Danish player, Steffen Schakinger

Some of his music, I like, some not so much, but that's true of every artist

A partial Bio:
Steffen Schackinger was born in 1973, the second child of soon-to-be-divorced parents. His mother pursued a teaching and university career, while his father played as 1st french hornist in the Odense Symphony Orchestra. His care was entrusted to various au pair girls.
From 3 years old he was promoted to nursery school, not always a congenial place. In the ´70s children were expected to be gregarious, while he seemed to prefer the company of plants and trees, to which he would talk. His mother was daily alarmed by reports of his failure to play with more than one child at a time. Left comparatively alone he did not much mind the place.

By then he had long known the joys of pure passion, having fallen violently in love with a pretty baker´s assistant in the local shop center.
When entering the shop he would hide under his mother´s coat, clinging to her in the presence of those brown eyes which made him dizzy. One day Browneyes presented him with a small bun, kindly telling him that she liked little boys; in fact she had one of her own at home. He left the shop in tears but dark eyes ever remained a great attraction.

Music, besides brown eyes, attracted him greatly. Steffen attended his father´s concerts, falling in love with classical music. And sometimes falling asleep.

Toy cars too were his delight. He would set them out in the garden on a starched paper napkin. The blackbirds seemed to be singing all the year round, though occasionally one would be found dead and be mourned.

School began and, together with his sister, he attended a private day school which proved a disaster. It had been chosen to save the two of them from any single-parent stigma but the head teacher, who was also the owner, was a man who could not resist bullying the fatherless. One day he knocked the boy off a chair for having forgotten to bring his recorder. They never set foot there again, a less classy and kinder state school being found for them.







I promise to tone down the next entry!
