Orlkin the Fool, jester to the Hanoverian court of the Elector Falbius, played two metal chords on the mandolin at court in Heisburg on 23 December 1523. Unfortunately, he was subsequently burned at the stake as a witch, so full records are understandably lacking. It is said that he went out with two fingers upraised.

This is from Wiki:- The Irish bouzouki, with four courses, a flatter back, and differently tuned from the Greek bouzouki, is a more recent development, stemming from the introduction of the Greek instrument into Irish music by Johnny Moynihan around 1965. It was subsequently adopted by Andy Irvine, Dónal Lunny, and many others,[12] although some Irish musicians, such as the late Alec Finn, continued to use the Greek-style instruments. The bouzouki is originally a Greek instrument ( which you may have seen Alex 😉)

This song has a special place in my heart !!! Not just because wolf is Estonian national animal but the windmill battle between Tuomas and Floor ....holy mother of Odin !!! The title is taken from a King's novel called “Wolves of the Calla”. But the conception of the book has nothing to do with the text behind the song, it is far more inspired by the film "Dead Poets' Society". The main idea is - one must live his life the best he can, to strive for his aims, because the wolves are always 7 days behind you and they will catch you if your life is not of full value... and then you will be only dead meat. That's what Tuomas said in one interview. Howl and thank you Thamesmen 🤘🐺🤘 PS: Troy is playing Electric Bouzouki 😉 NWSU 🤘🐺🤘.

When you do The Greatest Show On Earth and The Poet and the Pendulum both songs (epics) require some research first as to what they are about as they are each in five parts. I would definitely advise the lyrics on screen. And Greatest Show from Tampere and The Poet from Wembley. Both have the lyrics. Many get utterly lost without knowing the background stories. Oh, and many stop The Greatest Show thinking it’s finished but there is still about five minutes left. My other suggestions both from the Wembley concert are Shudder Before the Beautiful and While Your Lips are Still Red (Marko with Floor backing). Also from Tampere, Marko’s The Islander. Oh, and if you ever decide to do all of one of their many concerts, I’M IN! Great channel guys. You two are my favourites. From Canada.

I was at Floor's show on 2nd September and due to technical difficulties Floor had some stories and anecdotes. One of them about her Wolf and Dog tattoo's. Dog is the Floor that wants to be home at the farm and loves the home life, Wolf is Floor touring with Nightwish e.a. and singing/performing. At that moment she had a fat Dog and an skinny Wolf happy to go on the road again.

Good reaction, good to see your appreciation of Empuu, he is excellent. That was the longest windmill I ever saw Floor do, especially considering all the rest of her activity, she was on fire, loved her silent wolf scream! Have you guys done Poet & the Pendulum yet? Really may be Tuomas’ best work, can’t make up my mind. I have been under the weather a few weeks, behind in my favorite reactions. Guess I will look, of course “Greatest Show” is mind blowing, & humbling.

What i love about Emppu the guitarist is that he never does things just to show off, he allways just does what the song needs. I mean he can shred with the best of them but only does so if the song requires it. Time for Shudder before the beautiful from Wembley soon i would think. its an incredible show opener. The showopener from Wacken Dark chest of wonders is incredible aswell.
