Perjantaita

Friday.

I edited and rendered to DVD the gig Maija P, Sini and me performed last sunday in Lapinlahti at the residence of Bishop Arseni. The video is quite ok - well, at least as a document.

Earlier today it was time for me to listen to Spock's Beard and The Kindness of Strangers. What a wonderful album!! Masterful musicians and so very interesting music.

Sini, Maija P and me after our gig today. We performed Katri Taanila's Niitylta tuulee (= Wind blows from the field). Well, Maija did the most of it - Sini sang and I played some flute and recorder. The fourth person above is Bishop Arseni whose residence was the place of our gig. (Juha H. ; photo: Hanna-Maaria)

Bubbles under ice. - Maija P, Sini and I rehearsed for our forthcoming gig on next sunday. (Juha H.)

Teatteria

Sini and I went to Jyvaskyla to see and experience a theater performance. The name of the play was Stand up, Jesus. The story was a mixture of Scriptures and Monty Python's Life of Brian - a mixture of seriousness and hilariousity. Serious fun... The play was conducted by Vehna, bass player of Machine Men.

Tiiatterija

Just came back from theater. Some young actor-students performed Maiju Lassila's novella/play Rakkautta (=Love) in Lutakko, Jyvaskyla. The story was sort of "tragical love story". But it was SO FYNNY - I still have a smile on my face. Rarely I've felt this good after experiencing a theatrical performance. And on top of all this the play was featured by Vehna of the Machine Men.

Earlier today I recorded some drums to Jouko Takala's music. But alas! He e-mailed me that the recording project is cancelled for the time being. That's quite sad.
