Sissel Youngest Norwegian Ever to Receive the Spelleman's Hederspris

On Saturday, Sissel sang "Anna Lovinda" at the Spelleman awards (Norwegian Grammy's) with two other legendary Norwegian performers, Bjørn Eidsvåg and Åge Aleksandersen. Following their performance, they were each awarded the Spelleman Hederspris (Prize of Great Honor--somewhat akin to a "Lifetime Achievement" award in the USA). Sissel, at age 37, is the youngest Norwegian performer ever to receive this great honor.
