"The Sound of Mysen"

 

In August 1978, I got my first chance to see and hear Julie in a live concert from Mysen, Norway. She had promised Bing Crosby to do this Red Cross concert.

Naturally, I was very excited and made the long train journey from Sweden to Norway. I arrived about noon to the park, and I could hear Julie rehearsing. I persuaded the guards to let me see the rehearsal, and there she was - the most beautiful woman in the world! 

A mixture of photos taken by my Swedish friends. I had brought a bouquet of pink carnations which I was lucky enough to present to her after the rehearsal. She also signed a piece of an envelope that I got from a fellow fan - from Holland. I also met up with some Swedish fans - see below - that I shared a hotel with.

It was the first time and it was lovely - but the pain afterwards and the feeling of loss was awful.

The piece of signed envelope and the ticket for the show. We were told that it was "first come first served" so we occupied the front row only to find out that they were reserved to "celebs". Luckely we did get some other good seats on the 3rd row. Now we come to the sad thing about memory - I remember the names of Ida and Katalin. One of them took this photo.

Julie arrives in Norway and is greeted by Knut Lie of the Red Cross. Bing Crosby had played the park earlier and before he died he asked Julie to do the same.
