[Item Permalink] Visiting Lapland, listening to Lauri Tähkä -- Comment()
I was doing a bit of cross-country skiing (and a lot of work) in Lapland for two days. During the first day, the skiing was bad (temperature about 4-6 degrees above zero, thus making the skis not slide well), but on the second day the weather was excellent. I managed to ski about 30 kilometres, the first time on skis this winter. The first day, it took three hours to ski 18 kilometres. On the second, one hour for 12 kilometers.

I attended also a rock concert by Lauri Tähkä & Elonkerjuu. I had no previous knowledge of this Finnish band, but got a big positive suprise: good (Finnish) lyrics, nice set of songs with enough variations, a good show, and a nice group of musicians who knew their instruments. Perhaps not my all-time favourite type of music, but good nevertheless. I'm currently listening to Lauri Tähkä, perhaps I'll become a fan.
