I completed my Big Silver medal in 2015,\u00a0so I wasn’t going to Sweden for summer dance testing. We needed an event to bring us over to Sweden that summer, so\u00a0my boyfriend Ted and I decided to participate in the spelmansst\u00e4mma in Furudals Bruk. Once we began making inquiries, everything fell beautifully into place. Chris welcomed and invited us to join an “American Spelmanslag” including him and\u00a0Carol Olson, Peter Michaelsen. Paul Johnson, Barbara Cameron, Mark Williamson (bass), Mike Palmer, Erica Ross, Marilee Mansfield (nyckelharpa), Janet Gabites. Chris sent a Dropbox link with notated tunes and mp3 files for a set of 13 tunes so we could practice. They were wonderful tunes and I enjoyed adding them to my repertoire, and the fact that I already knew several. It was interesting that although we did not know each other, we each knew Peter Michaelson, and we came together to form a wonderful group to play for a dance.<\/p>\n
