I have played for the king and queen a couple of times, I have been sitting next to the best male cross country skiier in Norway, I have eaten breakfast and been in the elevator with the most famous violinist in Norway, I have met some famous conductors and soloists. The most infamous vicar in Norway that has been "dancing with the stars" on TV, having loads of scandals including a very social democratic funeral, dog services and other stunts... is my second cousin. So we have met in different family occasions including my father's funeral. Well. Non of these people are very famous to you and Norway is a rather small country, but still. The best conductor I have played under is Sakari Oramo. He is beyond great.
