OK, another try! Thought I had done this a week ago but... it didn´t get published and I certanly did not save anything either. What a jerk!!! Whatever you folks do in your lives - do NEVER - EVER hire me as a secretary! I guess that what I wrote last weekend was such a bullshit that higher authorities simply wiped it out. And therefore you will get a shorter version and after that I can start my week to week connection with you all - my beloved ones.

So far this year I have established my existence as a member of Magic Pie. Kim ( the guitarist ) and I have met a couple of times this week to look at some new ideas/songs. I must tell you that I have very high expectations when it comes to this band and the CD planned to be released in spring 2009.   Mr. Hensley has kept me rather occupied so far and there is more to come. We will have two rounds in Russia and their neighbour countries before the year is over. This is not yet on my gig-list because we are still working with the details. Having Ken with me to Iceland is also something I am very proud of. We did two sold-out shows in Reykjavik and the response was enormous. And when I look back at 2008 so far I see that the population of Iceland has not given up on me - yet.  I have done so many gigs there so far this year, and as a matter of fact I am leaving there tomorrow, once more, to do a show. And that is why I am surpricingly relaxed at home on a Friday afternoon, just chilling out and writing some stuff for you guys.

I will let you in on a big secret. Even though I sometimes feel a teenager I am not. Next year ( fasten your seatbelts ) I will be 50... Oh My God!!! My birthday is on 4th of July and there will be a big concert in Reykjavik on that day. On Sunday I will have a meeting with my manager in Iceland and we will start to organize this event. I will keep everybody informed through my Home-Page and if some of you out there have any plans at all to visit Iceland , ever in your lives, then this could be the opportunity for you. I already know of more than 20 people from my hometown that will take the trip,- go to a very special concert, drink some Brennivin and eat Rotten Shark. Are you tempted already...?

Well I am tempted to try to publish this before it gets too long. Cause if it doesn´t work this time either I will be really pissed off.

Until next time ... Lots of love and best whishes for the weekend
