@@bosonbreeder To me, the version in the link is like a beautiful painting someone has buried in manure - mostly it stinks, but you can discern tiny glimpses of the buried beauty. Linus' version is so clear it lets the melody sing for itself...
@@fredjones100 Well, this version is from the late 60's and by famous Swedish jazz pianist Jan Johansson, who jazzed it up a bit in the beginning for fun. Just fast forward to the second half for a more traditional touch. The traditional, original song was written in 1822 and the melody is normally carried by a singer. A tribute to the beauty of the Swedish Värmland region in the middle of Sweden.
@@fredjones100 I don't agree, but the comparison was funny. Anyway, the song has been recorded by other jazz musicians too, including Stan Getz, Miles Davis, Paul Chambers and John Coltrane (there is some information about the song on Wikipedia, its English name is for some weird reason Dear Old Stockholm).
I've been following you since the very first chipophone video, and I absolutely adore the instruments you make, and the crazy tunes you play with them. It's so fun to see you keep finding new uses for old commodores!
Great to see you working on the instrument to keep it playable! But does it mean it no longer has the chords and rhythm box functionalities of the left hand side?
