1849: Hasse Walli, aged 16, behind the drums at the sound check in Liljendal with The Nameless. This was to be his last official gig as a drummer, and he soon switched permanenty to lead guitar with The Typhoons, in 1965. He then went professional in 1966, when he joined the number 1 band of that time in Finland, Jormas, having previously only one year of experience as a lead guitarist in a band.
