Ernst Rolf from the same recordingtime as my previous video. Vägen som går dit är lång lång lång (The way to go is far far far)is written by the Swedish composer Sören Aspelin (1906-1973). He was employed as the secretary of Rolf, but in his contract was added that he every month had to write two songs for Rolf.After the death of Rolf he continued to write music and did, actually, some recordings as singer, but in my opinion, he was better as a composer.
The recording is done in Berlin.It was'nt uncommon that Swedish artists did that during the late twenties and the early therties, because the electrical recordings which were possble to do in Sweden did'nt had same quality as the germans. The equipments in Sweden was simply too bad.
In the swedish text is several celebrities from the time mentioned, some of them are also possible to view in the clip.I think the most people, knows Greta Garbo. But maybe not, Auguste Piccard, which was a wellknown scientist and at that time he worked with a balloon, which he believed could go up to the space. Later, he was, some sort of model for Hergé, when he when he wanted to create a scientist in his comics. Jimmy Walker (not at photo)was the mayor of London, during the economically unstable period at the end of twenties and Al Capone the gangster from Chicago, who just had been sentenced to eleven years in prison.
