Peter Lundberg

Peter Lundberg was born on February 9, 1942 on a farm located five kilometres outside of Mellerud, Sweden. Playing piano since age six, he got on to the New Orleans jazz revival in the 1950’s and edged over into ragtime after discovering a few pieces of sheet music. This interest evolved into a trip to the states where he met and worked with “Ragtime Bob” Darch. He has composed several rags. One of them, “Gothenburg Rag”, was published in the third edition of “They All Played Ragtime” (Harriet Janis & Rudi Blesh, 1966). Peter has played at many ragtime festivals in Sedalia, Missouri and in Alexandria Bay, New York.
