  • The actors, who did a great job, seem to have disappeared into the storm along with their names. An internet search reveals nothing.
  • Text and music by Jon Rose

A party of tourists are lost in a very bad storm somewhere north in Sweden, all they have to help them are a phrase book and a violin. One of the party complains that his violin has come without an instruction book, another complains that her new violin has a hole in it...
