Hoikkaset taas, tavallaan - ja Mao
We played a small gig. Ensemble Hoikkaset - as trio this time (Eero Lahti, violin; Kyosti Jarvikallio, guitar; and JH, flute) with added musicians Heikki Lahti (mandolin) and Katja Lampinen ( accordion) - performed for local veterans of WW2. Finnish folk music for the most.
While travelling to Tallinn I began reading Mao the Unknown story written by Jung Chan and Jon Halliday. One more horrendous dictator to get to know some more. Hitler was bad, Stalin was probably worse but Mao was the worst. He killed the most and according to authors was an utterly selfish person. To be a leader for merely one's own grandiousness... Mao seems to have been a person who didn't care how much other people suffered.
