ABBA Björn getting intereviewd! Translation of the show: Narrator: Björn Ulvaeus' sway to success is as straight as a German motorway. It all starts at home in Västervik. His musical upbringing was given to him by his father who played the mandolin. Björn: And what you heard on the radio of course "Vildanden" for instances, oh, that was fantastic. Interviewer: That captured you? Björn: Yes, the tragic - I don't even think I understood the lyrics correctly, but the lyrics were deeply tragic and they captured me anyway. I had a cousin who was one year older than me and who was really musically talented and who played the trumpet, guitar, banjo and piano. We would always have fun when he played for us at Christmas for example you see and that made a great impression on me. Interviewer: To play or fascinate the public? Björn: Yes both I think Narrator: 1962. Björn is 17 years old now. Bjorn and some of his friends went from house to house and played as The West Bay singers. Vastervikssangaran. When they realised that not only themselves but others too like the music they played, they continued playing together. They got on swell that they even were presented in a magazine and next year they won radio talent contest, On Stage ("Plats på scen"), with the name The Hootenanny Singers. Björn: It was the beginning of a spin on a carousel because there hadn't been anyone of that sort and there was a need of such at many amusement parks. We began to travel around with an old bass on the roof of an old car. Interviewer: And you thought it was fun? Björn: It was fantastic! It was huge you see! Really great! Interviewer: Your parents, your sister, your wife and your friends - how would they describe you? What have they told you about yourself? how do they characterise you? Do you understand what I mean? Björn: What the hell have they said?! Not stubborn, not mean, not sweet, hah! Interviewer: Are you an optimist? Björn: Um, not exactly an optimist, not pessimistic either. A bit selfish maybe. Interviewer: A straight-forward person Björn: Yes, that's probable.
