I don't usually share blogs beyond my Harmonica School, but I am making this one exception for the release of the only live recording of me and the great Jethro Burns. Recently, I discovered a cassette in my attic of my first concert with  Jethro in 1983- billed as "Super Session of Swing", and indeed it was! If you're not familiar with Jethro and his music, look up Homer and Jethro for starters.

He was a brilliant mandolinist, incredible comedian, and major influence on many great mandolin players. The cassette sounded surprisingly good, the guitarist and bassist were both dynamite, and the music was fresh and full of spontaneous energy-  I HAD to put it out. I also included all of Jethro's hilarious spoken intros as separate tracks, and the CD cover has the only known photo of the two of us together. 

Hoping that this joyous music will lift your spirits in these troubled times.

Hey,

I'm happy to announce the new Christmas EP "Christmas Dream" by popular Swedish singer Andreas Weise.

I co-wrote all 4 songs together with Fredrik Hult and Dan Sundquist. The style is swing and American 50's music and on this album I play both guitar and piano + singing the background vocals together with the others.

I have two guitar solos, on "Holiday Honeymoon" and "Christmas Dream". Check it out and get into that Christmas spirit!

 
Regards Andreas
