Musican - Songwriter - Composer (most in Danish) Has got help frome Holly Tashian, to make English words, to few of my songs.
Started to play in a band called The Rocking Sparkplugs in 1965. We played copy music - Beatles - Stones and other popular songs from that time.
In many years I were a boyscout. At the campfire, we played a lot of sing along songs. I also jammed with freinds. In 1982 me and my wife started a band. The music was old Danish folk music. In 1986 we started the group VØB. The group is still excisting. The music we play, are many of our own songs - and also folk music from Scotland - Ireland - USA included Bluegrass.
We couldn`t find a name to the group. But one day our violin player said: Vi Øver bare. - Translated ca. We are just practicing. A cracy name, but when people have heard it. They remember the name. ( Ø = oe)
My 5 strings banjo playing started in 1975. I bought a Framus banjo, which I still have. I learned few chords, and play it, like it was a guitar. 5 years ago, one of my freinds also bought a 5 strings banjo. We bought a Hall Leonard book, and meet one time a week, to practise the Earl Scruggs picking. In 2007 and 2008 I was on the workshop i Norway, at the Risoer Bluegrass Festival. The teacher was Petr Brandejs from Tjekkiet. He learned me a lot.To Nordic Bluegrass players I can really recommend to go there.
Today I play a Goldtone OB 250+
