  • The instrument is a nyckelharpa and the song is 'Gammelkäring', a traditional in the style of Hanne Kjersti Yndestad. The nyckelharpa pieces are partly written by me and partly inspired by Folk och Rackare. I filmed by a lake in Northern Denmark and the mist was hanging heavily after the rain.

      @@maestromarket Actually, that’s not entirely true. It’s a misconception that Norway was poor before they found oil. In 1950, Norway was right below average amongst the 16 richest OECD countries. Hard to know how Norway would be today without the oil, but the odds weren’t low before Norway had oil. Also, it’s pretty cool for Norwegians that they can claim the origin of Vikings, just as a historical bonus.😄
