Im back from Poland! I've had the most fantastic time ever! Its unbelievable!

I travelled to Krakow on Tuesday this week. I met up with some other close friends of Eddie at the airport. We stayed at the same hotel.
Got to the hotel, got out for dinner - ate at a restaurant called "Nostalgia" of all things.. hehe (one of the tracks from "Zinc" is called "Nostalgia").
Then it was time for the gig. I got in. Got to meet Eddie's sister, Anne. A really nice lady :) She reserved some seats for us.

Im in shock.. thanks to Eddie Jobson!

Eddie Jobson is a generous man.. that's for sure :)


Here's the story:
A few days ago I received an email from Globe Music - Eddie Jobsons record-company that Eddie has seen my drawing and that he LOVES it and want to use it as t-shirt designs for the three upcoming concerts in Poland in November.

Duncan Browne is underrated!

He deserves more attention!

Any fans here??

For those who don't know who he is look here: http://www.insyncnet.com/duncan/

I must say that he, along with Steve Hackett, Ant Phillips, Andrew Latimer and Jimmy Page is the reason why I play guitar.. I love his music :)
There are some videos on Youtube - be sure to check them out!

Duncan died in 1993 from lung cancer.. RIP Duncan..

Love Gentle Giant...they were kind of ahead of their time in terms of composition...just like my brothers band, Ars Nova. You love Bill Bruford, I Mitch Mitchell. I too play drums and have seen both perform.....both great players.
I used to play in a country-rock band that toured Oslo all the time...we played at the Gamle Christiana...wonder if that club is still there.... Hmmmm

I got a lot of friends in nordic countries (I have a side project, still didn't start, with a guy from finland and a danish) and I like prog metal so I started to know deeper norway, finland, sweden. I chosen Møre og Romsdal because it's savage. I know it's civilized area :-D I say "savage" referring to the angular nature, with all that fijords and green fighting with the stone. It inspired me a chill, angular prog/math song. Hope one day I will have the money to being there and listen my song with its real environment.
