Good stuff, Wolf. I Know Why is one of those tunes I've always liked and kicked around with forever. Never played it on a gig (never knew the bridge, or middle-8, before), but now that we do the NH circuit, it would be a worthy addition to our list. Thanks for putting it up.

Awesome... loved it!

I like the "laid back" way you perform, nice!
Made in Suomi Finland = Good Stuff.

Say, Wolf, each time you have posted, I have given you much accolades and it's darn sure deserved. I even have enjoyed your irreverence. However, FWIW, I just listened to this again and I'm thinking, Wow, this is SO good, I should send this to my mother.

NOT.

Your tag destroyed that thought!

Hmmm... maybe you could make some youtubes and whack off the curse words. Or just edit this and I'll send it to Ma! She would love it. You are very talented. I hope you do more.

Dean Martin was the party guy, the charming, drinking crooner, but he did just fine on t.v. without cursing.

Just a suggestion, do whatever makes you happy, but it would be cool if you could share your talents with old folks, too! They'll have a coronary with the curse words! Seriously, you might just become a global internet phenom by cleaning up your act. I could envision you dressing up nicely and doing your songs as an old-style "show." You are that good. Who knows, maybe there's even a way you could make money at it.

I only offer this suggestion because it is rare to find a talent like yours. You are a good player, yes, but the magic is in your voice. And charisma. Carpe diem! Youtube awaits The Wolf!

What a great old song. Thanks sharing your talents with us. I do agree with simi live though. I would like to be able to play your music for my daughter or parents but can't due to the profanity.

Thanks man.. and I hear ya, I kinda ruined a good performance for a lot of people by the cursin at the end.. just couldn't help it though, I cocked up with the ending pressing the wrong buttons there and being high strung and having a few beers in me again it just slipped out. I coulda redone it again and again of course but I dunno, kinda defeats the live feel to it.

Anyways yea I'll clean up my act.

You mentioned the money making aspect of things.. that's something that can't really be done here in Finland. The only way would be to tour the country 24/7 in all the dance venues, but I know that kinda life would kill me. Not to mention the wife who wouldn't see me two hours a week. That's the reason why this has to stay as a hobby.. I have a day job as a systems specialist at a large multinational IT company, but I do perform at weddings and such when I feel like it... sort of to balance things off. And get a few dimes on the side.

Thanks again on the comments everone.

I find it very interesting to hear what the folks here at SZ do at their 'day job', if they have one ...
Thnx for sharing, Wolf ...

BTW ... maybe you can tell me why the underscore key just stopped working on this PC ...

Hi all.

OFF but ON topic.

I know what you mean, but it amazes me a lot that they who don't like to hear or read some words named as "curse or swear words" always have to tell everyone else to behave like they want it to be, and have no "mercy" to those of us who sometimes happen to read those words at high volume.
If I say "what in the pink woods" it might sound better, but what I mean by it could be the same or worse as if I said %¤%-*£@.
To me it seems like it's a kind of 'if those who are deep into the holy books' have problems to tolerate those who are less into it, how can one expect any respect the other way?

That said, here in Scandinavia we are used to that many of the people in Finland say "Satana Perkele" and more. Especially at the early 60ies when TV got more common, there was "Finnish TV Theathre" once a week, oh me and my, that made really big eyes and ears at young ones.... a lot of swearing, sauna and nudity.

To be honest, the words spoken by our Finnish friend do not make his performances less talented to me, he is a great singer and a good entertainer.

Heia Finland!

Gunnar ... Of course Wolf's performances are no less talented because of his language ... BUT, if you read what Bill and others said, it was that while his language may not be offensive to SOME, it could be offensive to OTHERS, and therefore they would not want their mothers or children to be exposed to it ... as a result, Wolf's performances might not get to be appreciated by as many people as they could and should be ...
NO ONE minimized his talent ...

Hi Tony.

And I don't think I said anyone did, but see your point that it can be read that way.

I don't speak for Wolf, he does that very good for himself, but I express my personal thoughts about some of the comments above.
Wolf exposed himself and share his stuff as the talented person he is, and I think we should respect that rather than tell him (or any other) what way to speak or behave during performances as long as it is as harmless as we seen here.
Regarding what grandmas or/and children should be protected to hear, I think it's even worse words to hear just by take a walk along the streets........

Anyway, Happy Playing and Singing.
Cheers
