We are all in the glamor group and, in the celebrity group. Help us to reveal a little about yourself, where we travel and where the rest of us meet you in the late evening hours, club, pub and the like or see and meet you when you go home early in the morning…
In the future, we will write small stories about you that connect to small music stories that may be of interest to those of us who have not yet come within. Everything doesn’t have to be true as long as it’s fun and interesting. It does not harm creativity if you tip us, the gray mass, us wretched and helpless ones, about your life experience and your experiences. Send us your contribution to geir.reiersen@outlook.com If you have a picture of yourself or something you want to highlight, include this in the email as well. Also want you to mention a song that you connect to the story you share. Remember you should not be ugly or mean to people in your story, we will take care of that ourselves. It is called division of labour. Welcome with your contribution!
