The world - and the Outpost! - is a neverending well of surprises... That girl, Elle-Kari, lived only about 40 kilometers from where I lived in the late 40's - early 50's (to keep us on track: we all remember when the first Fender basses saw the light of day, about the same time, yessss), and the coming 60's I was in the area again for a couple of years. But I never knew Elle-Kari... Hey, that's a title for something, don't know what: I never knew Elle-Kari!
And just for fun, I'll throw a picture in. A picture of that place in Lapland, where I lived when Elle-Kari was front page news. The place called Harsprånget, the Hare Jump. You understand why when looking at the river. And still I had ten years to go until I got my violin Hofner. Looooong years!
