During this visit to Finland I’ve heard some incredible music.
- Lisa Stansfield – Been Around the World (Twice)
- Terence Trent D’Arby – Sign Your Name
- A-Ha – Take On Me
- Abba – Waterloo (Swedish Version)
- My Heart Will Go On – Celine Dion (CanCon)
- Holding Back the Years – Simply Red
Most of these songs take me back a few years. Except the ABBA. They take me back to August.
I did get an opportunity to visit the brand new music stadium located in beautiful downtown Helsinki. That was pretty cool. There was even a Canadian from Ottawa performing. What I liked best is that the guard rails were of a decent height. This is not the case everywhere.
Humans are getting taller and this means that in a few years many of our theaters, stadiums, and chocolate factories are going to have to undergo a refit to raise their guard rails. It’s going to be expensive. I’m happy to report that the Finns had the foresight to make the ones in their state-of-the-art concert hall of a proper height.
Don’t forget Modern Talking and Wham!!
And Alanis Morrissette. Also Canadian from Ottawa (CanCon)!!
