Hi Thomas and thanks for your friendship, I am hooked on swede since hearing about it' social inclusion and close association between the government and its people. Any suggestions on my forthcoming visit summer 2011 would be very welcome mate, take care and all the best, chris

Important information: the problem with uploading new profile photos should now be fixed. We're very sorry for the frustration this has caused. The problem occured together with an update of the CoS dynamic page titles.

(Message to all members) CommunityOfSweden.com has gotten it's biggest update so far: Groups! Anyone can create a group and other members can then join this group and discuss the group's subject and upload relevant photos. A group can be about a city, an activity, perhaps a swedish musician or something else. You decide! You'll find the new Groups section in the top navigation. Check it out and enjoy! :)

Hej Thomas, are you Swedish, Finnish, or like my late father-in-law, a Swede Finn? I ask because I have wanted to find the name of a Finnish baritone of the last century early to mid 1900's I think, for a very long time. I'm not sure whether he was popular or classical, but he had a beautiful, melodious voice. Can you think of anyone it might be? I happened to hear a recording when I was visiting an elderly couple in 1978, but I never got a chance to ask his name. He may have been a contemporary of Jussi Bjoerling, I really have no idea. This may qualify as a 'wild goose chase' , but it would be nice to know. Thanks.
