This was the tune that was played during the continued war , when the russians had these so called radio mines. that blew at a certain frequency, wich was three chords and that frequency on this song blew the mines up so Vyborg was saved from these mines. So this is the song that saved us from the russians

It was funniest version of Säkkijärven Polka! Good idea to arrange it for PSG but not a simple one. Do you have some other Finnish melodies arranged?

Jussi, there is talk about a Finnish steel party coming up, maybe, in March. If in fact, I do come to visit my many good Finnish buddies, jam or not, please provide the following :D Yes, I did my homework! For some kossu, I will need a straw, I hear your water is tasty good, super pure! I want to enjoy the full shot gun affect! My water has been treated with so many additives, lately, I just use it to do my wash. So, mämmi, just have within arms reach, a serving spoon only. They are a tad larger than a regular spoon, I want to be sure my yapper is completely full of mämmi, it sounds wonderful.

Tonu, any suggestions? Send me an mp3!

Matti, I have heard you whistle, you be dern good!!!! ;-)

There are other foods that do indeed, taste as nasty as it looks, like foie gras. In my opinion, of course....

Think a rye bread drenched with Guinnes in fridgerator until it looks like porridge.
Thats about how it tastes.

And about Kossu, you have to drink it pocket warm.
