Of Scandinavian Decent

Like so many Minnesotans, I am of Scandinavian decent.  Mom was Swedish.  Dad was Norwegian.

Let's take a minute and enjoy some music from the famed voices of Norway and Sweden.

Sissel Kyrkebø (Kirk-a-bee) took Norway by storm.  She is one of the best living sopranos.  Her name would be Cecelia in America.  She has two daughters, Ingrid and Sarah.


Here are two songs from our Norwegian soprano:

Sissel - You Raise Me Up - Best Version of 'You Raise Me Up' On YouTube - YouTube

Sissel - You Were Always on My Mind - YouTube


ABBA swept Sweden, then the world by storm.  Enjoy.

ABBA Chiquitita - (Live Switzerland '79) Deluxe edition Audio HD - YouTube

Abba - Dancing Queen - YouTube

In just over a month we head for Minnesota, and Lake Minnewaska, for the summer.  Yeah.
