really! I bet the denizens of this chatgroup are gonna rip Jorma a new
one when he's 81. jeez, the guy's already kinda old but still hits the
road pretty regularly...still, you can't do glory years forever and the
songcraft will vary (though agree with the view about his band doing
too much acoustic on occasion, which ain't my cup of tea either). I
haven't heard the new album, but seasonally speaking, his Xmas album of
a few years ago was pretty good.
