Today Mikael and I played two songs for the Webmagazine Digfi.com
A short interview in Swedish was also done.
I sang and played guitar, Mikael played keyboard and glockenspiel.
The songs were "The Sun Is Gonna Shine On You And Me" + "It's Summer Again" to celebrate midsummer here in Sweden. The session will be posted within three weeks. It was actually the first time ever that we played together "live" and it felt really cool. The first time ever "gig" for The Charade (minus Ingela though). We'll let you know when it's time to visit www.digfi.com
