Lars described the three existing chapters of JBS, in the UK, USA and Sweden, and described the origin of his own interest in Jussi (which had a connection with Jussi's son Rolf, one of whose teachers: was Lars' father). He also told of his memories as a youthful super at the Royal Opera, one of them at an Aida performance with Jussi where he stood close to him and could hear his remarks before the curtain went up.
