Recent Performances of SomeAre Solstice:
Vaer Deg Selv (Be Yourself) was recently performed at the Sons of Norway 45th Anniversary where the Lodge hosted a visit
from International President, Ted Fosberg. A collection of Norwegian traditional costumes were worn by many of the guests,
a host of wonderful Norwegian food was offered, and a good time was had by all in attendance. Janina played the cedar flute,
and narrated the saga of Vaer Deg Selv throughout her slide show, whilst guitarist, Ian Smith, accompanied.
Janina
continues to steadily refine her photos and text for recording, publishing, and performance of future stages of Vaer Deg Selv
and her other saga style poems.
