Hi, Jann!
Hello!
How's the Christmas of a rocker, being busy?
Yeah, kinda, but still you gotta be in the Christmas mood all the time.
What kind of a character is Santa Claus in your world?
An old dude with a beard, which probably isn't very surprising,
but I think Santa is at the same time a rascal like Esa Pakarinen.
He never reveals the truth. He just comes in the neihgbourhood,
and people ask how he makes it everywhere (in time).
He just replies "It's a secret", and then leaves.
And how's your exercising?
Does a rocker need to stay in shape in any special way
or is swinging around the stage enough?
Well, as a matter of fact, my legs are a bit sore even as we speak.
We went jogging a while back.
In my opinion, it is running in general that is the nicest form of sports.
Suits me well.
What kind of trips do you do?
Usually I just put on the woolly hat
and then start running along the sawdust track as fast as I can.
And when I'm exhausted, I go home.
When will you and your band decide to have a pause in touring
and start concentrating on Christmas?
We'll see. I suppose it might just be the day before Christmas Eve.
It'll probably be our day-off,
but otherwise we might be spending the Christmas together, as well.
Yeah, so the band is kinda like a family at the same time?
Yes, absolutely!
Now we'll have a look at today's winning numbers as we let Jann start painting.
He gets to paint a sporty Christmas picture.
And now it's time to see what kind of a picture Jann has painted us.
The name of the painting is "The slalom track of an elk".
The elk starts slaloming down the hill. The idea was born on the fly.
The paintings of Jann and the other guests can be seen on www.slu.fi.
