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
Once Upon A Time Lyrics Anton Henricksen – Music Master Peo Intro Verse 1 (0:16) Once upon a time, in a fairytale life no famine, no violence, a world free from strife and we sang and we danced, all our worries were gone life was calm, our peace was sublime Verse 2 (0:41) When we were young, we'd play in the park and nobody would mind, if we stayed until dark a freedom for all, of which some only dreamed life was safe...at least so it seemed Chorus (1:05) Once upon a time there was no hatred, no war young soldiers didn't die for political cause, no heartaches from loss, no graves to be dug life was sweet...once upon a time Verse 3 (1:30) Children soon grow, those days left behind them they see good and bad now, they're no longer blind if we could go back, I'm sure sometimes we would life was good, once upon a time Instrumental solo (1:55) Outtro (2:20) Once upon a time, in that fairytale life no famine, no violence, a world free from strife and if we could go back, I'm sure sometimes we would life was good, once upon a time ......
