You are right to travel .

I'll take care of Eva- Lena .

- Who is this?

- Sture kerberg , the new bassist .

Hey, hey.

- Hello?

- Hello . I am in Sundsvall .

- Grandma and I went to swim.

- That sounds nice .

They are calling me.

I have to go.

She didn't have time anymore?

-No!

What are we going to do now? - I don't know.

Buy ice cream! -Yes!

Here we go.

I call you, baby .

Thank you.

We will end the evening with "Do you know

what it means to miss New Orleans"

I won't sing this song anymore, because I don't know

a thing about New Orleans, but Dompan can sing it instead.

What the hell are you thinking?

All jazz bands playing the same songs.

It is more real to sing in Swedish.

Sing in Swedish?! But we play jazz!

When you sing with my band,

you sing in English. Come on.

- You were great. Got a light ?

- You were great too.

- What did you say about singing in Swedish?

- Why do I have to sing about New Orleans?

- I've never been there.

- Can I have an autograph?

- What's your name?

- Linnea. Thank you.

I was on tour with Cornelis .

He sings in Swedish.

It is possible.

- You can check writers in Sweden.

- Yes, that would be fine.

- Monica , can we get an autograph ?

- Yes . Where's the paper?

- On the arm.

- Should I write there?

Thank you. Hey.

What are you reading?

"Gissningar"

Is it not sad that the tour is nearly over?

On the contrary . It's nice to be home .

You think so? I barely know anymore

what "home" is.

- You have a child , right?

- A daughter.

- What should you do now?

- Take my daughter to Stockholm.

She needs to see that you can be what

you will. Or at least try .

- I like your style.

- Thank you .

Hey, little Monica.

What you said ...

... about singing in Swedish ...

I have thought about it.

See this book.

It is Beppe Wolgers poems.

He writes as if it is jazz.

If you like it, then talk to Beppe

at Nalen whe he is there one evening.

Fine. Thank you.

- See you tomorrow .

- Yes .

- What's with you and Sture?

- Are you nuts?

He's not my type.

He is a typical musician.

They might be good enough. However, they are

not the ones that make your heart beat faster.

- It takes more. For us .

- Yes , it does.

There you can see Dompan .

You could sing jazz in Swedish.

The guy who wrote the text , is standing there -

Beppe Wolgers .

You are happy when you walk

flanked by Sweden's most beautiful ladies.

- Beppe, my friend ! Here we come .

- Welcome!

Hey.

- My wife Kerstin.

- Nice to finally meet you.

I have to go to the kids.

- Can you write more stuff for me?

- With pleasure.

I'm at the cabaret this fall at

Hamburger Brs. Are you coming ?

Theatre is just not for me.
