    This series could not have ended in a better way. It was interesting to hear how Kim went from initially disliking traditional folk music to being a folk artist himself. I loved hearing him sing. I also appreciated the fact that he is a great knitter and did not hesitate to show his projects on-the-go to us. A lovely person with a lovely voice. Someone who has found his or her niche in life is a gift to have around, and you both found a gem to bring to the series.
    Another lovely moment was when Arne gave Kim something he knew he would cherish just as much. That was so kind of Arne.
    Thank you again for this wonderful series. We got to travel and learn so many interesting aspects of craftsmanship in Setesdal through the memorable people and the gorgeous area. Thank you SO much. 🥰

    Arne, that was the kindest thing I have ever seen. Dolly would be so proud of you. It is exactly what Dolly would have done! Love to you all and thank you for all you do for all of us.

    The words of English translated song were so beautiful and poignant. What a wonderful interview with a really special person. I have loved this series so much - such a rich tradition you have shared with us - and I would love to hear the English songs on an album! Thank you Arne and Carlos, very lovely series! Xxxxx

      Thanks so much for your feedback, Kate. We have loved recording this series so much, and are really sad it’s over. But ending with Kim, we think we ended on a really high - and very very beautiful note ❤️❤️

    One of the most moving episodes, here. Arne - your generosity is so warming: to give something someone wants AND something so loved by oneself is the gift of a lifetime. It was so gracefully done, so lovely. And isn’t it fun to share these common interests with others?
    I hope you two get to meet #DollyParton sometime; I hope she sees these videos and, when travel opens up, all of you are in the same place at the same time.
    Thank you, all three. Bravo.

    Such a lovely episode. As a Norwegian it’s so satisfying to be reminded of different parts of our culture that I kind of know, but not always is conscious about. It’s like you put a common thing up in a frame, and suddenly it transforms from common to special ❣️
    A PS to Arne because I noticed how he inserted the pink record back into it’s cover: I once learned from a friend that worked in a record shop back in the vinyl days, that you should always insert the record in the paper sleeve sideways into the cover. That way you’re sure the record won’t fall out by accident if you pick the record up the wrong way because the opening is covered. If that made sense.

    What a great episode. From Norwegian folk song, poetry and knitting to pink vinyl Dolly Paton LPs. The music was so atmospheric.

    Thank you so much for giving your time and talents to make this wonderful video series about Setesdal. You have saved the best for last. I loved every episode but this one was so so wonderful. Thank you. Made me cry, Arne, when you gave your friend the Dolly souvenir. That is such a kind, sweet thing to do. Love you guys!

  • @kathykujawa6183
    @kathykujawa6183 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    wow. remarkable episode. i was saving it for a quiet morning. i have gone down the rabbit hole of folk music. when he was singing i heard bits of Irish Gaelic as well as alot of Scottish Gaelic story telling melodies. wow. wow. but i also heard a bit of Gregorian Chant. made me think back centuries when people memorized prayers in song because they did not read. then i was thinking of old American folk songs of mountain peoples- usually Swedish or Scottish heritage-- very much the heartland of DOLLY!!!! my head is spinning with the connections to the poetry of life and the past that are stitched together into a fabric of history that still gives back today. i will be floating all day. thank you for this series. i love this kind of history and craft talk. thanks a million!!! if you have time check out the music from the show Outlander first season-- lots of scottish story songs- very moving.

    What an interesting person he is. I love that he is considering recording the poems in English. When he sang the first poem in English, I was struck with how similar it is to the a cappella folk songs of Appalachia mountain area of America. Of course, we have many nationalities of people who settled in the mountains who brought their ways to America. Dolly Parton is from Appalachia. I could listen to Kim sing all day. Good music to sew along with. Thank you again for this series. Much love to you. Gail K.

    • @davidhensley76
      @davidhensley76 3 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      Yes, the melody is similar to the British Isle ballads that came to our mountains.

    This series has just been so amazing. Informative, history-filled and a travelogue all in one. Arne and Carlos have outdone themselves. You and your team should be so very proud of yourselves! Kim has a beautiful voice. It did remind me of the Irish ballads we hear. So cool to hear Norway's folk music and learn the interesting background. I feel so appreciative of having been exposed to such high quality material. A hearty "Thank You"!

      Also, although not used often, the noun "stave" in English Prosody means a verse or stanza of a poem or song. I think it must be the same as "stev" :)

    Dear Arne & Carlos: i have so enjoyed your Setesdal series. It is a tremendous achievement.. so very well done.. and the translating was truly a labor of love. I so appreciate that you stuck with it... Well done! i learned so much, and tell my friend of norwegian heritage all about what I have learned; she would never watch a knitting video, and it has been fun to share with her... keep up the amazing work, I am a fan from the San Francisco Bay Area

    That was a beautiful finale to the series. And we have become new fans of Kim. We loved the way his voice calls back to the ancient melodies. We are looking forward to following his career and his music releases.
    And as for you guys- so well done! Carlos did such a great job keeping it all on track and with the fabulous translations. We know so much more about Norway and the traditions. This series has been very inspiring.
    Arne- you really are an angel- that was such a amazing gift and we all know how much you love Dolly so it makes it that much more touching. We really hope one day Dolly calls you up and you get to meet her!

    I loved this final episode of your Setesdal series. During my visit to Setesdal with my husband, an Irish folk singer we were part of an evening of kveding The singers went on from one to the other almost seamlessly and although there was a language problem the humour and emotion of the verses came through and we very much understood “ drikk ei drikk og ta en dram” They said the Scots were there once. We were with Arnfinn Staurheim a folksinger “verdens berühmt I Bø in Telemark. Another place you should put on your list. I also thought of Valdres so many tradition rich places you could have life’s work. Norway has been an influence in my life in so many ways and I love the folk culture so much. It shows how ordinary folk can achieve so much. My thanks to you both. Marion

Kim's beautiful voice, his spirit, his warmth...this comfortable welcoming format sitting in your garden chatting...I am charmed and Enchanted. In fact, I would like to offer a suggestion that you consider something similar to this last segment of the Sedestal series as a future guest format.
    And once again, thank you more than words can say for blessing us with this story of the art of Sedestal.

    It’s funny you mention generations of families doing crafts. I picked up spinning this last year and went back through my family tree to discover my great great grandmother’s last name is Flax. It was a fun surprise to find out we had linen makers in my family.

Although I don’t understand Norwegian, I love the sound of it so I will enjoy every listening moment. I listen to Skald, too, and just love the traditional music. Thank you for this fascinating episode; a perfect way to wrap up the Setesdal series.❤️

    Thanks for all your great videos especially the Setesdal series. Folk crafts and crafters after my own heart. Especially this episode with Kim. You know that book that his relative (Great Uncle) wrote that he read a poem from? Well, that one really hit me and put me on a quest to find that little book of "Norwegian poems in english translation by Gunnstein (Gus) Rystad". I checked everywhere for it Ebay, Amazon.., I spent all day googling the heck out of it and...I FOUND IT!!! Hooray. A rare book store in Seattle Washington. They had ONE copy. So I bought it. It should arrive by post tomorrow and, I can't wait. Don't think for one second that your videos don't make an impact on the world because - THEY DO. I'm an avid viewer and I'm so grateful to the both of your for all your hard work and effort to share your world of beauty and design and humor with all of us. Keep em' coming boys. Sending you Big Love from Hollywood California.

    Kim has a beautiful voice and seems so kind ~ thank you Arne & Carlos for sharing Kim with your viewers and for sharing your Dolly Pardon birthday gift with him ~ that’s what Folly would have done ~ you’re the best.

    I just want to give a "thumbs up" to your production crew. The drone photography was beautiful. I was sad to see your vacation end. It was also our vacation. Thank you.

    This was just a beautiful episode in so many ways . Hearing Kim sing really wrapped around my heart. I grew up with the early tradition of country music and folk music and his voice and poems just touched this part of my history.

    Arne and Carlos, thank you so much. I have zero Norwegian heritage but I cried at the end of this series. I was so touched by it. Kim's song at the end went right to my heart. Arne's generosity was also so touching. I hope you know how many lives you both touch. 💙

    What a fantastic episode to end your Setesdal series on. So interesting. What a fascinating conversation. Thank you for this series, I hadn’t appreciated how ingrained in your culture the folk costumes and all the crafts that are linked to them are.

    This has to be one of the sweetest episodes to date. You are all so adorable. I love the sweaters too, absolutely stunning. And I am quite certain you are all just as sweet as Dolly Parton. I hope you all get to meet her one day, especially Arne and Kim - who by the way has a beautiful voice. I think it would be great if Dolly and Kim could sing together!

    Hello Arne, Carlos and Kim. This for me was the most enjoyable video in you Setasdal series. Kim is a natural singer and a lovely knitter too. I love how everything he does is family related. Thank you all for a smashing video. 😊 xxx
