actress/composer Gaby Stenberg traveled around the swedish country

Great! I remember reading about this in a Swedish magazine (Hemmets
veckotidning or Allers) back in the late 70's or early 80's. I've been
searching my grand mother's attic to find that issue for ages, but no
luck so far.

At one point I even thought I'd dreamt up the whole thing with the old
lady, the 'tron, and the bees, but now I know it's true.
