That's an incredible story. Do you know where he is now? It would be great if he found some profession that played towards his unique set of interests.

I think he's a independent musician! Sometimes make woodwork, and instruments still, maybe more for hobby.

He still plays folk music, and regularly play at a Viking (Scandinavian) restaurant named Aifur in Stockholm. It's a cool restaurant worth visiting if you're going there one day =)

Aifur can be fun. Go with a small group if you can. If you're picked to do the "drink from a horn" contest, there's a trick to it. If you know the trick (and can shoot a beer), you'll win almost instantly. If I remember right, Glassbar ice cream a few steps away is pretty good.

If you're in Stockholm and interested in Viking things, take a trip to Birka. There's a ferry from Stockholm. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birka

What’s the trick?
