i need to sleep soon, but wish to hear about hallelujah.
it cracks me up how people act like it's some kind of religious song! a sarcastic, kinky song about sex and communication breakdown... that's what i hear. and people are constantly turning it to shit on "talent" contest shows, mimicking reverence.
real comedy but sad people don't ever listen.

Sorry, was putting together a new batch of bread dough.Yes, I had three shows as a "pelimanni". It sounds more prestigious than it is; it's unpaid but gets you a ticket for the whole week's festival, and some of the performers can be pretty excruciating. But I got really good responses to all the shows. Two were completely acoustic, no PA, one of political songs (from the Wobblies, Woody Guthrie and me) and one of more straight folkie music, then one show with PA and pedalboard of "psychedelic stoner banjo".

Bread dough? Are you trying to get a rise out of me, Don? Sorry. The shows sound great. Well attended?
Avatar 5:27am
Michael of Cologne:

@Brian in UK: Yes hard to comprehend coz it's crazy political 'logic'. The politicization of Pro-Life, starting in the 1970s, was a wily, albeit stinkingly hypocritical, way to consolidate the conservative status quo and its highest value and freedom: free movement of thingified value. To hell with freedom of movement of human beings.

Don in Tampere:

Not huge crowds anywhere. There are about 20 stages ranging in size from small trailers on the backs of tractors to the big "Keskipohjanmaa Areena" tent, so things spread. I was on the smaller end, one in an on-site pub, one in a large-ish cafe, and the one with PA in a proper performance room. Probably never more than 30 people at one time, but the good thing was that they clearly really enjoyed it.

Avatar Swag For Life Member 5:44am

Don, I do cheat & use a machine, downside is that all loaves are the same shape.
That half & half mix is good. I find strong Canadian white flour does the job.
