about

A new marvellous duo record from Raymond Strid and me. The banjo gets extra attention on this one. It was given to me several years ago by Raymond who used it as a part of his drumset in the late 80’s/early 90’s (it can be heard on “Tjo och Tjim” by GUSH and Sven Åke Johansson, for instance). Originally this banjo (of the brand Nilmus) was given to him as a Christmas present by his grandfather when he was a child.

On this occasion Raymond had brewed a delicious Schwarzbier, which is an anomally from his usual specialities of Lagers and Ales. You can hear the influence of this beer on the last track, as it was starting to kick in.
