Cool stuff, Nicke
Both the tone and the execution show a lot of Paul Franklin influence. Very clean and crisp.

Happy holidays and best wishes for the New Year for you and your band.

Niklas, at this point I guess you've been playing around 4 years. All I can say is that you have a gift, in the sense that you're playing is utterly fluid and effortless and musical sounding. It is something that makes me want to listen, something very special that I hear in your playing. I've said it before - I think that we are witnessing the emergence of a steel player that down the road will have to be reckoned with. My best to you and have a great holiday. .. Jeff

Yes, kudos. I think your playing is gorgeous. Buttery smooth, and you really seem to "get" the instrument. I hope some day I'll be able to play that well.

Thanks a lot, all of you!! My band's demo/promo-CD is currently in production, but I think it will be finished soon - I'll let you know if you like!

Thanks again, and a Merry X-mas to all of you!
