THE STORY OF BOB'S BAR

It all started in February 2004, when I got the idea of writing a tribute song for my home away from home, Bob's Bar in Kamala Beach, Thailand. I went to our bungalow and wrote the song right there and recorded it upon
returning to an icy Stockholm. Recording and producing the song left me with an itch I just had to scratch so I kept
writing, and writing ...until, about two months later, I had 11 songs ready. The album was recorded in my studio in
the Old Town in Stockholm during the summer, with post production and bits and pieces added during the fall
and early winter. I had a rough version of the album with me when I returned to Kamala in November, so I got the
chance to hear the song "Bob's Bar" where it really should be heard - at Bob's Bar.

Then, on Boxing day 2004, the tsunami struck. I was working on the final mix of the album when my wife woke me
up saying a huge tidalwave had struck Southeast Asia. We sat dumbfounded and watched the terrible reports
coming from theTV - I simply couldn't believe it. All the phone lines were down and we couldn't get in touch with
Bob or any of our other Thai friends and it wasn't until the day after that, finally, Bob gave me a call to let us know
he was allright, although there wasn't much left of the bar of, fot that matter, the rest of Kamala. All was lost. As a
good measure of what kind of man Bob is, he still asked how my wife Charlotte was and if our son had been born
yet. Here we have a man who has just lost everything that he owns and he still wants to know if we had gotten our
baby yet. I think that is remarkable. At the time I write this, it is still very unclear if there will
ever be a Bob's Bar in Kamala again. The fact is that it is up to us - if we all come,
he will be there.

This album is dedicated to all those who lost their lives and livelyhood in this tragedy
and 20% of the price of the album goes directly to Bob to help him rebuild the bar.
I'd like to sign off in the distinct hope that we all will, indeed, meet down at Bob's Bar
sometime very soon.
