Having the printed magazine in my hands for the 61st time over the years since 1980 feels sort of weired. It is exactly 29 years since I sneaked over to the xerox machine one night at my first job November 1980 to print out some 30 copies of IORR number one... [www.iorr.org]

Every time I make a new magazine there is a different story. Normally I do never announce the new magazine until it has arrived safely to all the subscribers a week or so after the mailing. Still it's the same old story. Why am I doing this? But when the printed magazine is in my hands, fresh smelling print from the same guys who have been printing every single issue since IORR 23, then I just love it, and I get the boost I need to do another one eventually...

The reason why I am writing this is because I loved this new isssue so much. The front cover is an art, and it made it one more time. Every picture tells a story, and I feel the pictures in this issue are telling more than just a story. Mick, Keith, Charlie, Ronnie, and more. A picture is telling why we love these guys so much, and when they are together, you do see the unique part in each of them, and you understand why you spend so much time playing their songs, following their shows, following them individually and defending them whenever someone is saying bad things about our favorite band...

Last Friday I was on the final stage. Just three more days of hard work and IORR 61 would go to print Monday morning. At 11:20am Friday I got a message from my oldest son saying his pregnant wife - my daughter in law - was rushed to hospital giving birth 11 weeks early to my grandchild number four. When you have a daugher in law and a granddaughter weight 1240 grams both in uncertain conditions then working on the IORR magazine is all very different. Six days later I am happy to know that they are both well under the difficult circumstances.

The Stones are magic, and every new IORR issue is a mystery to me. I hate it during the final work but at the same time I love it because when I am having a beer and reading the magazine as the first person on the list I enjoy every picture and every story as much as all of you. I guess that is why I keep doing this, and I guess that is how I should be able to do another one, a nd another one, as long at the guys are still around, which we all hope, for a long, long time to come still.

Enjoy IORR 61. It will be mailed out tomorrow morning.

Everyone who sign up within 12 hours from now will get it in the mail with the first mail-out tomorrow Friday. The rest will arrive late December or early January, as I will be very busy during the next few weeks.

My first three grandchildren were all born during the A Bigger Bang tour. For some mysterious reason they understood I am busy person and they all arrived in-beetween my show dates. This little girl may be thought I might fly out to Toronto in February, when her term was, Feb. 13, and for that I do understand, but I could not control it. I am crosssing my fingers she will make it. So far she is strong.

Bjornulf

Congrats, BV. You got mail.

All the best!

(...Toronto... ...February...)

Shouldn't this issue include an extended interview with Jody Klein, where he talk about future ABKCO Stones projects?

That was the insinuation by the interviewer.

Congratulations Bjornulf!

For those of us who haven't seen a current copy of this magazine yet, can we get a listing of the Table of Contents? I seem to recall BV posting that there was going to be an article about the new YaYas release.

Greetings from the Jersey Shore.

My copy arrived today in the mail (in Switzerland). BV will get some nice discussions on the cover picture :-)

The magazine looks great as always...
