M J Nish (TheScientistLife) writes, "Not many Dutch people now this, but Cornelis Vreeswijk, born in The Netherlands, migrated to Sweden in his teens and turned out to be one of Sweden's most loved musicians. This is one of his best songs (in my opinion) so I could not leave it uncovered..."
... And perhaps you'd be surprised to know that a Californian would know of Cornelis Vreeswijk as well. But I am of Swedish ancestry and my mother, Solveig Larsson, immigrated to the U.S. from Boden, Sweden in 1955. Thanks M J for doing a cover of Cornelis in such beautiful Swedish.
