Christer Hedlin 1947 - 2007.
We are very sad to tell that Christer "King Kino" Hedlin who was a very good friend and musical collegaue has passed away. Christer was a most talented and versatile musician and played wonderful blues harmonica among other things. He was also a good blues singer and choir singer. We had the pleasure to play with Christer in the "Little Thomas & Pinetoppers" band for some years and longtime friend Thomas also played with Christer in the early days.
Little Thomas & Pinetoppers will continue to play the rootsy Chicago blues in the spirit of Christer.
