I'm a Big Fan of Bo Hansson's Work, Are you?

Bo Hansson was a composer and musician who mainly worked in the studio to create some really fantastic albums full of Hammond Organ work such as: Music Inspired By Lord of The Rings (1972) Magician's Hat (1973) Attic Thoughts (1975) Music Inspired By Watership Down (1977) He really disappeared for many years. By the time I'd heard of him in 1982, it seemed that he may have retired. I was greatly disappointed to learn that I might never hear another album from him again, because I adore his work. Then in 1985 he made "The Middle of Life", which I have never heard. I must look for it. Apparently it was only released in Sweden. Since then, his older albums have been released on CD - much to the delight of very new "Lord of The Rings" fans. I have also read that he occasionally plays a live set (I'm guessing- in Sweden!) To me he is a legend, a far cry in the musical wilderness. So, anyone else out there a true-blue Bo Hansson fan? Speak up! :)
