CGOW - Petri Hakala (3588 words)
I met Petri in 1989 on my first visit to Finland to play at the Haapavesi and Kaustinen Folk Festivals, and have jammed with him on/off stage on numerous occasions.
Petri's initial musical iniation was on electric guitar (rock n roll), from which he soon shifted over to acoustic and bluegrass music, first on guitar and then moving over to mandolin and playing in a Finnish bluegrass band called Speed Limit.
Q - A question for Petri; I could be wrong but I think that more Finns per capita play an instrument and traditional music than us here in the U.S. A - I´m afraid I don´t have any specific knowledge on this.
