Improvisages ja aurinkoa

And it was a hot day. - Improvisages had a longish rehearsal. Mostly we just improvised. But there are gigs coming. We are going to accompany some other people and thus we had to play some written music, too. Anyways all was very, very nice. And in the other news - Sini is in Berlin, Germany. (Juha H.)

Kukka

Paivankakkara. (Chrysanthemum leucanthemum). Our backayard is quite crowded with these flowers. And I definately don't want to cut off any of them. - Today I finally decided to get me a new guitar pedal and bought Line6 Pod HD 400. And after checking it with my Akai EWI and especiallly with my Stratocaster all is well, so fine. (Juha H.)

Pioni

Twenty years of perseverance and Sini got this flower blossoming. (Juha H.)

Rush

Sini and I watched a BluRayMovie - Rush Beyond the lighted stage. Impressive, very much so. Wonderful music with something to say - Neil Peart is a great poet and the band is musically very, very interesting. Well, well actually the band is very much fantastic.

Three different bands but the musicians are all the same. - Yesterday Intergalactic Folk Orchestra, Cookie in the Jar and Dead Beat Society had a quite massive rehearsal. Six hours of making music and having fun (Juha H.)
