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.

Story behind the song
Our master lyricist Dawn Sinclair listened to the instrumental version of this song, and said: ”I think, I know the right man to write lyrics for this song.” … and connected me with Anton in Australia. The lyrics are supposed to be Anton´s first attempt as lyricist. Hard to believe, when you listen to the result! Burnin Sven sings with his usual intensity.
Lyrics
Those Old-fashioned Days Lyrics Anton Henricksen – Music Master Peo Those old fashioned days with their good old fashioned ways bringing back sweet history for meeeeeeee battered horns and tattered cases smiling eyes and ageless faces playing it, the way it oughtta beeeee that music hanging in the air revives those feelings oh so rare unlocking things from deep inside of meee songs sung in old time places where the years have left no traces and each one with its special melodyyyy HORN SOLO When I look back at all those dog-eared old photographs the memories, they're just like yesterdayyy all the fun and good times we had to-geth-er when all we did was sit around and playyy Those tunes they are so sweet they make you wanna tap your feet, belting out so loud reminders of that swinging crowd, We'd play that music loud and strong most times the crowd would sing along and yessiree, that was how it used to beeeee HORN SOLO Yes those old fashioned days and their won-der-ful old fashioned ways reminders of that swinging crowd their voices singing out so loud we'd play that music all night long most times they all would sing along I'm tellin you, that is how it used to beee oh yeahhh !
