To those of you who can make it to "My favourite Flops ", Johan's newest compilation of songs from musicals that "flopped" - he always finds something good somewhere in the score - make your way to MOSEBACKE in Stockholm - (it's only about three or four hours from London, and well worth the trip !)
Dates : 16th.,23rd.,and 30th. March 2008 at 18.00
Entry : Sk 130 - a bargain, and cheap at twice that price......
Booking: 08 556 098 90 Book early to avoid disppointment.
You've heard much about the impressive Anna Larsson in her operatic and lieder genre application of the simsannabim breathing routine .....here's your chance to experience a world class cabaret artist, revealing how it works for another aspect of singing, accompanied by the equally talented - Erik Skarby - fantastic rapport..
Johan's brilliant rendering of a wide spectrum of generally unkown songs is always refreshing and absorbing - please support this modest and highly gifted entertainer - I'll be there on the 16th. March, laughing and crying, as usual, at the sentiments he awakens in me...
The factor which Anna Larsson and Johan have in common is the ability to touch the soul with their wonderful musical imagination - they raise your spirit on to a different level, well above the mundane. Every note and word is conveyed with a
rare sincerity that touches the heart - lucky we.....
To make sure you have the correct address for Anna's home page, here it is again - now let me get it right this time = www.annalarsson.nu

Back to practical breathing hints - if you want to check your ribcage expansion, put a tape measure around the lower ribs, breathe out and shorten the tape comfortably and make a note of the measurement.
Then inhale through the nose and let the tape lengthen - now you have some idea what the ribcage is doing when you inhale but can't actually feel it. That is how I developed my breathing capacity as a young singer.
Originally, size 12, the expansion was two and a half inches, and progressed to about four inches over a period of years. Now, size 16 (ooops!)the measurement is five and a bit inches......this means that my lung capacity was well above average at the time of the fire accident some years ago, and medical specailists considered that to be the reason I survived such severe lung damage....
So, Dear Readers - as I always advise - k..p b.......g - tee hee......
