| I'm working for a library/production music company at the moment and one of the cds I'm working with is all music in a country style. There's some lovely steel guitar played by Janne Lindgren, who I'd never heard of before. Certainly brought a smile to my face on a cold London afternoon! |

Hello Matt!
Janne Lindgren is Sweden's leading steel guitarist (loooong and faithful service!) and he's played at one of Scotty's conventions many years ago. He's also a well known name amongst country people in northwestern Europe and a little in central Europe.
You can reach him at steelguitar@swipnet.se homesite (in swedish) at http://home.swipnet.se/~w-110365/left_index.html

Great to see Janne getting some creds! Indeed Sweden's foremost picker!!  Who's the artist Janne played for on that CD, btw?

| I'd like to add, that Janne is doing an incredible job keeping c&w music going on in Sweden by sending out the email newsletters several times a week. These often include alot of steel guitar related information. And on top of all that, Janne is a forum member too |

| It's a cd of production music (i.e. music written specifically for film/broadcast use). Janne plays on several tracks. |

| Janne is also one fine gentleman. Got to visit with him in Ft. Worth a few months back when he stopped in for a visit. |

| I'll second that Bobby, I've had a couple of emails from Janne since posting this and he's a great guy. Then again, my experience of this forum over the past 4 years has all been of a friendly, welcoming and supportive nature, seems to me that steel players tend to be genuine people. |

How should Sweden look without Janne supporting with instruction, instrument and his positive thinking. Hi is the MAN.

| In addition to all the above attributes, Janne is also a respected DJ among the independent country labels and artists here in the U.S. and abroad. He's certainly an important figure as well as a gentleman and a fine player. |

I must say that Janne's daughter Sara has been very successful bringing up her daddy to a good old boy, he, he!
