Haven´t heard that! Have to listen that also, you know it was quite recently I listened first time he´s two first solos, really loved them both, they really aren´t that "guitar hero"-albums as I thought! My brother bought in the eighties he´s "Touch Wood" & "Blue Rain"-albums, he made together with Coste Apetrea (Samla Mamma´s guitarist), really long time when I have listened those also. It has been Tasavallan Presidentti where I have listened Jukka the most. I have had long time "the Hook" from him, but it hasn´t been my biggest faves.

^I just watched that. Wow. That's pretty amazing. 40 years ago he would have been featured on the old tv show "real people." Lol. 

Check out the late, great Glen Campbell....this is just insane!!

Surprising he didn’t have a gold flute coz most everything he touched (at least in the 70’s) was gold. Sorry Tom, I disagree, Anderson's bass on Stormwatch was not a patch on John Glascock's; extremely naive playing by Anderson IMHO. Amazing how Anderson as producer brought the bass so much out of to the front of the mix on the tracks he played on, and pushed Glascock's impeccable playing on Orion, Flying Dutchman and Elegy to the back of the mix. Barriemore Barlow actually commented on this in a later interview.

I thought he did an admirable job - considering it’s not his primary instrument. And indeed, Glascock was a fantastic bassist, even in Carmen. I maybe exaggerated a bit, but Anderson is still a bit of a genius.
