It was about love for roots music the band Hoedown was founded in 2001. A musical community playing country, blues & rock was born and felt a burning desire to play and share the joy with the audience.
The first time the band played together was in Helsinki at the Taidehalli Gallery in Autumn 2002. The killer groove of the band drew the crowds, and the musicians heard it through the grapevine. All of a sudden the top Finnish artists got on the stage to answer to the swingin’ call of the band.
Kiitos Puistobluesin vedosta, olipa mahtavaa. Kaverit haukkoi henkeään ja Ninnin ääni herätti vanhojen konkareidenkin selkäpiit :) Hienoa kesää teille kaikille!

Poem 2 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (please see my blog): WALKABOUT WITH MY PEN
Once drove an old sedan, up north, From a place in Sydney to Cairns; Then to Kuranda I went forth, By train, to look without set plans.
I browsed through the trendy market, With fresh fruits of tropical kind; Walked to the creek through lush thicket - Nature’s hand giving peace of mind.
I dined in a scenic cafe; Then, outside, as I wrote for yen, Some passing Kooris called-out: “Hey, You go walkabout with your pen.”
Request or question, I don’t know - Assured voices, elderly men. That’s now several years ago, And I’ve seen the world - with my pen.
