When one still have a memory, Lets give it a Go. I am going to make a cavalcade of Stockholms Cultural "bastards" and former friends and playmates from the 60's and 70's to start with:
I have pictures of all of you - I just need some time........ Don't be ashamed, the time was good.
Joen Lagerberg, Envoy, Ambassador and "OverceremoniMastare" to the Swedish King. My first "Mentor". A man with great cultural experience from the World who gave me a Grant from the Swedish King, Gustav VI Adolf. 1966.
by Christer Stromholmin Paris Jan. 1967, at the very famous cafe/restaurent, whatever the name was. "La Coupole" ?
Ture Sjolander and Christer was very good friends for many years and Ture made all the darkroom jobs/prints for Christer's "Transvestitete" collection 1960 -62.
1966 and got "spurred" and have since then been living in denial, no matter if it was Nam June Paik, Vasulkas or anyone else. You got to be an american to hide that fact.
And for sure I met Ligeti and Stockhausen and many others long time before Paik. I met all those guys including Paik, Peter Hopkins, David Hall, Bryan Hoey, Pierre Shaeffer, and many many more "idols" occasionally during early 60,s....
