Johan på Snippen!

From my concert in Arvika. My grandpas favorite song.
A wonderful moment with my friends and also a fantastic audience. Later we became The Original Swedish Arvika Blues Breakers!

[@MrAjax23]

me too. great song! The woman singing steals my heart!

[@northerntraveller3180]

I just love this song My Dads name was Johan from Stockholm. I wish he were here to hear this, R I P Dad. Cry my eyes out each time I hear this.

[@Odqvist89]

Man, that got to my heart, truly. I feel for you. May this song bring you fond memories and warmth.

[@r.g8345]

Härligt, detta är Sverige och en liten del av kulturen som binder oss samman.

[@Hammerlix]

This song reminds me of my Uncle whistling and singing Johan Pa Snippen as he worked. So many years since I heard this. Now I have tears. Beautiful.

[@vijaycarter]

I love this! My favorite Swedish song, and a Sutherland favorite of my mom and her siblings.❤

[@kg-uy6kc]

Älskar detta.. Svensk kultur när den är som bäst 🌹💕

[@fishnrodds1]

this was a staple song for me growing up, my grandpa played it on harmonica, now dad does..love it...I never knew it had words..thanks!

[@raphaelblackton876]

it is great, warts and all. I really enjoy this new song to me. Thank you

[@MyMoppet52]

This video is perfection! You are wonderful musicians, great stage performers, I LOVE the song, and this illustrates that mountain "clogging", "step dancing", and "folk dancing" are all combined due to great music. If the lead singer moved just a teeny, teeny bit more she would have been clogging as good as any person in the Appalachians! Wow. And I loved the impromptu encore! If I ever get to your part of the world I want to see you "Live"! Thank you, Moppet

[@user3141592635]

Jag och min söta hustru tränade folkdans förr, både Polka, Schottis och Hambo. Mycket vackert.

[@Eriknordlof]

Tack för en fantastisk spelning på min fars 50-års dag! Räkna med att höra från oss igen :)

[@silverascal]

Wow! Just love this! It IS foot stomping! Excellent. Your grandpa has great taste! :-) Thank you.

[@ottlakerambler]

Johan på Snippen ~ one of my favorite tunes that the locals play in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan (USA)! Thanks for sharing, kickingmule.

[@user3141592635]

It was a delight to dance Polka with my young wife.

[@RVing5150]

My dad taught me this song 65 years ago on the accordion.

[@user3141592635]

Jag besökte den lilla lilla staden "Stockholm" I Minnesota förr. Tänk om jag kunnat spela upp denna för de gamla männen på fiket, så alla kunde hört.De överhörde mig när jag talade och förstod att jag var Svensk.

[@joergweichselbaum3314]

beautiful, wonderful, i can´t sit...

[@motstraumen]

It is a wonderful story about Johann in The Corner has bought an Accordion and plays for a dance and what a time they all have from young to old.

[@Odqvist89]

Grym insats på munspelet!

[@user3141592635]

Mina dansben är nästan redan odugliga vid 62, danke schön. Jag förstår Tyska litet grand, mein guten herr.

[@Tore_Hedenberg]

Spelglädje och en oerhört vacker sångröst 🤗

[@MGonzoL]

I can not stop whistling!!! I do not have any idea what that song was about nor could I understand the lyrics, but that is what is so cool about music. It doesn't matter! It is all in our souls, and you people have it in your souls! Thank you for sharing that! I only wish I was there in the audience or better yet up on that stage with you playing and having fun, because that is what this is all about! THANK YOU! 5 BIG STARS!

[@OregonAlpenmeister]

I would have given anything to have been in the audience. I had grandparents who emigrated to the U.S. from rural Goteborg (and, yes, I know how to pronounce it). I also can say grace at the table in Swedish and do a little mild swearing, learned from grandma Eufemia.

Satans helvete faen, är ett gott svärord om du vill ha. Perkele saatani voivittu är är ett vackert svärord på Finska om du vill ha annars.

[@backenaset]

Det här svänger ju grymt!

[@thomasbacklund1381]

Heja Hanna Lindblom

[@davidlinstrand5913]

This is the only tune I have in common with my Grandfather Andrew Veidel. He played it on the fiddle and mandolin. He didn't live long enough to play it for me, but my mother hummed it for me.

[@fisfia]

Underbart!!! Mycket härligt.

[@jannenmusic4854]

Spelglädje är så fint :) Sköna ni är...

[@ebenbac]

Sångerskan är kanonbra!!!

[@timothyburton2312]

my son has to sing this in music class

[@user3141592635]

Hon med kjolen "Anna" ser verkligen vacker ut.

[@swedeman5785]

Extremely good,I would have trouble,remember all the lyrics :-)

[@ingelajo]

Wow! Härligt!!

[@janandersson1844]

Svänger underbart

[@VampireJohan888]

Den här sången tyckte jag inte om när jag var liten! Det var inget roligt att höra den om man hette Johan :P

[@helgapfaender8158]

Da bekomme ich, 86 Jahre, noch Tanzbeine!!😅 ❤❤❤❤❤ Tanzgrüsse aus Deutschland! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@oldtimeway1]

Det er første schottisch jeg lært at spille. Du unge gør et godt stykke arbejde. Mange tusind tak!!

[@user3141592635]

Jag och Bodil dansade både Schottis, Polka, Hambo, och alla andra danser som unga par. Haha. Mycket vackert att se.

[@AccordionLadyMi]

I enjoyed this very much. Thank you for sharing. Fran

[@motstraumen]

Eg tykjer den er god, man kan ser at det var ei gruppe som kom sammen i siste blicke, men blanda seg veldig bra. Folkemusikk skulle vere sånt så eg seier det er mykje betre en medelbra, du hev fått folket med og salen hev det gildt. Takk for insattsen. DS

[@MrAjax23]

I'd love to hear your rendition of Life in the Finnish Woods. How about it, yes?

[@loisbadeaux8714]

Me, too. Lois in Port Arthur sTX

[@medhorde69]

awesome

[@user3141592635]

Hon är vacker och heter Anna, för den svagsinte som icke förstått den mycket enkla saken

[@KrisShred]

beautiful performance :) a pity i can't understand the words ^^

[@user3141592635]

Jag undrar om vad min gamla Tyskalärarrarinna från Estland, Virve Arnell skulle sagt om denna vackra visa?

[@raphaelblackton876]

can someone give me the name of the female singer with violin? Thank you This is my favorite version Can't read the language, but maybe Klastor has Hannah Lindblom?

[@dimitrispapailiopoulos3562]

You've got it. It's Hannah Lindblom

[@lindachambers6212]

does anyone know the words in English? My dad's parents were immigrants from Torsby Sweden. shortly before he passed away on Jan 18, 2017 he sang parts of this song He was 92 years old. I would love to know what the words were.

[@raphaelblackton876]

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theodor_Larsson possible author of the words

[@karenpetersen1039]

Fantastiskt hur tjejen fullkomligt äger scenen med sin utstrålning. Vart tog hon vägen?

[@darylshellborn24]

where can I get the lyrics for this song?

[@ioren2692]

Vilken sång är äldst? Den här, eller Euskefeurat's "Bannes Johannes"?

[@Graverobber94]

Är det Olle Lind på munspel?

[@ryanjorud]

Is Hannah Lindblom the lead singer?

[@janselling8480]

Nagon som vet vad sangerskan heter?

[@OregonAlpenmeister]

Me, too.

[@kristersson1]

Skitbra

[@susanchristianson1468]

Couldn’t really hear the vocalist much over the sound of the instruments. Otherwise it was very good. I would have liked to hear the lyrics more though.

[@Captain-Nostromo]

Riktigt dåligt hur man lyckas förstöra en klassisk sång

[@sveningenilsson5500]

riktigt drag i
