The famous banjo-solo by Pete Mandell. When Pekka heard it was going to be the new banjo-solo of the Dutch Swing College Band (originally Arie Ligthart’s showpiece) he immediately constructed a ‘ukulele-version (in the weird half plectrum-banjo-/ half Chicago-tuning adaption to the uke: F C E A). He can almost play it, but not when it was filmed. This is Pekka on the porch of Wendy & Joris’s lovely holiday house at the Taurion Lakeside, filmed by his beautiful wife Ellä Koskeminuun.
