Nope, but I'm Swedish, just like ABBA... Andersson is not an uncommon
surname, nor
is Bjorn an uncommon first name.
I actually saw them live, 1979 or 1980, in Gothenburg.
Actually, you're the first one ever to ask. *chuckles*
And the reason for the post wasn't about the numbers of musicians... but the
quality.
I'd guess there goes a hundred computer artists or more on one good computer
musician...
The numbers are interesting though, as I and a friend of mine have started
looking into making a game
on our own... (not AR - he's not an AR Geek).
