Historien Hva kan jeg fortelle deg om meg som kan være interessant å vite ..hmmm. ”I was born in Oslo 19..”eh …kanskje å gå litt vel langt tilbake i tid? La oss korte det hele ned. 1993: Som vokalist og låtskriver i bandet ”Fancy Feet”, var jeg med på å erobre 3. plassen i Oslo finalen til NM i Rock. Vi hadde mange live opptredener etter dette ( og mye morro), men ikke noe omtale i media av den grunn. Ingen som kom viftende med en feit platekontrakt heller. Etter noen år var det kroken på døra (vi hadde da til og med skiftet navn til ”Total Power” uten at det hjalp nevneverdig). I 1997 så min første CD (som soloartist) dagens lys. Og en runde til plateselskapene sto for tur. Men da interessen heller var laber, pakket jeg snippesekken, sluttet på jobben, tok gitaren på ryggen og dro til AMERIKA. Første stopp var Venice Beach. Her traff jeg noen greie folk, så jeg bestemte meg for å gjøre dette til min hovedbase. Med utsikt, fra vinduet på rommet, over the Pacific Ocean og solnedgangen, ble slagplanen lagt. Jeg skulle legge landet under mine føtter. Etter en lengre periode i California (Los Angeles, San Diego, Ventura mm.) og Las Vegas, var pengesekken tom og returen til gamle landet var ett nødvendig onde. Mine dager i The Promised Land var over. Men noen utrolige minner tok jeg heldigvis med meg. Disse er altfor mange til å beskrive her, så vi lar det være til en annen gang (noen bilder er lagt ut på gallerisiden). Jeg må likevel fortelle hvor stor min respekt er overfor alle de jeg traff der borte, og deres enorme pågangsmot og vilje til å lykkes. Det er et rotterace uten like, fra tidlig om morgenen til langt ut i de lyse timer (24-7). I 2003 ble jeg kontaktet av NRK for å være med i Kjempesjansen. Dette takket jeg selvsagt ja til, og resten er (som det sies) historie. Jeg ble dessverre syk i perioden etterpå (dette var ikke NRK sin skyld..he..he..) derfor fikk jeg ikke fulgt opp slik jeg hadde håpet. Det tok over ett år å hente meg inn. Vel...nok om det. Jeg har under den tiden som har gått utviklet meg som låtskriver ( norske og engelske tekster). Har nå endelig funnet min stil, som best beskrives som : Rocka pop ispedd litt Folkemusikk, samt en del alternative vendinger med en god porsjon humor og galskap. Nå vet du litt om meg. Takk for at du tok deg tid. WB.	Musikken	tilbake til toppen

Get Down

Get down Get down Get down Get down I wrote this song just to say what I mean and if I say what I mean I can’t go wrong Get down Get down Get down Get down
If I’m to old then your to young and if your to young am gone Get down Get down Get down Get down I work all day until late at night call me in the morning
to see if I’m alive The birds are all singing they’re up in the trees while I’m hardly breathing I’m down on my knees All I wanna do sing this song for you and if you got the time
please blow my mind This time tomorrow recon where I’ll be playing my guitar and singing or maybe hanging from a grand old tree Get down Get down Get down Get down

Oh my God..

Woke up this morning, a voice in my head, someone was screaming your better off dead Woke up this morning a gun in my hand blood on the carpet and a woman in my bed
Oh my God, the bitch is dead Someone is coming steps in the hall get yourself together away from it allOut and I’m running down in the streets everyone is staring everyone
I meet Down on the corner behind the drug store up on the ladder to the second floor I’ll crash on your sofa just for a while I’ll write you a letter just to say goodbye Someone
is coming,someone is coming someone is coming and I got to fly Someone is coming someone is coming someone is coming and I got to fly I got to fly Oh my God the bitch is dead

Call on me

Come on now let’s get out of here,nothing left for you and me we’ve all been through that life has no guaranties Don’t know if I’m ready yet I don’t know are you sure?
No time for slowing down now start the engine turn the key If you don’t know where to go and you sure don’t know what to do? Call on me my friend I will set you free
Call on me my friend I will set you free Come on know let’s get out of here, I can hear the dogs howl, they’re thirsty for blood now, there masters shouting loudThe sound of war
is closing, ain`t no time for regrets, grab your coat and follow me, let the past stay the past If you don’t know where to go and you sure don’t know what to do?
In the darkest jungle, in the heat of the night, they’re getting ready to rumble, someone will loose this fight Place your bets and get out of there, no where you can hide, I got a ticket for
a jailbreak, and the moon looks misty tonight If you don’t know where to go and you sure don’t know what to do? (he ha ho ha)

Yippikayey

’ll take the world off my shoulders as they carry me away, down that old longsome alley up the hills down to the bay, When the sun rises tomorrow, you’ll see far away, a sign up in
heaven saying yippikayey at the end of the day I did it my way I’ll take the world off my shoulders as they carry me away, down that old longsome alley up the hills down to the bay,
When the sun rises tomorrow, you’ll see far away, a sign up in heaven saying yippikayey at the end of the day I did it my way (that’s right) Well I’ve been sailing on the oceans I’ve
been swimming in the sea, I’ve been flying above the mountains down the valleys and over the trees, so When the sun rises tomorrow, you’ll see far away, a sign up in heaven saying
yippikayey at the end of the day I did it my way So when I leave you all behind and when the crowd has gone away, I’ll be safe up in heaven I’ll ride a cloud and I will play, and When
the sun rises tomorrow, you’ll see far away, a sign up in heaven saying yippikayey at the end of the day I did it my way At the end of the day I did it my way At the end of the day
…….. heh…. Yippikayey
