I had a wonderful 6 years in Norway playing jazz in the late '70s and '80s and there were some real characters there.
One year the Molde Jazz Festival had invited Sonny Rollins so the Oslo jazzers decided to have some fun with him. They invited him on a sightseeing tour since this is a very beautiful coastline, and strongly recommended a "beautiful old bridge" which he must see. They all got out of the car and started walking across the bridge, as the sweet sound of a saxophone playing "The Bridge" came from underneath the bridge. He was very amused!
