Ive been playing blues for a long time with different bands. It all began electric, kind of a blues-rock with lots of screaming guitars.. With age came the love for softer pure acoustic music. Acoustic blues won my heart!! Best described as a mix of old-timey slideguitar Delta/Country-blues and Spirituals that have been heard and felt by audiences on numerous concerts and shows around the midst of Scandinavia. The heart in the music is the genuine sound of ol'timey resonator guitars, when performing, me and my band also play piano, pump-organ, washboard, harmonica, double-bass, mandolin, kazoo and other typical instruments of the golden era! And what a wonderful sound they all make!!

Story behind the song
I found a close relative, my grandmother, very sick, and in that moment I hopefully learned to appreciate things as they are, every new day is a great gift..!!
Lyrics
We´ve gotta have faith and trust in that we´ll learn, it can be the difference that makes the tides turn. The answer to all questions lies within your own heart that yearns, we´ve just gotta have faith and trust in that we´ll learn.. We´ve gotta be thankful for each day, for all the good and bad that´ll pass along our way. Just think about it and hear me when I say, we´ve gotta be thankful for each day.. We´ve gotta be strong in times when we feel weak, scream out loud when we´re afraid to speak. Believe in yourself that´s all you really need, we´ve gotta be strong in times when we feel weak.. We´ve gotta be careful about me and you, we´ve gotta be careful no matter what we do. cause love and respect will help us through, we´ve gotta be careful ´bout me and you.. We´ve gotta be thankful for each day, for all the good and bad that´ll pass along our way. Just think about it and hear me when I say, we´ve gotta be thankful for each day..
