Malerbakken 11, Holte, Denmark.
My room, my first tape-recorder. Note the hanging liquor bottles in the window. My grandfather had given me the guitar, and he said "After you have learned 3 chords, you can play all the songs in the world". He didn't say how well... |
||||
| It was a grey, rainy world .
An ordinary moment on our schoolyard: Skip-roping on a rainy day. Girls I fell in love with... - where are they now? |

| The music started:
Vocal groups, radio, TV, records, newspapers... Big fish in a small pond. |
|||||||
 |
|||||||
 |
"Quacks" so named because we started out with 2 medical students in the group.
Kirsten Granau, Finn Moller, Michael Bundesen and me. |
||||||
|
Michael Bundesen is now doing heavy rock in the band "Shubi-dua". Later Michael Elo and Ianne Elo became my partners in tours and recordings in Denmark, Germany & Holland. Jan Blaabjerg was in my first group, "Four Quacks", and he was the only one to actually became a doctor. |

 |
Records and albums with Quacks - I loved the sound of voices in tight clusters, and formed several groups (mostly vocal trios). | |||||||
 |
||||||||
 |
||||||||
|
My (sigh) very first record (above) at the age of 17
|

Ten years later I discovered that my title song "Light Blue Bananas", had been included in the Danish state-school song-book, listed "by Anonymous".
In a way, I'm kind of proud of that... |
||||||||
 |
||||||
| An American agent saw the group in Copenhagen and gave us our first gig in New York. It was a big new world, and life would never be the same.
The group split up, but I stayed in America to try for the big time. In Hollywood I recorded 5 albums of film music for Capitol Records, music for Playboy, some TV stuff... |

| Oh, and I wrote and sang the theme-song for a Burt Reynolds film called "Hooper". | ||||||
| Since then, I played and lived in
Los Angeles, met and married Magi (Myggen). We formed WIN/WIN Productions and made an extraordinary series of song recordings (See: Original CDs) and videos on subjects ranging from trekking in Nepal to underwater birthing.
(See Video Archives). Our son, Mikael was born, we moved to Santa Barbara, This is my favorite picture of us together. Joy once lived should always be celebrated.
