A lot of them there fans out there go weak at the knees when I mention the word “Sweden”. It makes them swoon over the joyful(?) music that is Schlager. Even if Sweden hasn’t always sent Schlager. It makes them think of certain performers like Charlotte Pirelli-Calendar or Carola Eggwhisk. Even if Sweden hasn’t always sent either of them. It makes them think of winning our favourite TV show, even if there has been the odd year when Sweden hasn’t won our favourite TV show. And to confirm this, here’s a Swedish rocker. It’s OK, he’s a good friend of that popular beat combo called Abba. And he’s made a record with Agnetha Fältskog. Impressed? Well you should be with Tomas Folke Jonas Ledin. Tomas is 64 today.
Grattis på födelsedagen, Tomas!
