a trip to Burns land.

So me love together with Her daughter and I took of for Brittain. Off we went from the westcoast down to Malmoe,



passing the long bridge to Denmark and finally we arrived in Esbjerg where the ferry was expecting us.





Anyway 18 hours later we did reach our destination Harwich, a flip on the steeringwheel and we was driving on the lefthand side of the road.

This page is supposed to be about music, not a travel guide so I stick to the parts of our trip I can regard as music.

On our trip we  drove off to Bristol where rumours said there was supposed to be a Burns dealer.

Finding a spot to park the car isnt that easy in a large town like Bristol´s center. Anyway found a sign about a musicshop and used their customers parking. Inside I found an enormous Fender Stratocaster.

the guitar now living in Töreboda-Sweden

As I didnt see any Bison guitars at Ricaxxe I asked in regards of such a guitar. Ric told he expected a Bison-64 mkII the coming monday. So with that in mind and that the Ladies really enjoy´d shopping in Bristol we stay´d. With fingers crossed I wnet back on monday to find that the actual Bison had arrived. An hour later I was the pruod owner of a Bison-64 mkII made in 2013. In other words brand new!!

"the Legendary ELECTRIC LADYLAND GUITARS"
in Bristol, where the legend is kept alive with help of it´s legendary shop owner.


Last wisit app 15 year´s ago was interessting. Already by then entering thrue a sidedoor to the more the crawded shop. Back then after carful entering with guitars, amps that seamed to attack me I found the shopowner sitting on a chair in the very small space in the middle of the room. 


The same problems was stil lpresent entering the shop, the main difference that the small open space in the middle of the shop where shop owner sits, was if possible even smaller.
