Hi Keith!

Concerning Trad, gras & stenar; I couldn´t make it to the public library last weekend so I´ll try again tomorrow1
Korsberga is a small village between Växjö and Vetlanda in the south of Sweden, not shure if you will find it on a map though!

Cheers

Hawkswede

>assume it's a suburb of Stockholm, but it must be pretty damn small, as no

>Anyway, I hope that eventually we'll have a whole suite of maps (UK and

>Also, the 'Space Rock' Xword puzzle I made for the most recent issue of

>if you can trudge through it!  For the magazine, the puzzles are the basis

>otherwise) will allow you to enter the contest...sorry.  Although, if you
>were to send it in via snail mail (by 3/15) with a subscription order ($10/4
>issues, $14 overseas), I think you would then be eligible to win the CDs
>(listed below). (Sorry about the hard-line tactics, but we need the
>subscribers to support doing the 'zine.)

>I don't believe the puzzle should be too difficult for you all to solve,

>are hence eminently familiar to me.  But I hoped that unfamiliar clues would
>turn folks towards looking up websites on particular bands and/or reading
>other AI reviews and such to find some answers.  That I encourage.  But, of
>course, I hope you'll all work independently, as opposed to posting the key
>here on boc-l!!  I'm here, you know! :)  (And on spacerockers, pt-trans, isi
>krautrock, r.m.p. etc. etc.)

>Below are the directions for solving the puzzle, and how to enter if you
>want to subscribe to the mag.  (Of course, if you already subscribe, or
>purchased a single hard copy from a distributor, then your entry would
>automatically be valid.)  BTW, if we get *many* more than five correct
>solutions, then once the 5 CDs (listed below) are claimed via the random
>drawing, that'll be it for prizes.  If there are something like 7 or 8 folks
>that submit correct entries, then I'll probably come up with a couple of
