This is my tribute to the greatest country singer who ever lived.  It's Merle Haggard.
Written, arranged, produced, engineered, and all instruments played by me :D .

Calm After The Storm

Mr. Haggard

Pull on your dress, boots laced up tight,
The band’s tuning up under the hall’s tin light,
We left the bombs and the trenches far away,
Tonight the war’s a whisper, let the music play.
Spin that partner ’round under the chandelier,
Don’t think of the date that they say will come near,
We’ll dance the sorrow off, we’ll laugh in the dust,
Just the floorboards and two hearts ready to trust.

On this Saturday night on the floorboards we fly,
Fiddle and steel-guitar making the stars slide by,
Forget the headlines, forget the roar,
Just your hand in mine, let the night soar.
We’ll swing until dawn, until the sweat runs clear,
Tonight we’re so alive, tomorrow we’ll fear.

The trumpet hits a riff and the ladies start to sway,
Boot-heels clicking like the time we left grey,
The war-planes rumble in dreams we try to hide,
But here in the ballroom we take the ride.
Your dress glows in the lantern’s flame,
Your eyes say secrets that I cannot name,
So spin me fast, let the rhythm rise,
In the smoke and the laughter where freedom flies.

On this Saturday night on the floorboards we fly,
Fiddle and steel-guitar making the stars slide by,
Forget the headlines, forget the roar,
Just your hand in mine, let the night soar.
We’ll swing until dawn, until the sweat runs clear,
Tonight we’re so alive, tomorrow we’ll fear.

And if the night ends with the dawn’s pale sigh,
We’ll keep the memory in the record’s cry,
Dance while we can, because tomorrow might bring,
The weight of the world with a bitter sting.

On this Saturday night on the floorboards we fly,
Fiddle and steel-guitar making the stars slide by,
Forget the headlines, forget the roar,
Just your hand in mine, let the night soar.
We’ll swing until dawn, until the sweat runs clear,
Tonight we’re so alive, tomorrow we’ll fear.

On this Saturday night

Two traditional Danish fiddle tunes arranged for two fiddles, recorded at the Lange Studios in Seattle in the summer of 2025 by Ruthie Dornfeld and Kristian Bugge. Mastered by Søren Oliver Due.

Fandango / Mellem kagel og æ væg (trad from the playing of Karl Skaarup)

Vejledalsvalsen / Sebbersund Hopsa (trad dk)

The entire sound is in my hands. I write cyber poetry, produce, and compose every track ready for Immersive 3D. Every beat is crafted for spatial and next-gen headphones.
Intimate lyrics, total immersion, every track.

For 30 years I kept unfinished demos to myself, never letting them out. Now I finish what I start and release it the moment it’s alive.

I use every tool available, human or machine, as an instrument.
Technology doesn’t replace creativity. It expands it.

Award winning Danish folk music fiddle player and composer, Danish Folk Musician of the Year at The Danish Music Awards 2016 (Danish Grammy's)! Touring solo and with many bands in Denmark and abroad. Habadekuk, Baltic Crossing, Jensen & Bugge, Gangspil, Wenzell & Bugge etc..
