| 2014: Carl Michael Bellman (Design Beata Bouch and Gustav Martensson Engraver Lars Sjooblomm) |
One of my favourite stamp designs despite knowing nothing about this Swedish composer, musician and poet, Carl Michael Bellman (1740-1795) who also is famous for writing drinking songs.

| 1983: Music in Sweden |
On slightly firmer ground with this FDC. Playing the piano is the composer and conductor Wilhelm Stenhammer, on baritone sax, -Lars Gulliton, a fiddler in the middle, the composer Karl-Birger Biomdahl's space opera Aniara and lastly of course ABBA back in the limelight this year with their new album.

| 1987: 125th Anniversary of the Choral Society |
Everyone gets a chance to sing along with this pretty stamp

| 2020: Queen |
Sunday Stamps theme this week is - Music - hear it in your head and See It On A Postcard

Bellman is a new name for me (and a very musical one!), but you are absolutely right: the design of the stamp is gorgeous.
I have got some of those pop legends stamps from the UK. Although I like the stamps in general, I wonder if it isn't more a commercial than philatelic matter.
Even I could not fail to recognise Queen!
It looks like a fair bit of drinking was happening within that first stamp!
Did not know that Queen had some stamps! Great!
Got to love a bit of Queen! Attempted karaoke - Bohemian Rhapsody, of all things! I still have a few of the Queen stamp issue I can use!
