ABBA

She starts out by playing Beethovens Moonlight Sonata then plays a modernized version of Dixie.

I believe the Modernized version of Dixie you hear her playing is "The Banjo" by Louis Moreau Gottschalk

Abba made two significant trips to the U.S.

The first, in November 1975, did not include any stadium concerts but did feature several TV performances. These included appearances in San Diego on the Mike Douglas Show, in Las Vegas on the Merv Griffin Show, in L.A. on American Bandstand, the Don Kirschner Show and the Dina Shore Show and in New York for Saturday Night Live. (Along with Louden Wainwright III, Abba were 'musical guests' on the fifth-ever episode of SNL, on Nov. 15, 1975. They performed "S.O.S." and "Waterloo".)

Abba's only major concert tour in the U.S. was in 1979 when they played 13 dates between September 17 and October 3rd. (They also played four concerts in Canada before and after the American dates.)

No, "A Little Respect" was written by Vince Clarke and Andy Bell of Erasure in 1988. Erasure did record an EP of several ABBA tracks in 1992, Abba-esque, which produced the band's first number one single in the UK. The ABBA tunes covered on that EP were "S.O.S.", "Take a Chance on Me", "Lay All Your Love on Me", and "Voulez-Vous".

"I Am the City" was a track recorded in 1982, intended for a ninth Abba studio album that was never finished. The track was first released on the album "More Abba Gold" in 1993. It's not clear that lyricist Bjorn Ulvaeus was writing about any city in particular, though the band always closely identified with their home town, Stockholm. But no doubt Bjorn was also inspired by the many world cities the band visited during their 11 years performing together. And we know he had a fondness for London, since he ended up living there for many years.

There is no one in ABBA called Frida Falstad.

He has been married to Lena Källersjö since 1981.

Bjorn Ulvaeus and Agnetha Faltskog were a couple from 1969, getting married in 1971, until their divorce in 1980.

Benny Andersson and Anni-Frid (Frida) Lyngstad were together from 1969, getting married in 1978, divorcing in 1981.

The two couples continued to work together until Abba's last public appearance in December of 1982.

The song is credited to F. Peterson; F. Sartori; L. Quarantotto

"Honey, Honey" was recorded on January 30, 1974 and included on Abba's second album, Waterloo, released on March 4, 1974.

Benny Andersson born December 16, 1946.

Bjorn Ulveaus born April 25, 1945.

Agnetha Faltskog born April 5, 1950.

Anni-Frid "Frida" Lyngstad born November 15, 1945.

According to Bjorn Ulvaeus it was loosely based on his divorce from Agnetha.

ABBA released the hit "Money, Money, Money" in 1976. The track was recorded in May and released in November. "Money, Money, Money" was also performed in ABBA's hit musical Mamma Mia!

Looking out for the place to go"

To promote the need for a stronger central government.

Gert van der Graaf, known as "Agnetha's Stalker", is a Dutchman who had a two-year relationship with the "blonde star" from ABBA, Agnetha Faltskog. After the two-year relationship was ended by Agnetha, he was arrested on numerous occassions for "stalking" Agnetha and was subsequently deported back to his homeland. He ha no current contact with Agnetha, who currently resides on Ekero, an island south of Stockholm, Sweden.

Abba was very much an ensemble act and in my opinion it would be difficult to determine a "most popular" member. The majority of Abba tracks did not feature one solo singer and, of those that did, three of the four members shared lead duties. That said, if forced to choose, many fans would likely name Agnetha Faltskog as a favourite. Note only does she have a slight edge in the numbers of lead vocals she performed (on 11 of the band's 40 top singles) but she was often celebrated for her classic blond Scandinavian beauty. According to some music journalists at the time, she had the "best bottom in pop", an accolade she scorned.

ABBA wrote a song called "Slipping through my fingers" if that's the one you mean. Björn ulveaus and Benny Andersson wrote it.

Abba never officially disbanded and had already recorded several tracks for a planned 9th studio album when they took a break in 1983 to work on other projects. (On their last public appearance, on British TV in December 1982, they insisted they were not calling it quits.) Agnetha Faltskog and Frida Lyngstad both revived their solo careers, recording new albums (Lyngstad in collaboration with Phil Collins), while Bjorn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson began their three-year partnership with Tim Rice to write the rock musical "Chess".

But it was also true that the fun had gone out of working together: both couples had divorced by late 1981 and there was a sense that they'd lost their connection with the music-buying public. When Agnetha recorded the vocal to their last track, "The Day Before You Came", she said she felt it was the end.

Ring Ring, released March 26, 1973, is considered the first ABBA album, although it was originally credited to "Björn & Benny, Agnetha & Frida". The group didn't adopt the acronym "ABBA" until the summer of 1973.

There were several mishaps at the ABBA Australian concerts, one person was trampled and taken to the hospital. No riots that I recall, just over-zealous fans.
