Video recorded

We’ve spent all day recording the video for “As summers pass”. Here’s som pics of me in one of my video outfits. The extraordinary dress is designed and sewn by Sanna Nyström. I love the big bow on the shoulder, it makes me look like a doll 😀

Sofia Talvik + Kenny = True

I’ve been listening to The Killers album Sawdust. It’s an album of b-sides and covers. They made a great version of an old Kenny Rogers song called Ruby.

I found the original song and the video of Kenny Rogers performing it on www.youtube.com.

Watch and listen to it here and then download or listen to my soft mellow version.
KENNY ROGERS ROCKS!
