Tributes to Lars
The latest contribution is Italian. Gianno Basso gently handles a number of Gullin classics and introduces a composition never recorded before; Gullin's hommage to pianist Renato Sellani, who sits in on that tune. Another Italian tribute will follow from Franco D'Andrea.
 Naturally, the Swedes dominate the list. Alke, Rosengren, Sjösten and Norén all played with Gullin during his final period of activity.
 The lovely tune Solvarm vals was written by Lars' wife Mailis Gullin. Claude Stephenson wrote the texts for Nannie's album, Gunnar Eriksson most of the choir texts.
 Kärlekens ögon is Gullin's music to a poem by Nils Ferlin, Min smala säng to a poem by Cornelis Vreeswijk.
