Two great hobbies has fullfilled my life and made my destany. The first one is MUSIC. I started learning the guitar in 1975. I played in some pop groups and bands like: "Sykkylven Big Band", the "Audience" and the "Avanti", all situated in Sykkylven. I bought my first pedal steel guitar (DEKLEY D-10) in 1985. After one year practising every night I took the chance to play in public with a steel guitar in a band called The South Beach Boys. My playing really made progress when in 1988 I joined the country band "P.Coin Band" as the steel player there. We made our one (and only) CD - LP and Cassette in the fall of 1988. We have still some of them left if you should happen to be interested. It´s a collectors item now so to say, named P.Coin Band - "Crazy Time". We did travel and play a lot at the end of the 80´and showed up in a lot of places in Norway and Sweden like countryfestivals in Verdal, Skjåk, Vinstra, Gävle, Countrygalla in Drammen, Norwegian Championship of Country Music in Moss. We were also backing band for a lot of other artists in this period like Lillian Askeland, Bjøro Håland, Johannes Kleppevik, G.Thomas, Odd Jarle Hanssen, Karete Kristoffersen to mention some. The vocalists in P.Coin Band these years were Per Inge Rørhus, Svein Halnes and Tone Holen, one at the time of course. The following people were also members of the band for longer or shorter time of duation: Geir Nakken, Willy Thomassen, Oddgeir Hatlemark, Egil Ødegaard, Vidar Røren, Asgeir Strømmen, Frank Hatlemark, Thor Inge Lorgen. During the recording sessions of the "Crazy Time" album we did get some good sounds and voices from: Øystein Hakestad - piano, Lillian Askeland - harmony voc., Leif Atle Strand - harmony voc., Dave Clark - had Willie Nelson´ voice on the song "I don´t care", Dene O´Neill - played the drums on the song
"Dixie Road" , and he was also the producer.
