"We’re sitting in the bus, going from France to Spain. Last evening we performed in Paris in front of something like 150 people. That was the second biggest audience for me ever. The day before that in Lenzburg I had my first show outside of Finland ever, and the biggest one too. 800 people – quite big shit for me.

On the border of Switzerland we got stuck in customs and in the process a few parts of my keyboard stand got lost so in Lenzburg I had to perform with borrowed keys stand. That created a feeling of uncertainty in me and I think that it was visible in my performance. Despite that, it was a fucking great show for me – the greatest one so far, ever.

Yesterday we played in Paris. The venue was much smaller and the audience was too. On the way to Paris we found the missing parts of my stand and I felt like the happiest guy on the globe. Weird. Well, the show was a great success, at least playing-wise. I felt much more at home on the stage than the last time – no stress from weird equipment.

Yours,
Jukka the Tour Virgin
PS. Now I understand what the guys meant by “Mummola on wheels”.

PPS. If our German driver is not wearing a Finland -wool hat, he’s wearing a Jofa helmet. And that makes you think…"
