We are back in New York. The drive from Palm Springs to the airport took three hours, but we were never bored as Björk’s little daughter kept offering us snacks. And we listened to a cd of Kardimommubærinn, a popular play for children that is also hilarious for adults. It is about the peaceful town of Kardemomme and three robbers, Casper, Jasper and Jonathan who live just outside it. They regularly steal things, but when they kidnap aunt Soffia they take on more than they can handle as she seizes control and begins to teach them proper manners. In the end the robbers are arrested, but decent treatment in the jail by the kindly constable Bastian changes them into good persons, and in the final chapter they become the hero of the day when they extinguish the fire in the tower of the town.
I’m going to rest today, but tomorrow I’ll start preparing for Radio City. We will have no rehearsals (except the soundcheck) and I guess I’ll only find out what songs we are performing the day before the show.

oh, i remember the theme song of Kasper og Jesper og Joooonatan, from when i was a kid. wow, that brought me back a few decades. oh! the tv show had these puppets… and a car. she should also look into “Karius & Baktus”, and “Loranga, Mazarin & Dartanjang” for more of of that groovy late-70’s-early-80’s things. ah, i wish i’d had the chance to say hi to you in person when i was at the Reykjavik gig, you are doing such a smashing job with this blog. might swing by a later gig. kveðja // lína… lángsokkur

One day you will be able to teleport from city to city. And you will play piano by telekinesis.
