Sue's purchases and travels

Long before we had Idol there was Eurovision.  Today the first Swedish entrant in the Eurovision contest died.  She was 90 years old and her name was Alice Babs.  The search is starting for Sweden's next entrant for Eurovision.  The purple horse we carry represents the Melodifestival which is the stepping stone to the Eurovision contest.   There is a wide assortment of singers participating but the young woman shown here, Elisa Lindstrom,  in blue dress,  seems closest in spirit to Ms. Babs.  If you want a better idea of the importance of music in Swedish life be sure to visit the Abba museum.  It has a great display that allows you to hear music from each decade.
