So I stopped at a library that was on my way to check maps on the internet and a very helpful librarian lady helped me, printing for me the <span style="font-style: italic;">mappi</span> to go to the furniture <span style="font-style: italic;">kauppa</span>...<br /><br />Then, few months after, I was on the metro, listening to music and thinking about taking some photos of Kauko. I didn't know how and when, but I wanted to... And meanwhile I was <span style="font-style: italic;">mumbling and mumbling</span> who was sitting just in front of me, all of a sudden? ...Him! I didn't want to bother him anyway, asking things, since we were both listening to music...<br /><br />Few weeks ago, the 11th of February, I went to the library in Kallio, (for those who don't know, <span style="font-style: italic;">Kallio</span> is a very poetic/artistic/outgoing/historical quarter of Helsinki) and there I saw a little advert saying something about my favourite Finnish singer, <span style="font-style: italic;">Kauko Röyhkä</span>. The librarian reminded me of somebody... and in fact she was the kind lady I met the day I was driving for furnitures!<br /><br />...So, she explained me that the day after it was going to be Kauko's birthday (<span style="font-style: italic;">syntymäpäivä</span>), 50 years old celebration. And the library was going to set a small "exhibition" of all his cds and books. Since a few months before I had the good chance to listen to a concert by Kauko and also took few photos of him playing, I asked the library if they wanted to show some photos, within the books and cds. And they said "<span style="font-style: italic;">Jooo, kylla!</span>", which in english means "<span style="font-style: italic;">yes</span>" and in italian "<span style="font-style: italic;">si</span>" :)<br />I had just one night to print out those photos. I ran so much all around the city trying to get what I needed on time. And I managed to get good little prints but... running to the shop before closing time I also fell badly on ground, hurting my knees so much! I had to stay home during the next few weeks, to recover soon from the bad accident. But, hey, I also managed to give the pictures to the library, perfectly on time. In pain... but on time!<br /></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JAFw8QlSEPQ/SbcSI1BMdOI/AAAAAAAACR8/BnLAsygSFyw/s1600-h/Kauko+R%C3%B6yhk%C3%A4+1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 299px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JAFw8QlSEPQ/SbcSI1BMdOI/AAAAAAAACR8/BnLAsygSFyw/s400/Kauko+R%C3%B6yhk%C3%A4+1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311734228387132642" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_JAFw8QlSEPQ/SbcSIixDrGI/AAAAAAAACRs/3MkiPlClENU/s1600-h/Kauko+R%C3%B6yhk%C3%A4+3.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_JAFw8QlSEPQ/SbcSIixDrGI/AAAAAAAACRs/3MkiPlClENU/s400/Kauko+R%C3%B6yhk%C3%A4+3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311734223487609954" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_JAFw8QlSEPQ/SbcSI8bmKRI/AAAAAAAACSE/q9NxqY-XnNI/s1600-h/Kauko+R%C3%B6yhk%C3%A4+12.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 319px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_JAFw8QlSEPQ/SbcSI8bmKRI/AAAAAAAACSE/q9NxqY-XnNI/s400/Kauko+R%C3%B6yhk%C3%A4+12.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311734230376917266" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JAFw8QlSEPQ/SbcR5dAXCZI/AAAAAAAACRk/yp27baySJAM/s1600-h/Kauko+R%C3%B6yhk%C3%A4+15.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 326px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JAFw8QlSEPQ/SbcR5dAXCZI/AAAAAAAACRk/yp27baySJAM/s400/Kauko+R%C3%B6yhk%C3%A4+15.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311733964243143058" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JAFw8QlSEPQ/SbcR5M5z0GI/AAAAAAAACRc/WdEoq6xsnYg/s1600-h/Kauko+R%C3%B6yhk%C3%A4+11.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JAFw8QlSEPQ/SbcR5M5z0GI/AAAAAAAACRc/WdEoq6xsnYg/s400/Kauko+R%C3%B6yhk%C3%A4+11.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311733959920701538" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_JAFw8QlSEPQ/SbcR41ZSKLI/AAAAAAAACRU/qjc0pnruP6w/s1600-h/Kauko+R%C3%B6yhk%C3%A4+9.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 265px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_JAFw8QlSEPQ/SbcR41ZSKLI/AAAAAAAACRU/qjc0pnruP6w/s400/Kauko+R%C3%B6yhk%C3%A4+9.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311733953610262706" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JAFw8QlSEPQ/SbcR49qd1dI/AAAAAAAACRM/iiA6mbb_6Q4/s1600-h/Kauko+R%C3%B6yhk%C3%A4+8.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 280px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JAFw8QlSEPQ/SbcR49qd1dI/AAAAAAAACRM/iiA6mbb_6Q4/s400/Kauko+R%C3%B6yhk%C3%A4+8.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311733955829814738" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_JAFw8QlSEPQ/SbcSTLfSJQI/AAAAAAAACSU/pgAVK3327j4/s1600-h/Kauko+R%C3%B6yhk%C3%A4+5.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 346px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_JAFw8QlSEPQ/SbcSTLfSJQI/AAAAAAAACSU/pgAVK3327j4/s400/Kauko+R%C3%B6yhk%C3%A4+5.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311734406217606402" border="0" /></a>...A few days after I got an email from the librarian, advising me to watch on tv (which I don't have) or on the internet a program called "<span style="font-style: italic;">Strada</span>", made by the <span style="font-style: italic;">Tv1</span>. Wow!<br />And... what happened in the program? They interviewed Kauko in Kallio's library! And also showed him looking at the small photo exhibition, being very satisfied.<br /><br />Nice coincidendes/story, no? I really felt happy about the whole happening and I'm planning to contact the mighty Mr. Röyhkä soon.<br /><br />Thank you for the patience my dear viewers and readers. <span style="font-style: italic;">Moi moi.</span><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5242657371045514317-7747047074097547325?l=kaukoroyhkaphotos.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Emilianonoreply@blogger.com
