My main thesis from the Folk Music Bachelor's Degree has been translated with the help of Astrid Hulda Johannessen and is now available in English as well as Norwegian. Thanks are also due to Shawn Yacavone from Hawai'i State Archives who gave me solid advice on which sources I should quote in the paper. Sound examples have been made accessible with the help of QR-codes.

Debut album in progress
My first solo ukulele album containing all norwegian folk music tunes (slåtter) is underway. This is a pretty serious project with several talented people involved. Everything was recorded in the big storehouse in the picture. The album, which is called "Slåtter på ukulele", is expected to be released May 31st.
