In our version Olavi Lähteinen is the vocalist and I play guitar and plectrum banjo. I produced this at my home with Band in a Box and Reaper. Translation of lyrics above: **** Song Summary *********** Key=Cm , Tempo 130, Length (m:s)=3:08 Style is _BIGEASY.STY (Big Easy New Orleans Old and New) RealTracks in use: RealTracks in style: ~1792:Tuba, DixielandMedium Sw 110 RealTracks in style: 2165:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm NewOrleansSwinginPop Sw 130 RealTracks in song: 1208:Fiddle, Soloist GypsyJazzBallad Sw 110 (Bluesy) RealTracks in song: 2807:Accordion, Soloist GypsySwingCory Sw 220 RealTracks in song: 1173:Accordion, Rhythm PopCalypso Ev 100 RealDrums in style:NewOrleansShuffle^04-a:Kick Shuffle , b:Ride, Shuffle Translation of the lyrics above: Temporary (Matti Jurva & Tatu Pekkarinen 1928, translation EB 2025) Life with its worries and sorrows, it is only temporary. A moment of joy, even with its most dazzling glee, it is only temporary. This joy and wealth of our life and the love that rages in our chest and that disappointment, truly: everything is only temporary! The scent of the most charming and beautiful flower, it is only temporary. Your time of golden, tender youth, it is only temporary. Your girl's sweet beauty and the purple blush of her lips and her smile, truly: everything is only temporary! The ectasy of wine, which lifts your mood, it is only temporary. And the jewelry that you buy to your sweetheart, it is only temporary. This joy and wealth of our life and the love that rages in our chest and that disappointment, truly: everything is only temporary!

Some favourite Waoist Adages: #1: Play on the Way. #13: Ask not for whom the flower blooms, it blooms for you. #58: Bring consciousness to it. #63: On the road to effortlessness, effort must be made. #92: Be Love Now, the rest will come on its own.

I arrived early to a restaurant. The manager asks, "do you mind waiting a bit?" I said no. "Good", he said.

I love seeing BIAB used in this way! Windows 11, Intel Core I5 10400, 16 gig ram, Scarlett 2i2, Sony Acid Music Studio 10, BIAB 2020 UltraPlus Pak

I love reading the lyrics for these songs - particularly the older ones - to contrast with today and find what has changed and what hasn't. Well done.

Mostly in Finnish or English languagea, which I understand. Sometimes even in Yiddish https://soundcloud.com/esa-blomberg...ium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing or in Creole French https://soundcloud.com/esa-blomberg/eila-vaan-g-200-20201006?si=83f10e3b9f2d4fca8a2fb90ea5966623&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing, and then translate them freely into Finnish. I try to also to create something new and not just copy older recordings. I'm glad, that you appreciate my hobby. Last edited by Brno; 09/19/25 08:55 AM.

We have long listened to Django Reinhardt and Stéphane Grappelli and thus immediately found it enjoyable. The vocals, your guitar/banjo and the BiaB session folks did a fine job bringing this one back. Enjoyed it. Our albums and singles are on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, Pandora and more. If interested search on Janice Merritt. Thanks! Our Videos

You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.com Add nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.
