Hot tempered Estonians- cd out soon!

Yup, that is the name of our unofficial band that doesn't really create music, just sometimes, but very irregularily. we are more like rhythm people and in general loud and annoying. At the same time I'm proud to be Estonian... yesterday when a crowd of people were asked to go and help out in the kitchen it was the Estonian crowd that stood up and went without questions asked... But back to our band... It all started with Hannes and I taking music classes and having maaaany hours with different coordination and rhythm exercises. plus singing with all four on the floor, on the back, walking around etc...
Then we discovered spoons. yeah, you couldn't really imagine what a tool that is. And please, more creativity now and get your mind further than soup!
The main purpose of a spoon is to stand on one's nose. Or if preferred, on a cheek and for the intermediate to advanced level, on a chin. Or why not on all. Being suicidal you can try with forks as well and take part in running competition like that- carrying a fork on your nose. Sounds like a proper adult past time activity... But Estonians don't settle with ordinary. We gave it a bit more tune and started to use the tools to beat a rhythm at the same time. Basically beating everything- tables, napkins, apples, mugs, sofas, each other... The mark of participation will remain on your body as a proof, no certificates needed. The cold northern people don't behave so odd... but the southern state of Estonia can afford going bananas. We decided here with the small group of hot tempered Estonians that we don't belong to Scandinavia after all. Proud to be Eastern European! Gimme some beat in life!

Tore on sinust midagi kuulda. Eile just kurtsin oma perekonnale, et sa pole ammu messengeris olnud ning ma pole saanud sinuga suhelda. Tore on lugeda, kuigi nohh...mu inglise keele oskus annab siinkohal soovida, kõigest ei saa siiski aru. Aga ma püüan. Miks on teid nii harva suhtlusprogrammis kohata? Tahaks lobiseda.
