This Amarkaner Life: Marianne's Swords
Listen now
Description
“Opening Champagne with a sword is more fun. You can feel it in your stomach.” So says Marianne Sass Petersen — a bookkeeper from Amager whose life changed when she attended a Champagne sabering competition at Tivoli. Dedicating herself to the art of opening Champagne bottles with swords, she went on to win the Danish championship — and launch a successful business teaching sabering.

For good measure, there's a pair of improbable references to hip-hop, as well (neither of them to Liquid Swords, alas). Further information Champagne Sabling Squares and Triangles Scenery
