I grew up in the seventies and in Sweden that ment two things.
This man stopped Sweden when TV broadcasted his down hill races. Everyone watched and wanted him to win. He won a lot. After his races the days could go back to normal again.
Of course I got a puzzle like many other kids back then. He was a superstar. We wanted to ski like Ingemar Stenmark.
The other finding I did was this. Can you guess what it is?
Okey another picture then…
No? One more picture…
Think sweden music export in the seventies…
Exactly! Abba was our big music heroes. We played the music even if we didn’t understood a word in the English lyrics. We pretended to be them when we played.
It’s fun finding old things sometimes.
Jag tror inte jag behöver skriva något på svenska i detta inlägg egentligen. Det räcker att ni ser bilderna så förstår ni nostalgitrippen om ni var med på sjuttiotalet. Var ni inte med har ni säkert hört era äldre bekanta och släktingar berätta om Stenmark och Abba.

Kommer ihåg både Stenmark och Abba. Jag tycker fortfarande om Abbas musik och blir glad av den.

Ja den musiken har nog skrivit in sig i den eviga historien hos många.
