Well my dears... Guess you know me well enough by now to not be too surprised that I am a week after my schedule!?  But here I am - and in fact I should be, at this very moment, in Minsk preparing a concert.  That thing was cancelled on Friday - just a day before our flight. This is in fact the third time these promoters let us down,- and it is the last time of course. I can live with the disappointment and I am not in need of that money either, but I just feel so sorry for the fans. And unfortunately there are alway some people that automatically blame the bands, when there is a cancellation. It´s a shitty business I live in but... I will stick to it I guess.

There is so much to look forward to in the future, but let me first tell you about what is not gonna happen. Sorry to say, this thing I had going with my friend Trond Holter (Teeny) never really got started. We did one gig and recorded one song (wich I guess will now be on Wig-Wam´s next CD). After that nothing happened and both Teeny and myself are simply too busy to make this happen. But I am sure I will work with Teeny later,- one way or another. Maybe I will do Backing-vocals for Wig-Wam again, as I did on their 1st CD. Did you guys know that, by the way ???

November 1st.  Shit-shit-shit ! It happened again. As I intended to publish what I had written it just wanished into open air. So I am going to make this short in case I do something wrong. At 06:10 early  tomorrow I am off to Russia. Hope we make it this time for the three scheduled shows in Siberia. Can´t say I look forward to this trip. It is going to be a long journey and I am not too keen on Airoflot Airlines. On the flight from Moskva to Vladivostoc yours truly is going to be dead drunk, a) to perhaps be able to sleep b) not to be aware if something goes wrong.

I have now teamed up with two musicians from Sweden. Mikael Rosengren ( keyboards ) and Fredrik Folkare ( guitar ). Together we have written 12 songs and we will record them as soon as possible, but probably not until January next year. I look very much forward to this and the last weeks have been good to me in the sense that I am back on track, writing melodies and lyrics. I will tell you more about this plus I will give you deatails from Russia after I get back home November 9th. 

Lots of love and all my best to you... Eric
