Sonia Sahlstr\u00f6m played a recording for us in nyckelharpa\/fiddle class of Eric Sahlstr\u00f6m on the radio where he was talking with someone and playing in an impromptu way as he would at home. His conversation with full of laughter and fun, and his music\u00a0was very playful and fast and brilliant. He even played \u201cSomewhere over the rainbow\u201d!<\/p>\n

Sonia Sahlstr\u00f6m also described to us how there was a steady stream of fiddlers and nyckelharpa players coming to the house to play with her father. They all loved to play with him, as he was very kind and made them feel very good about it. Some people who are great technical musicians make those around them feel that they never want to play again by comparison. But Eric Sahlstr\u00f6m was very kind and he made those playing with him feel good about playing too. He made it fun, with a philosophy and practice of laughing at mistakes and then you go on.<\/p>\n

It was very inspiring and I think his daughter\u00a0Sonia Sahlstr\u00f6m embodies those characteristics too.<\/p>\n
