The Tormis piece has text in Estonian and Finnish - we chose Finnish because (at least in this context) it's easier.Jennihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09092293547148458031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5514170975250988310.post-2424632175070252032011-05-14T14:43:41.650-07:002011-05-14T14:43:41.650-07:00Oh, lucky you, singing is such fun!
