Got my first gig today. Two shows: Live at the Oulu English-Speaking Playschool.
Halloween isn't really celebrated in Finland, except at the international schools so all the kids got dressed up and had some party time together. It was also American international day at the playschool so I got invited to play a few songs with the kids. I played some Johnny Cash, Flaming Lips, Laurie Berkner, Nat King Cole and Van Halen - a pretty good assortment of Americana I think.
So not surprisingly we didn't get any trick-or-treaters tonight. Not that the 5 inches of fresh snow kept them away. Kids in Finland actually do go door-to-door, but on easter (Palm Sunday) and dressed as colorful Easter "witches".

Mmm, nice array of music choices. Did you bring down the house with the Van Halen song you played? Do they even know Van Halen at this point in their young lives?
You should have stuck to the oldies but goodies like:
"Old McDonald Had Farm" and "Bingo", and then hit them with a Hannah Montana song. That would've definitely gotten you some squeals/cheers from your female fan base.
