Jazz, Dixieland, Swing and Sweet ...
Started out playing clarinet and soprano-saxophone in different dixielandbands in Uppsala and Stockholm, Sweden, in the 50ies, when I went to college. After that occasionally touring northen Sweden playing swing-based dancemusic a la Benny Goodman for a couple of years, when I studied at the university in Uppsala. After that more or less musically "silent" for more than 25 years concentrating on family and work. In the mid 90ies I seriously took up music-making again and I have bit by bit build up a computer-based homestudio - primarily for my own entertainment and without any intention to make my work public. My music is purely synthetic. My instruments and musicians normally only exist as voices in computers and synthesizers. As I am to a certain extent still playing the old standard jazz-tunes, I try to give my recordings an acoustic blend. My goal is to create the impression of real musicians playing together on real instruments in a realistic accoustic environment.

Lyrics
Vera Words: Dawn Sinclair, Music: His Masters Choice Vocalist: Vonee Rose As the orchestra plays, I can hear my heart throbbing then my feet tap a beat as I reach for the mike there's a million songs... I'd love to sing if notes are aligning with lyrical timing I could croon a sweet tune in the style of Miss Ella maybe “Don't Fence Me In” or “Begin the Beguine” But I’d never aspire to anything higher than our own Vera Lynn chorus When she sang the song “We’ll Meet Again” all the soldiers had tears in their eyes and they joined in to sing “Bless ‘Em All” as they parted from loved ones with their goodbyes I could sing from the heart... like dear Dinah or Judy maybe “Bidin’ My Time”, maybe “I’ll Walk Alone” but the songs of our Vera feel oh so much dearer singing our soldiers home Solo If I sing the song "We’ll Meet Again Don´t know where and I don´t know just when" will they join in with tears in their eyes show our Vera... our love for her never dies If I stood on the stage like our beautiful Vera Would “The White Cliffs of Dover” sound as sweet to them then Would you “Wish Me Goodluck As You Wave Me Goodbye” “When the Lights go on again”
