Spoken Word
A.k.a. Leif Källberg

Leif autobiography from Presspunkten: Thursday, May 19, 2016 the Blekinge county newspaper wrote about me because of gramophone disc In other words, Cheek to Cheek, I had sung in Stockholm in 1974. On Saturday 21 May Sydöstran wrote about me and the gramophone record. In the English version was called Fly Me to the Moon and Cheek to cheek, and the disc was insjungen at his own expense. Sydnytt was here and interviewed me.  It was printed in fifty copies of the record company September, and had cost me three thousand crowns to record. The reason was that I had failed to get into the Royal Dramatic Theater drama school for four years in a row, having been a student of theater educator Manja Benkov on Götgatan in Stockholm. I was born in Strängnäs in 1946 and had my first job at Fritzes royal hovbokhandel between 1964 and 1966. There I was a student and had to sort out the books on the shelves again after sales efforts by them. Eventually I got tired of the job, stopped and started at Vattenbyggnadsbyrån where I pulled stencils between 1966 and 1969. Since the end of 1969 I started to work as an office janitor AB Gösta Bäckström, where I continued until 1971, when I stepped in to a four-year delay in the military because of psychological problems. I was being told stubborn in my attempts to get into the Royal Dramatic Theater drama school, and Manja Benkov and also her other students thought I was a great character actor, and should enter the Royal Dramatic Theater. Military service was made at F21 in Luleå and win with it was that I actually managed to quit smoking. Before military service, I had smoked a large packet of twenty cigarettes a day for three years and is very happy that I managed to quit smoking. When I came back from F21 I returned again a short time at AB Gösta Bäckström before I applied to be a student and began studying at Karlskoga natural sciences. I was bitter about the miss to enter the Royal Dramatic Theater and had decided to become a scientist. After two years I had gone out a course of study reviewed Excellent very good, and realized that I probably was not sufficiently gifted to be a scientist in the natural sciences. I moved again to my mother, and began a summer replacement in a convalescent home in Trångsund outside Stockholm. There, I made up three thousand crowns, and decided that I had personal voice and took the pop singer. I approached the gramophone company September and agreed with them that I would sing the gramophone disc. It was the first sentence that I would have accompaniment to the song, but after I tried it, I decided to record it a capella, ie without the music to the song. The album was printed for the first time in fifty copies, which after five or six years was thrown off of me because I felt it was bad. First tried , I sing in the street, but after trying it for a while I thought that I could not sing. I thought the record was poor, and made contact with Danderyd hospital psychiatric clinic where I laid into me for psychological problems. It was on sick leave for six months, and then I was unemployed before I again tried me on the study. This time I started college Västerhaninge general line, and went out again with excellent very good, because I simply was not sufficiently gifted for scientific studies. However, it was tempting to attempt the university so I tried a few years. Eventually I found, however, that I was not talented enough, so I dropped out and became unemployed. I started after a year at Samhall, and packed wipes and various other simple chores. Since the beginning of the nineteen-eighties, I was investigated by the AMS, who thought that I took on an office course for the economy so I was on it. I was good on the course, and had probably taken the office work I had invested in one. However, it was tempting to begin a correspondence course in English SSVN in Norrköping. There was plenty of time as it took until 1988 before I graduated of course in Norrköping, and actually managed after receiving a four stage two to cope with a fifth place in the rating of Stage Three. Then I began to read English at Stockholm University, but dropped out of the course after reading 16 points and went over to mathematics, but failed and instead began physics studies. It appeared almost as I had anticipated that I only managed to read the language, but did not want to bet on it, but dropped out of the studies. I had decided even before the university studies that I would start a sole proprietorship which I called for Leifitv internetkonstruktin. Now I have a good man who takes care of my finances and we have decided to close the firm. Stefan Sundberg P4 Radio Stockholm has made two programs about the record. They called History of the most remarkable disc and man behind the most remarkable record. The twenty-fifth of August, the supervisor Kenneth Svensson, and I gramophone singer, invited to a release party at Mosebacke. One night's accommodation with dinner at the hotel, and breakfast and of course ticket round trip to Stockholm. The disc was pressed again by Stefan Dimbles in Stockholm, the agency again in seven hundred, copies and was where I had to sign autographs at the hotel.
