ERRATUM !!
* 15:16 "Hon spelar bas i SITT band men gitarr i spelmanslaget."
This is one thing I'm still not fully sure about. I learned this type of sentences with "hennes" when in Dalarna, but everyone around me now in Uppland says "sitt". It might be a regional variation of grammar (there are many in swedish), or I just learned it wrong in the beginning. Sorry for that - and thanks Nerys for pointing it out !
