Songs of a Sad Sailor is a piano solo concept album, built upon the life story of a really remarkable man. Runar Husell was born on Aland, Finland in 1916, and grew up as a foster boy with no means. Despite being extremely talented he did only get four years in school, and his only options in life were to become a farmhand or a sailor. He took to sea, and in spite of a series of heartbreaks and  dangerous adventures his photographic memory and extreme dexterity lead him to an accomplishment of an astounding and unique achievement.

This album is a musical interpretation of his story, created and performed by Swedish pianist Maria Gronlund, in a Neo-classical/Modern Classical style.

The story is included in the CD cover inlay.
