What the heck is this Olitunes site you might very well ask?

Well, it is a small collection of material for those interested in Oliver Schroer, his music and the community of friends and musicians that has grown up (sometime quite literally) around, through and with him.

Check out the Workshop of the afternoon of June 14, 2008 where assembled company learn Oli's Swedish Seven.

Enjoy.
