Kesäillan valssi

According to today's on-line Ilta-Sanomat, the popular music and dance programme Kesäillan valssi (which means Summer Evening Waltz, though only some of the tunes featured are waltzes) is coming off Finnish tv after 20 years. Every week during the summer, it would visit a different rustic dance pavilion, where a well-known singer would perform and members of the public would dance. There are lots of clips on Youtube, such as this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jswTRK8uEKE (note that the synth has harmonikka buttons instead of the usual piano keys). This one is not a tango, but sounds strangely familiar: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9hUHROSITQ

It was a happy, innocent little programme, presumably cheap to make. I will miss it, and so will many Finns.
