    Yes. Great playing. Great timing and articulation. So why not do 5 Bruce Thomas bass lines?! Lipstick Vogue. Chelsea, Pump It Up, Everyday i Write the Book… from the Attractions – and one done with Suzanne Vega – 99.9F…Just a thought… :)

    Got to be “When All Is Said And Done” at the top of my Abba bass line list. Just beautiful in terms of both sound and riff.

    Julia is great. I’d love to hear more of the early Abba numbers – Ring Ring, SOS, Money x 3, Honey x 2, I Do x 5, Mamma Mia and Fernando please.

  4. Hi, Julia ! Unexpectedly on FB, in the column of the ABBA fan group, I saw your video last night. You’re a very talented girl! What I heard in the video made me happy! ABBA is the favorite ensemble of my youth, and my favorite music until now. Also, when listening to ABBA songs today, I can focus more on the musical material, which is so rich, as well as the lyrics. And I’m happy for every new people today who appreciates and loves ABBA music! I wish you good luck and joy playing these songs. You do it very well! Wonderful!
    Best regards ! – Inese
