[78-L] Teddy Peterson Orch on Polyphon

[Kristjan Saag]

This is a general problem with Danish websites.
A tip: when you know what to search for and haven't got the diacritics - cut 
and paste the name/ title from any other site. That will help ya.

The site is not particularly user-friendly for non-Danes, in that it 
REQUIRES the diacritics in names and titles before it will return you any
information for the item.  I've messaged them about this, but nothing has
changed over the years....
