Moonlight Swim

Finland in ’59, and Tuula Siponius sings Kuutamouintia. The Elvis version in Blue Hawaii (1961) is not as good; it doesn’t have a duck and is filmed in sunlight. Below, more music from the long dark Finnish winter of 1959.



Seija Karpiomaa, Vanha Mustalainen, (The Old Gypsy).



Anna-Liisa Pyykkö & Ingmar Englund, Kaikki alkoi sinun kanssasi, (It all started with you).



Vieno Kekkonen, Tuliharja, (Brush Fire).
