Hello everyone,

So, this is the last thing I'll write in this tour diary before I fly back to Sweden. I would like to thank all the people who have followed us and read this diary. I hope you have had some fun reading it. Like all small tours, this last week has been quite an adventure and it was all documented on video. Hope some of it turned out good.

I would also like to thank Richard for making the whole stay in Holland such a great experience. We have had a lot of fun playing and hanging out. Having Bas & Udo as a rhythm section is always a real treat, they are both virtuosos on their instruments as well as fun guys to be around. My brothers in arms :-) I would also like to thank all the people who came to the concerts, and the guys who came up to us after the shows and showed us great respect and love for music.

A special thanks goes out to Arthur who saved this tour by lending me some keys. Thanks buddy! Next time we'll also have some time to drink beer. :-)

A big thank you to the guys at Bose who supplied us with a great sound system. We are proud to be the first European band to tour with this new system.

Below you can see some pictures from a clinic that I did yesterday in Tune Up, a music school in Haarlem.

It was really nice and relaxing. I talked about different ways of practising, different rhythmic concepts, melodic improvisation and scales and chords. I also played some stuff on the Grand piano. It turned out to be a three hour clinic with a lot of questions and dialogue. I would like to thank the guys who showed up, took notes, and showed a lot of positive attitude and interest in the music. Thanks!!
We had a good time. Good luck with your playing. I wish you all the best for the future.

So this is it for now, I hope to get my new website up soon with some new video clips, mp3's and new pics.
So please visit me there. Feel free to mail me or write something in my guestbook to let me know that you've been there. Thanks!

Take care ya all and be creative,
/ Lale
