Thank you. My mom and dad were on the dance floor in this video. It did me good to see them both together. Sadly my mom passed away in november of 2008, I miss her. It was good to see her again doing what she loved the most, dancing with my dad.

@tullatikku - Wow. That really makes my day. I'm glad it brightened yours!

Anyone have lyrics for this? I know most of the words, but don't know some of them.

Well done!  Merry Christmas and great season 2010!:-)

The dance is really nice! I wish I could learn it....

On of my favorite tapes is "Life in the Finnish-American Woods" produced by Oren Tikkanen in 1986 with Al Riko on accordion. It is good to know that you are still playing and entertaining the Finnish folk.

I remember attending these when I lived in northern Michigan. Really fun and still enjoy playing along. I recognize some of the musicians and was glad to have the opportunity to enjoy them live in Michigan. I also have some of their music on CD. Fun times. Great music. Keep the traditioni alive!
