Church ladies who rock

elna-rigmor.jpg

Amazing!

“Heres a Norwegian religous duo Elna Fredhoy and Rigmor Odun with a fantastic EP cover from the Harmoni label Oslo,Number HEP 178 would you believe!. It must come from the fifties and those interested in guitars and wonder what type is shown here…its a German Isana guitar and Elvis even had one when he was in Germany during his army years. These ladies have personalised both their instruments by adding the text “Helliget Herren” ….the Holy Lord.”     Keith Stevens, Nora, Sweden
