

P

[r085049]

I really love your music!!!

always musical.

[Jazzguts]

Indeed a very groovy "Uplifted" piece Per, really reflecting an optimistic Mood.

[Bindiman1]

Finally managed to register to youtube - just for joining the crowd to tell everybody how good you are !

Wonderful piece of music. the new Hallberg sounds even better on this one ....

Thomas from Germany

[rd2ed]

Ahum…..she was right….this title is cool ;). So is this piece….loved it! It gave me the laid-back feeling of "Take Five"….you are a multifaceted musical artist! YT failed to notify me of this new piece….good thing I checked your channel….

[heycolslaw]

My first thought was,"This sounds like a movie theme!" So original, wonderful,sticks- in-your- mind type music. Producers are gonna be asking you about it for one of their Pictures. They would have said many years ago,"Give that man a Cigar!" (Hopefully you don't smoke,) Fantastic, Per!

[MissingVoices77]

Great Music Peo!

[nonexponential]

Fantastic and different from usual! A certain Paul Simon would be envious. I wish I could take the day off. Thanks, Per! - Athan

[meirenc]

Lovely! I was born in Brazil and it reminded me some Brazilian music. You are so talented!

[mazlanhalim]

A breathe of fresh air..even though it's not my day off... :)

[mazlanhalim]

First time I see tapping like that on a classical guitar, valuable skill...thanks Peo!

[mazlanhalim]

First time I see tapping like that on a classical guitar, invaluable skill...something fingerstylist do with their thumb..thanks a lot Peo!

[GuenterGeurts]

Hi Per-Olov, that's really nice lazy :-) I put up my legs and listen it again.

Have a nice weekend,

Guenter

[spronev]

Nice new composition! As always pleasure to listen to!

Svilen

[DeathgodAnubis3]

i honestly hope your music never dies such beautiful sound dosent deserve to end i wish you fame before youre life ends per you are an artist like no other and i hope that more people realise it because i name you one of the best guitarist composer i ever heard if not THE best and i love every piece of beauty you upload on youtube so relaxing and you know the night coming back from work theres nothing better than a nice relaxing piece of music like this and a gold old beer =P

[TheXaviaX]

beatiful song =)

[Eu0te0amo]

Absolutely beautiful - BRAVO! The feel and mood and movement of a day off is perfectly captured! Lovely and so relaxing. Thanks for sharing!

[soerennielsen]

Hey man, nice piece of music. Can you send the tabs to me, in a PM or something? I would really like to learn it :) Your website seems to be down.

[kennylippiatt]

Ah everything is so amazing, the video quality, the sound quality and most of all the playing. =) Much love from Australia.

[drhogue1]

I love all your music, and have great respect for the composer that is you. When you do a video would you not have a bright light behind your head? It makes it hard to see your face and hands.

[Blazerdsx]

it's got a nice jazzy vibe to it... in the beginning anyway. it's certainly different from what you normally do and I like it. Looking forward to more of your "lazy days" =)

[Blazerdsx]

[nvguitarguy]

Very cool piece Per-Olov! BTW your new guitar sounds incredible. Is it a standard or double top?

Best Wishes,

Craig L.

[mikeb929man1]

Dude your like extreme pro composer. You felt like making a cool, relaxed piece and that is exactly what I felt before even reading the description. Thank you.

[icespeckledhen]

another lovely piece, thanks for sharing

[Hyeth009]

excelente pieza mi guitarrista clasico favorito......per-olov kidngren¡¡¡

[kickingmule]

Taking a day off and go to the coast, watching Sun goes down in the Sea and you just sit there and watching the the light and shadows changing. It always changes and I am a part of it ! That's Life !

That's my thoughts listening to this wonderful piece.

Thanks !

Urban

[13crickets]

Very nice composition, maestro.

Pura Vida!!

Ron

[syncopater999]

You should really write more of your own contemporary compositions - this is very enjoyable to listen to - nothing in the guitar world beats an interesting melody and rhythm played on a good classical guitar.

[sackett68]

Absolutely marvelous! You are by far the most talented guitar player I have ever seen period!

[howtoplaygermanguita]

great!

[elisabeth6246]

Yes I like it ! It's very good.

[toilabuiducanh]

If the old guitar was so good why did you bought this one, sir? And why couldn't you keep both?

[AmandaTheCannibal]

well I think "Feeling Groovy" would be a good title!

[reginadelagarza]

hola !!!!!! como siempre es un placer escucharle... le dejo mis mas sinceros respetos y saludos! !!!

Regi!

[AndanteLargo]

Hola Regi,

Muchas gracias!

Saludos,

Per-Olov

[cartoonage]

time to say hello Peo , and thank you for this cool play ! warmest greetings to you and Marie !

[AndanteLargo]

Hi Elie!

Thank you for your message on my profile!

I hope you are well. The winter can be hard on us, I know. I hope this one will be a good, mild one. How is the old Rolls?

Take care, my friend.

Peo

Per-Olov

[obproductions100]

@AndanteLargo nps, do you teach lessons atall?

[bch1234]

Lovely !!! I have just been out with my dog for a walk, in 2 degrees, and very windy. I am freezing ....But after hearing this, it feels like summer, relaxing in our boat with the sun shining and shining and shining and . . . . . . . :)

Thank you :)

Smile from Anne Mari

[AndanteLargo]

Hi Anne Mari!

Takk. It's kind of cold here too. This morning the grass was white with ice... brrr.

Smile back to you.

Per-Olov

[KlodeB92]

If I get you right ,'her wish is your command' . So it is with most of us ,guys : ) Anyway your composition is extremely relaxing .I enjoyed every minute of it .Bravo !

best regards from Paris .Claude

[AndanteLargo]

Merci Claude. Ahh how I miss Paris.. (in the springtime)

Yeah, we guys are all subjects to the 'strong female' wishes... sigh...

Per-Olov

[Vreci]

Today your CD reached Geboltskirchen!

Marie sent some greetings - so nice !!

Yes, very relaxing song !

I need that after having so much hours in school!

Thanks my dear friend,

Wolfgang

[AndanteLargo]

Hi there my handsome friend. I am so happy it already arrived! Now you can listen to me ALL THE TIME AND EVERYWHERE! I am so happy for you! :-)

Well, since I couldn't sign the CD, she must have thought you needed a greeting from her. That is better too!

See you in ... Germany OR Geboltskirchen OR Sweden...

Per-Olov

Mhmm ... sigh ... so beautiful ...mhmmm!

[AndanteLargo]

... mmmm thanks Crystal.

Per-Olov

[BocaFriend]

Greetings, Peo -- And my deepest compliments on the

very coolest piece I have heard you play! What an

absolute jewel of cool, in fact. And it is far too elegant

and sophisticated a piece to be saddled with a kitschy

title with the word 'groovy' in it. Your Marie saved the

day there! How I wish this could be an mp3 purchase!

Warm regards from temporarily 'cool' SoFL, ~Terry

[AndanteLargo]

Hi Terry! It is easy to make a 'cool' piece in this cold climate! :-) Yeah, Marie said it was kind of cool there too. But we have almost freezing temps here... brrr.. Marie thinks it is cold when it is below 70F.

I might offer this a s mp3 on my shop.good idea!

All the best,

Per-Olov

[lurchthing]

Love the way you play in fact i have played this twice back 2 back.Your music is like a ray of sunshine to the soul

[AndanteLargo]

:-) Thank you! I am happy you listened twice!

Kind regards,

Per-Olov

[perryhovermale]

Such a great melody Per.

[AndanteLargo]

Thank you! Appreciated.

Per-Olov

[practicing4]

I love all your arrangements and ALWAYS your Marie shines through. Your music, arrangements, playing, guitars, and emotional energy are in perfect harmony and outstanding presentation. You are a incredible musician and person! Blessings, to you and Marie, always. min :-)

[AndanteLargo]

Hi there my fiend!

Thank you so much. Blessings back to you and yours.

Per-Olov

[Elwink]

Why does YT not have a replay button? A different composition, I like it a lot, thank you!

[AndanteLargo]

Hi Elwin,

Thanks a lot! Glad you liked it! Let me know when you have the channel up and running... :-)

Per-olov

[amccann7]

What a great groove in this comp of yours. Beautiful playing; very clear and sonorous

[AndanteLargo]

Thanks a lot!

Kindly,

Per-Olov

[franielee38]

Very relaxing composition! You could play it for hours! I love it!

[AndanteLargo]

Hi my friend.

Thank you!

All the best,

Per-Olov

[LillyC68]

I could imagine listening to this

tune sitting in a bar at a beach in the evening with a smooth breeze blowing... very cool indeed. :)

see you,

Lilly

[AndanteLargo]

Great image there Lilly! Love it!

I'll be there. Drinks on me!

Per-olov

[keisadiya]

Beautiful, good sir.

[nylonguitar]

Oh yeah!... I like this one Per-Olov. Smooth :) Thank you for the music my friend...Steve

[AndanteLargo]

Hi Steve! Thank you my friend.

Did you get my message?

All the best,

Per-Olov

[eltrentoro]

that's p. cool man

i'd be afraid to tap my fingerboard like that, though, wouldn't want my nails to break...

[AndanteLargo]

:-) thanks... I don't tap it that hard...

no problem...

See you,

Per-Olov

[BrotherMorris]

Fantastic! Do you ever get over our way in Eastern Europe? Namely, the Brasov area in Romania? A blessed evening to you... Phil. 4:13

[AndanteLargo]

Thank you! No, I have never been in Romania. I hope some day!!

Greetings from Sweden.

Per-olov

[colchicmu]

Wo nice piece mr kindgren. Almost like an improvisation.

[ICharmaine]

Sounds like a day off of feeling groovy! Nice :)

[esurfer26]

It is beautiful from the quietness.

[porsche217]

Dear Peo,

the title is not the main target in music although it can express any theme. Its up to the composer to name his song but is as lovely to talk about with another ( beloved ) person about. You have to add another line in additional informations apart of guitar and strings: Title edit: Marie and her composer ... ;-))

Love to both of you

Bernd

[Solemgoodbye]

A certain person as in marie, and we as in her. as i told you before, shes a slavedriver slavedriver. :P

[AndanteLargo]

Hi. No, she is not :-) But she is great with titles and I respect and listen to her very much. I would say we are a great team.

Per-Olov

[sguitar]

Hey Peo,

totally right for a relax evening... We have rain and grey clouds not a blue sky like you :-D Maybe you can send us some better weather from Sweden!!!

I like it... Of course very cool playing!! Have a nice evening and a hug Sarah :-)

[AndanteLargo]

Good evening Sarah! Well, with the blue sky comes low temperatures... we have 5C here. Do you still want it? OK, I will send all the sun to you for tomorrow.

Have a great week my dear!

Per-Olov

[sguitar]

@AndanteLargo

Cold is not a problem for me... I love it!!! I am looking forward to see the sun tomorrow after days of rain :-D

[AndanteLargo]

Hi dear Sarah,

Any sun yet?

I sent it yesterday. I hope it arrived to you :-)

Love,

Peo

[sguitar]

@AndanteLargo

Hey dear Peo,

thanks for trying it.... From time to time the sun looks through the clouds and the rain stops!! Have a nice afternoon!! Hug Sarah :-)

[OuelletteGTR]

Hey Sarah! isn't this a great tune?

[sguitar]

@OuelletteGTR

Hey Scott,

it really is... Nice to hear from you!! Are you fine?? :-)

[23462252]

Very relaxing song ,you do a great job as always ,Congratulation!!!!!!!

[AndanteLargo]

Thank you for listening and relaxing... :-)

Per-Olov

[gitarrenmusic]

Hi Per-Olov

A beautiful piece you have composed,

I like it very much! I love your way

playing guitar, you have my full respect!

Best wishes!

Rafael

[AndanteLargo]

Hi Rafael,

Thank you. I am honored!

All the best,

Per-Olov

[toilabuiducanh]

Where is your old guitar now sir?

Great job again btw!

[AndanteLargo]

Thanks a lot! It is standing here waiting to be played. Maybe I will sell it soon. Don't know right now. It is still one of the best guitars in the world.

Per-Olov

[toilabuiducanh]

@AndanteLargo Oh I thought you loved it so much :( You even said "Well, it's not for sale" before. Is the new one better?

[AndanteLargo]

I do love my Jean-Mairet. I don't want to part with it but I might have to. I maybe cannot afford to keep both. The Per Hallgren needs to mature but when it is, It might be as good or better. This is the first guitar I have tried that sounds good as new! My old one, took almost 10 years to mature. Maybe that is why it is so good now...

[LTDdr0pde4d]

This is awesome.

[AndanteLargo]

Thank you so much! Appreciated.

Kindly,

Per-Olov
