    Leif Andersson (not Jon's brother)

    Here is a treat - and since Mats Öberg pays tribute:

    "Leif Andersson - Kind mot kind. Super rare privately released swedish '45 from 1974, and possibly one of the weirdest records ever. It's an a capella Sinatra cover, sung in swedish, in a pretty unique vocal style to say the least."



    Mats Öberg (Mats/Morgan) accompanies the track : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pi0YGY-fD8o

    Okay, I'll bite: where's the treat?

    Jon's bro' would be MUCH better than this Leif guy.

    But this was quite cool too. I once heard a radio program highlighting Öberg's picks from the grand Swedish heritage of song, and he went on to choose some of the strangest tunes and pieces imaginable. Apparently he knows a LOT about it, swhich I suppose isn't all that surprising as he's been a keen and seemingly aware listener from the age of 3.

    Singer of Jez, who are recognized as the best in all of prog, though only in extremely secret quarters. They were influenced by Limahl from before his work playing pingpong in the band of Stefan Hockeyt.

    Jon is a brother to every living thing, except they who are his sisters. So Leif is his brother.
