Hi, Benct.  Terrific!  Would it be too much to ask for a translation?  I can
get about less than 20 percent of it at a glance (only because I'm lazy and
unwilling to spend half an hour poring over the whole thing!).  Something
about how Cameron's music, like himself, is without boundaries (gränslös)
(I'm assuming this is cognate with G. grenzenlos?), i.e., that he plays
"World Music"; that he was born in Iran's capital, Tehran... that his song
called "Roma" will be featured at the Melody Festival; but where does it say
that his lyrics are invented?  Is it further down in the blurb?

Also, there was talk last year of a group who had invented a musical
"glossa" and was up for competition.  That information is stored on my other
computer... does anybody remember them and their name?  Did they win
anything?

My last message in this time zone.  Maybe I could try posting another one
later this evening, if need be, and see if it is transferred to Henrik's
time zone. :)
