The story of a (mobile) ceramic fountain that crossed the Atlantic twice....

It was created by Gunnar Nylund at Rörstrand and aimed for the company's exhibition at the National Museum in Stockholm 1943, while the permanent exhibition was evacuated due to World War II.

The fountain landed later at the NK Department Store in Stockholm between 1944-45, and then back to Rörstrands headquarters in Lidköping.

Later it was sold to Grand Centralhotellet in Gävle and stayed there in the "winter garden", until a fire destroyed part of the hotel in the late 1960s. It was then stored for some years. Sold to a farmer in Iowa during the year of 1972 and assembled with Portland cement (!) at his farm in 1980.

Partially destroyed in a few decades by a severe climate in North America.

Back to Lidköping in 2008….in a very bad shape.

Restored 2014....and on exhibition at Rörstrands Museum.

Graveyard at Liseberg....

Graveyard carries the influences of Zeppelin, Purple and definitely the melodic ability of Rainbow. Some songs are really good, especially when the band makes big rhythmic changes, which makes the most epic moments of the concert. Unfortunately, there are no bigger audiences for this kind of music any more.

Até sempre Carlos

Bullerö, 23-7-2014

Cantava, em uma voz muito suave, uma canção de pais longínquo. A música tornava familiares as palavras incógnitas. Parecia o fado para a alma, mas não tinha com ele semelhança alguma. A canção dizia, pelas palavras veladas e a melodia humana, coisas que estão na alma de todos e que ninguém conhece.

Bob Dylan at Trädgårdsföreningen....

Trädgårdsföreningen, August, 15

Bob Dylan 2014 is a "slow train coming" behind the piano. Many of the songs are recognizable by the lyrics....and the music is a tool for a changed voice, with a lack of energy. Dylan shines through the closer he gets to the blues....here he knows his lesson, and the band does an excellent job. Best in show: "Blowin` in the wind"

A little note about the five kids sitting in front of me with Dylan T-shirts and continually with concentration on their smartphones..
