A Happy New Year to all you fans, friends, fairies and fools supporting Old Lost John! Thanks also to all of you I've had the pleasure to work with on stage or in the studio during the year: Moppis Andersson, Mikael Persson, Maria Davidsson, Johan Malmberg, Thomas Jarbo, Ida Gustafsson, Frida Ã…strand and Eddie Didriksson. And thanks to Peter Kaarle for getting me gigs and lending the amp, to Carson in Canada for the airplay, to Acoustic Shack and any other webcast station that included Old Lost John in their playlists during the year. And thanks to anyone else I forget to mention that deserves it.
This has been a reasonably good year for Old Lost John, writing and recording a healthy amount of new material, gaining good reputation and increasing the fan base. Alas, I didn't get the new album together, and I didn't tour the UK. I don't want to make any promises for 2007 that I won't be able to keep, but on the other hand, not making any promises is not the way to make things happen. So I promise I'll push myself to focus on what needs to be done, keep my heart in my chest and my head on my shoulders and pull on through.
As you notice, I've opted for a new website design. Hope you like it.
Stay humble, and best wishes for 2007!
Tomas of Old Lost John
