My name is Annika Nilsson, I´m 33 years old and I live in Halmstad which is located on the south-west coast of Sweden.
I came in contact with SAILOR's music at age 7 or 8, thanks to the radio - "A Glass Of Champagne" and "Girls..." were played quite frequently...and since I had never heard music like that before, it didn´t take long before I was hooked.
In 1975, Swedish TV had the good sense to show a program with SAILOR - the first time I had actually seen the guys, and I remember staring at this strange-looking instrument apparently known as the Nickelodeon...
Sadly, I never managed to get my hands on any of the SAILOR-LPs at the time, neither did any of my friends, which meant that we could never quite figure out exacly who was who in the band namewise - we just called them "the guy with the anchor, the guy with the cap, the guy in the white suit...and the other guy."
Anyway, the years passed and SAILOR became a fond memory from my childhood - until a Saturday in the summer of the year 2000...
That day, I just happened to ask my Mum if she remembered the group with the odd-looking instrument - "it looked like two piano´s standing back-to-back" I said as a clue.
Well, she didn´t remember them, and so I let the subject drop - until that same afternoon, when we as usual on Saturdays went to a large second-hand market (which by coincidence is located down in the docks!!), a woman there was selling out her entire record-collection - and she had the "Trouble" LP!!!
I bought it without further ado, it´s almost in mint condition (there´s a slight "boo-boo" on "Girls..") and I played it twice a day..
So, my heroes are back and with them lots of fond memories and thanks to Karsten & Katrin I´ve been given the wonderful opportunity to see more of the lads on video, and hear more of their wonderful music!!
Something that´s been missing for too many years has been returned to me (and my entire family!!) thanks to the Wagners - and I do know the guys´ names now!!
Thank you Georg, Phil, Henry and Grant - your music means a lot to me!!
