He was the talented kid of the community, only the talents were too many. He didn..'t have the time nor the energy to develop them all..soo..he gave them up. All but one. He just wasn..'t aware of that at the time. Or for the next twenty odd years. And then again. That precious gift needed all that time to be compounded and moulded and crushed with all the life-experience and pain he could possibly come across.

He moved to the capital of Sweden at the age of twenty and for a couple of years the sky seemed to be the limit. Gravity, wild women and reckless living took it's toll eventually. And the record contract slipped out of his hands. Even back then he was a little bit too careful what to sign. And the next day it vanished in a puff of ironic circumstantial smoke...

The hand of the Lord has been heavy on him ever since.
