Hi!
I arrived today to Copenhagen (or Kobenhaven, as they say here...) and will stay here till Sunday, to attend a medical convention.
Before leaving I was a bit afraid of the weather, but I was pleasantly surprised to find a bright sun and a very nice temperature, definitely more mediterranean than scandinavian.
I thought to share my excitement with you all; in fact, I am really loving this place: few cars and bycicles everywhere, plus... lot of wildlife (birds): very cool!
I hope to catch some interesting musical act; after all, North Europe is the kingdom of arranger keyboards, right?
Ciao!
Andrea

Hi Dreamer.
Hope you have a great time in Copenhagen.
I've never been but know plenty who have and they've all talked highly about it.
Wait until you meet some birds of the nightlife variety

Andrea ... great hearing from you ... I hope you have a wonderful trip and take some great photos...

Seems like a more suitable username would be "Traveller", instead of "Dreamer"

Have fun Andrea,

Hi Andrea, great to hear from you in wonderful Copenhagan. I trust the medical convention you're attending proves more satisfying & rewarding than the one you attended in San Francisco at Moscone Center, back when you visited me 2-3 years ago. I look forward to hearing about which arranger brand-model keyboards are sold and most popular in Denmark after you've had a chance to check out the local music stores and music venue scene there. It will also be interesting to discover how much arrangers are being utilized by live music acts in Denmark. I trust you'll take & share share pics too. Look forward to chatting on Skype with you on your return. - Scott

Hi Dreamer

A warm welcome to Denmark.
You are right, we are having very nice weather this week.
This summer - from the beginning of June to mid August - we have had temperatures at todays level or higher. In addition in the mid summer the sun will shine to after 10 in the evening.
I hope you like your stay, and you are welcome to visit me in Brabrnad (Århus). It is only 2½ hours away in a car...

Kind regards
Jørgen

Jørgen,
(I am finally able to type that "ø", since am using a danish keyboard: yippee! )
thank you for your kind invitation; I really appreciate that!
Unfortunately I am rather bound to København since I don't have a car and have a program to follow (after all, I am here for professional reasons...); the most I think I'll be able to do is "cross the bridge" and have a look at Sweden (well, at least Malmoe...)
However, I really appreciate your kindness and -once again- thank you for inviting me.

Hi Andrea
I hope you have a pleasant short stay in Copenhagen and thanks for reminding me of my own happy times there.
Make sure you are photographed with the Mermaid in the Harbour with a glass of Carlsberg in your left hand and a Danish open sandwich in your right hand!
cheers
Eddie

Andrea....Good to see you on the board...
enjoy your stay in Copenhagen. When are you coming down South of the Boarder to sunny Mexico for a convention?????.....
TR

Hi Tony,
well... Mexico is a favorite destination for medical conventions, so... who knows?

Andrea, one of my best customers over the last few years is an Italian manufacturer of spiral staircase kits called Albini and Fontanot. The staircase line is called ARKE. We do training, literature, displays and packaging for products sold through Lowe's, Home Depot, Orgil Brothers and others.

The wierd thing is, in over two years, I've never met anyone from the factory. All work is done thru the sales agency in Atlants and the American Branch president in Boston. I'll meet Walter, the president from Italy on 0,26 here in Kentucky.

Just wondering if are familiar with this firm?


thanks,


Russ

Russ,
no, I can't say I am familiar with the firm you mentioned, but this is not big surprise because in Italy there are hundreds of medium-little sized firms specialized in manufacturing things. Actually, I think I can say that our economy is based on transforming raw materials to create something that has some intrinsic artistic value (we are kind of proud of our aesthetic sense... )
Cheers,
Andrea
