Thorgeir in Gufunes. Recorded by Atli Magnússon.
"When he left his distinguished career as an athlete, Þorgeir became the owner and breeder of many of the country's most famous showjumpers and geldings. It can be said that the sound of their hooves on the racecourses has reached every home in the country year after year, and for a long time the name "Þorgeir í Gufunes" will shine brightly in the minds of horse lovers."
But Þorgeir was a special man in more ways than this. He was also a strange and unforgettable personality. He was a warm-hearted man of unfettered freedom and wildness in his daily life, a child and a philosopher at the same time, who with unexpected comments and suggestions could see various problems of daily life in a completely new light, which made them trivial and perhaps especially funny. Not everyone followed him "on the flight" to begin with, but they did afterwards." (Cover text).
