For a long long time I have been meaning to give you more information on what I am doing and how things went and so on. I don’t know if this is called bloging or whatever, and I don’t know in which form this will get to you. I leave it all in the hands of my dear friend and a "master" webmaster Ranja. She is the one that makes it possible for me to be in contact with you on the Net. I know absolutely nothing about computers or internet, but I do know the alphabet, so there is no excuse for me not to write, when Ranja takes care of the rest!!! I am not gonna dwell on the past so much, but I can tell you that 2008 has been a busy year so far. But now I have quite an easy period ahead of me before all hell breaks lose during spring and summer.

I am going to use the coming weeks to improve my guitar-playing with help from Kim, the guitarist in Magic Pie. Joining Magic Pie involves a lot of guitar work from me, and in fact some keyboards too. It is a task that I look forward to, but it is something new and demanding for me. You see, I have never taken lessons from anyone. What I know on guitar and keyboards are just things I have picked up myself, and the singing is just something that was given to me from my birth. 'Cause you see, there is no fun in just doing things you can get through with your eyes closed. So I am going to dig into this with my eyes wide open, laugh at my failures and become a better musician with a grin on my face!

Magic Pie is a band for the future and I have great hopes for us. There is not gonna be so much playing this year, but we are going to put together songs for a new CD that we will probably start recording this autumn, to be released sometimes next year.

My work with Ken Hensley and Live Fire continues, and me and Ken have become close friends. I visited him twice in February on his "Farm" in Alicante. We recorded a new song for a "give-away" CD that is going to be released by "Sweden Rock Festival" at the opening there on June 5th. The song is titled "Fill your head with Rock".

Apart from these two main projects of mine I will always be doing all kind of crazy things, and I will tell you all about them when the time comes.

And of course my friends, if you have any questions for me, I will try my best to answer each and every one of them. So many of you have been so loyal and caring for me, and I feel it is payback time...

I love you all and look forward to chat with you...

More to come, - best wishes to all of you, - Cheerz... Eiríkur
