Tonight I'm doing a concert with Hannu Kella.
This is the way it goes on a day of a concert. Contemplating and doing practical preparations.
As usual, I feel a little disorganized but at the same time so strong about the music we are going to play. Like a feeling that the whole world needs to hear the songs we will play tonight, as answer to all kinds of questions there might be in a human mind. Because we are mirrors, music is like poetry, it's open for understanding in many ways. Folk music is often a reflection of timeless questions about life and death, jealosy, love, broken hearts, boldness and courage.
I've sung the songs on my own, I've read the lyrics loud (my daughter is sighing about this...)
I've decided what the outfit will be, most black and white colours for the sake of the drama ingredients found in the swedish-finnish songs.
I've almost packed the bag with stage clothes, shoes, microphone, book of lyrics and set list. What else do I need to bring?
I will just now, after I've finished writing, do some yoga.
A cup of coffé and then go.
Life is so fantastic. Here's one of my inspirational movies, made by multi-artist Miranda July:
Just lovely to learn how buttons are made!
