We step off the Arlanda Express at Stockholm Central Station and make a stop at a kebab place that serves a full portion of potato fries to go along with a falafel roll. Just mentioning this because I think we are not on this planet to get stuffed with ugly fries if we already have a nice falafel roll. I am not sure how this fries thing is, just in general food is one of the few new things I ever buy. I have also thought that if we stopped producing crap majority of things produced today then maybe food can become affordable and great again?
I spot a long haired and very handsome Japanese man who looks like a musician. On zooming in he is not alone but in the company of three more long haired and handsome Japanese guys. I assume they are a band. Two of them come and take positions at our table. I get stranded in a sensation of starting a conversation with them but not doing it. Ugh well. Soon we find ourselves on a bus heading to Larrys Corner where we will play tonight.
Tonight we will have a concert here. We set up the set up and chat with Larry. We go on at 20oo. As Larrys Corner is a tiny corner, the audience is very close to us creating some unexpected sensations. After the concert we meet the audience and the vibe of this corner. Larry tells us about a Japanese psychedelic music group Kikagaku Moyo who also played in Stockholm tonight.
He had asked them to maybe step by The Corner before the show, but that apparently did not happen. We also meet George, an American who moved to Stockholm in the s. Although Larry came to Stockholm in the s, Larry and George met just a couple of years ago.
Turns out George, a man in his 80s is currently taking care of his 90 year old friend Izzy Young. In Young also moved to Stockholm and started a similar venue here. Larry closes his corner round about midnight and we take a taxi to home. We see George cross the street, as he is heading to another show he thinks should still be on. Great to meet people in such a high age going around and being curious.
