Frida "En Lång Och Ödslig Väg"

I still cannot believe why Frida didn't want this beautiful version of "The Long and Winding Road" released on her double CD. It's beautiful.

 

 

 

Happy New Year, dear friends!

Gunnar Sandevärn shows us around in Torshälla.

Gunnar Sandevärn, who were the third bandleader Anni-Frid sang with shows us around in Torshälla (outside of Eskilstuna). He shows us the house where she lived with her grandmother. Even knocks on the door, but unfortunately noone is at home. The reporter ask Gunnar if he ever hears from her nowadays and he says that she called just the other day, because she needed some exact date for a book... This clip can be seen for free all over the world for a year from now.

Agnetha the Australian TV-special 2013

 

Agnetha trying on skitboots...

Agnetha's parents apparantly never taught her not to put out your tongue when you are trying on new boots. :D

This is from "ABBA in Switzerland" 1979.

Frida "När Stenkakan Slog"

I don't know who the guy Frida dance with is, anyone?

 

This is ALWAYS worth repeating!

Thanks to everyone who made this clip available

 

ABBA December 4, 1974

 

 

Maybe we can start working as normal now that we know...

--- who Frederic Tonnon is who probably (we have no legal proof) has been the poor little man that has ruined EVERY comment about Björn, Benny and especially FRIDA as he seems Gert-ish about Agnetha. Poor Agnetha she seems to attract the real psychos among us.

Voices I've hear about this "man":

This man is very well known in fan circles. He is from Holland and has even released 2 ABBA Books full of stolen photos. F. ex. he even has published in his book a FRIDA photo a journalist from Saarbrücken has taken in 1982 and I bought it then. I have given copies to 2 persons and however - the photo was in his book then. He is a very strange person, I have heard so many bad stories about him. No idea if this helps... I have no idea what happened to you and the blog. All the best, Anonymous

I know this fred tonnon from very long ago, he tryed to start a fanclub for agnetha, spreads lots of rumours, works for gossip magazines, he lives hear in the Netherlands very strange guy. i think he is on facebook as well and also a member of the offical abba fanclubs. Anonymous

 

It get's quite hilarious when you get to read his new (recently updated CV). After reading that I decided to stop this whole thing with a "secret log in" for such an innocent webpage as My ABBA Blog. So from now it's open again. If Fred turns up we will have to deal with him in another way (there are excellent drugs available his doctors can describe him now...)

http://frederictonnon.nl/ OH PUKE!

Horrible guy and Frida hater

 

Xxxxxxx Elan, Xxxxx and Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx can tell you lots about him.

 

The funniest things I've found is his online CV (available to everyone)
