Wikipedia: Carl Michael Bellman (4 February 1740 Stockholm – 11 February 1795) was a Swedish poet and composer. Bellman is a central figure in the Swedish song tradition and remains a very important influence in Swedish music, as well as in Scandinavian literature in general, to this day. His main works are the Songs of Fredman and the Epistles of Fredman, each including some 70 songs, many of which are about sociable drinking and/or designed for the occasion of the same.
