ABBA Drummer Ola Brunkert found dead
March 18, 2008MADRID, Spain (CNN) — A drummer for the Swedish pop group ABBA has died after an apparent accident at his home in Spain, a Civil Guard spokeswoman said Monday.
Drummer Ola Brunkert, here performing last year in Sweden, toured with Abba in the late 1970s.
Ola Brunkert was found dead late Sunday at his home in the town of Arta on Spain’s Mediterranean island of Mallorca, the spokeswoman said.
Police believe Brunkert may have fallen against a glass partition separating his home’s kitchen from the garden, and the glass broke and fatally cut his throat, she said.
He was found in the garden and is believed to have bled to death, she added. An official cause of death is pending until after an autopsy.
Brunkert, born in 1946 in Sweden, played drums on ABBA’s first single, “People Need Love,” according to Abba’s official Web site.
He was not among the four best-known members of ABBA whose faces adorned the album covers — Anni-Frid Lyngstad, Bjorn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson and Agnetha Faltskog — but he was a key supporting musician for the group as it achieved stardom.
The group’s hits included “Dancing Queen,” “Waterloo,” “Take a Chance on Me” and “Knowing Me, Knowing You.”
“Ola toured with ABBA in 1977, 1979 and 1980,” the official Web site said. “Together with bass player Rutger Gunnarsson, Ola is probably the only musician to appear on all ABBA albums — he was one of the most frequently used Swedish session musicians during the 1970s.

I was reminded of a few things yesterday morning at C3.
Proverbs 15:1-4
A gentle response defuses anger,
but a sharp tongue kindles a temper-fire.
Knowledge flows like spring water from the wise;
fools are leaky faucets, dripping nonsense.
God doesn’t miss a thing—
he’s alert to good and evil alike.
Kind words heal and help;
cutting words wound and maim.
> We need to be Gentle in our Communication
> We need to speak words of Wisdom from God
> We need to Think first…then Speak
Is what I’m about to say…
Truthful?
Hopeful?
Inspirational?
Necessary?
Kind?
> The tongue of the Wise brings Healing
What’s been keeping me busy
March 2, 2008I am stringing for the Manhattan Mercury shooting video for MHS and KSU. Not a very high paying gig but fun while it lasts. I am using the Mercury’s Sony handicam which is not supported by my Mac so I find myself trudging to the newspaper office at all hours of the night. But is sure is fun watching all this basketball.
