Virtuoso? ... me? ...
Sváfnir, the singer and guitarist in Menn Ársins wrote a blog yesterday which made me go all warm and fuzzy inside. Here is a translation:
A Bassfriend says goodbye
Our friend Thorarinn Freysson, who has plucked the bass with the Men from god-knows-when, is moving at the beginning of December. And we're not talking about a quick nip between postcodes - oh, no. He's going to England with his English wife and two children.
It sucks to see such a kind, mild mannered, bass virtuoso and last but not least, a competent seaman who always travelled in the old fashioned way, reading the stars and compasses, none of this GPS-nonsense. Just set off.
But note that Thorarinn hasn't sung his last song with the Menn Ársins. he will be on our team visiting Hafnarfjörður tomorrow, Friday the 17th November, at ... exactly - you got it right: Café Aroma. Now lets all turn out and say goodbye to the lad.
Other than that, things are looking good basswise at the moment. Tell you more about that later.
It brings tears to my eyes. What a great band and what great company. I shall miss them and the music sorely. I hope the bass issues get sorted and they can continue to grow and become the biggest band in the world ... they deserve it!
As for me ... my life consists of filling in job application forms. All a means to a better end, I know ... but blimey! It's sooooo booooooring. Looking forward to the last gig tonight and intend to have a blast. Then we got our going away party tomorrow and some friends have already confirmed their coming. Everyone around me seems to have children so there will be about threethousandfourhundredandsixtynine kids ... and that's just the ones that are still on bottles!
Anyway, I love you all
