"OrsaYran"

 

Jump 4 Joy
received a special invitation to Orsayran july 2000 and 2001 (with James Wheeler). "Orsayran" is a remarkable event in the middle of Sweden. Each wednesday during the summer every person with a musical talent of some sort will meet in the Orsa Hotel, with fiddles, accordions, guitars, harmonicas, tubas, drums, banjos (and more) and have a few beer and fraternise. At six oclock they will parade playing an old American tune with swedish text about the local railroad, watched by a high number of visitors and town people. After the parade anarchistic street-jamming is performed in shops and corners for some hours, rounded off by a trainride back to the hotel - THEN there is night jamming in two floors.....
