Unpacking is fun

When I travelled through Norway a number of years back, I made certain to stop at a few record shops to pick up some local stuff.

One of the CDs that I found had a track that I was particularly fond of. I played it often , and then the CD was swallowed up into one of my boxes. After a few years, I began to fear that I had lost it. (I had played it frequently at my old workplace and I thought that it was possible that I had left it there.)

I couldn't remember the name of the CD or the song. All I could remember was that the band's leader's first name was Odd (which is a common Norwegian first name) so the band had been named "Something Odd."

Go to google and search for the phrase "Something Odd" and you'll see what I was up against.

A couple of days ago, I opened a box, and there it was.

The leader of Something Odd was a fellow named Odd Nordstoga. Wikipedia has a nice long article about him (which seems to have been translated verbatim from the Norwegian Wikipedia article about him (It's in bokmål, the nynorsk version is pretty sparse at the moment. (I understand most of you have no idea what I'm talking about, but I also know that a couple of you do, so bear with me))).

The CD was titled "Solreven" and the song was "Fuggel i Karmen."

It's like a big weight has been lifted.
