Over the Rainbow played in Piteå
last Thursday! So wonderful to see them and hear all these great
Rainbow-songs! Magic. And so great to finally meet the great
Bobby Rondinelli
and shake his hand. He is a great and cool guy and I hope to meet
him again and also hope to work with him again one day. Thanks,
Bobby, for everything and for being so kind and great! Joe
Lynn Turner and Paul Morris
were great, too. Thanks, Joe, for the talk about Ronnie, your songs
and for being so kind and great! Thanks, Paul, for being so great
and funny - guess you will not try "snus" again? :) Also
thanks to my friends Claes
Isacson, Andreas
Fors and Stig
Vikström who also made this evening
great! And Thanks to Piteå
Dansar och Ler Festival, for bringing Over the
Rainbow to Piteå! Also thanks to Ros-Marie,
who were so great, kind and helpful to us in the vip-room! Thanks
again, Over the Rainbow! Hope you will return to Piteå again
one day!

Back to the roots: last Saturday, 12:th of September, a few members
from the old band Steel "re-united" and jammed
some old songs from the 80's. Thanks, Claes
& Mikael, for this great
jam! It was back to "when it all started" (see the pics
in History) and it was great fun playing
these old songs again. And who knows, maybe Steel will record some
new songs as well soon :)
