Little Red Rooster

This recording was done in Perägrammari studios. Pictures and video are taken with Nokia C2 phone (the older version) up to the last one which belongs to Nettimartta.

Rooster and chicken were walking on a traditional farm in Finland, so they were picked up with my phone as I passed by.

Streets of London

Ralph McTell plays the original version. It is time for the Olympics
of London at 2012.

I hope the words of this song would sometime become outdated.

Punch card

At year 1984 when I joined State Computer Center of Finland, punch

cards were gone. They were made by this huge typewriter

kind of thing and you did not want to mix the order when ready. Each

card represented one 80 character line. On mainframes, we use EBCDIC

characters that are coded differently than ASCII used on most of the

machines today. Today mainframes understand ASCII too.

Call Me The Breeze

This was third time, I played this song with singing, so I am sorry for my mistakes. But maybe it will help You to listen this through by counting how many of them I make... :-)

Pictures are from Finland and from Atlanta, which I visited during spring of 2012.

Wonderful Tonight

Thanks to Eric Clapton for composing this music. My version is here with pictures from Finnish summer.

City of New Orleans

This video is composed of the pictures I took while visiting USA during a winter between 1990 -- 2000. Most of the pictures are from Grand Canyon and Washington. When visiting Grand Canyon I took a hotel room from a small town of Williams at Route 66 where a line of railway is present and available for us humble visitors.

I hope You find this video entertaining and relaxing. I am always relaxed while listening to Guthries, Willie Nelson or Johnny Cash...

Talhassee Lassie

My all time favorite rock'n roll is Tallahassee Lassie presented by Hurriganes from their album Roadrunner. Here is our version with some dachshund puppy pictures.

Cocaine

Cocaine is an illegal substance for which I have no experience, but this peace of music will hopefully provide some substitute. Thanks for my good friends that made this possible and thanks to my wife to provide pictures and moral support! 


J.J. Cale composed this, and Eric Clapton made it even more famous. I am just trying to pay tribute for their extraordinary talents by providing something to compare. :-)

For english speaking spectators, cloudy in Finnish is recalled as a synonym to drugs, so these pictures are a joke in finnish. Pilvee!

Lady Jane

Lady Jane of The Rolling Stones. Played and sung by one member of The Brainles. Recorded as one take at the studio Perägrammari.

Pictures of our Dachshund Myrsky by Nettimartta. Hope You enjoy this.

Mr. Bojangles

I am not a guitarist, so I hope You don't mind my mistakes. I sang and played Lady Jane and this Mr. Bojangles. Pictures are taken by my wife, and the ones in the middle are for the memory of our almost 16 year old dog Pyry, who passed away about a year ago for lung cancer. Our new dog Myrsky, is closing this slideshow. Let’s hope, he has at least as many years as Pyry ahead.

This song is played by many artists, of which I have heard the versions of Sammy Davis Jr. and Mr. Bob Dylan. As you can probably hear, I am a great fan of them both, but I am a bit more comfortable with the sound and attitude of Mr. Dylan.

Information about the composer Jerry Jeff Walker is found from Wikipedia and words are also found easily with Google. Again, I prefer the wording of Mr. Dylan of which I have used here.
