Caleb Meyer - Gillian Welch & David Rawlings

Wish I had a fraction of the talented David Rawlings guitar-skills.

To the Mountains

A new day, a new hike!

Today the weather was really nice. 14C and sunny, so I thought to myself that instead of going on a biketrip, I`d better hike up a mountain.
Not to worry, I won`t make a habit of it, but it is really good exercise.


Summit!

















Ørsta













When I got back to the car I turned on the radio, and the song that was being played was "To the Mountains" by Bigbang! What are the odds!!!!

Today is also summit-day for Karsten Holstad, one of my dads friends who is in Nepal trying to climb Mt. Everest.

Good luck Karsten!

Lidaveten

On Fri. evening I hiked up Lidaveten with a colleague and a friend of his.



Great scenery and fantastic view. On the descent the temperature dropped to 2°C so it was freezing.



My shape is still nearly non-existing, but I hope it will improve during the summer.

G.A.S.

Why is it that I come down with GAS (guitar acquisition syndrome) when my economy is rock bottom ?!?!?!



Too bad the price-tag is about the same as a new car would cost me :(

Maybe I should consider a custom-build from a luthier..but then again, it takes seriously forever to get on the short-list with the best luthiers today.

Decisions, decisions, decisions.....

Health challenge

Last week I received a health challenge from family in the US. This challenge was just what I needed to keep my motivation going!! 20 miles on my bike on Sat. in freezing rain, so it`s all about determination I guess :) I`ve cut down on the pop (Sunday only..soccer night) and the sugar, so I hope to lose a few pounds.

Recommended movie - Bridge to Terabithia

If you haven`t seen "Bridge to Terabithia", I can highly recommend it.

I really liked the fascinating story, the charm and the skill of the actors. The music was good. And not least, I am grateful that it did not turn into a cheesy Narnia rip-off.

It made my day!

Fields of Gold

You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Among the fields of barley
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in fields of gold

So she took her love for to gaze awhile
Among the fields of barley
In his arms she fell as her hair came down
Among the fields of gold

Will you stay with me will you be my love
Among the fields of barley
And you can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in fields of gold

I never made promises lightly
And there have been some that I've broken
But I swear in the days still left
We will walk in fields of gold
We'll walk in fields of gold

I never made promises lightly
And there have been some that I've broken
But I swear in the days still left
We will walk in fields of gold
We'll walk in fields of gold

Many years have passed since those summer days
Among the fields of barley
See the children run as the sun goes down
As you lie in fields of gold

You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Among the fields of barley
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in fields of gold
When we walked in fields of gold
When we walked in fields of gold
