"I'm Yours" cover reveal MLT wonderful acoustic performance talent early on

Jung: Wow… You ‘ve never had heard of that song before MLT’ s version?!… The song is played quite a bit on a few radio stns here and I’ve always liked it from the getgo… One of the very few rare songs and music that’s currently out there that I like but I do agree with you in that MLT’s version even at their young age when they did it,  clearly indicates the evidency of their gift of musicianship… I enjoy both versions and yes, Jason Mraz’s lyrics for the song is clever and catchy in his own unique approach just like in how the gals gave their spin on it!

Hi Jacki, yes I guess I did not get out much musically then. 🙂  There just didn’t seem to be anything contemporary worth listening to then, until I discovered MLT.   It was about a year after I heard the MLT version before I checked out Jason Mraz official video and other live acoustic performances.  It was a very universally popular song.   Jason Mraz’s version is a much slower ballad with a reggae feel while MLT’s version is faster and more rock and roll.  But it is very interesting that while very different, Mona and Lisa’s version stays true to the charm and essence of Jason’s Mraz’s original version, that it makes me want to listen to it for it’s own merit and unique experience, even at the very early stage in their musical development.

The only times I ever listen to the radio is when I wake up to it, yes, waking up to music is my idea of an alarm clock…. Lol… I don’t really care much for the majority of music type played on it but I like the radio personalities….

The other radio stns, that I’ll hear music from depends where I’m at, Tim Hortons, or another coffee/tea Cafe, grocery stores, shopping malls, once in awhile a  city bus driver will have their own portable radio or…. I’ll get aboard a bus where the bus driver sings, yes you heard correctly, his repertoire is limited… Lol… Has a great voice but he keeps singing same songs over and over anytime I happen to be going on a bus and he’s the driver… As soon as he starts singing, I recognize it’s him…. Lol… There are the odd other singing bus drivers but he ‘s more known for….

I listen mostly to MLT, Glass Tiger, and a few others in my CDs as well as my old school classics of different genres I grew up with as I was influenced by the records my parents had, my older siblings had, what radio stns we had on in the house or car/truck…..

I just know awesome music when I hear it and thoroughly enjoy!!

I enjoyed the radio too.  On occasional sick days in the winter, I’d just stay in bed all day just listening to the radio while I hacked and sniffled under the covers.  The CBC usually, with all their unique and quirky programming.  There use to be an awesome AM station where I live that played a lot of (60’s through 70’s) classics, and on Sundays and late night they played old 1930’s era radio dramas, and all kinds of interesting programs that played on the radio before TV era.  But, about 10 years ago it came under new management and turned into a contemporary top 40 pop station, like we didn’t have enough of those crowding the airwaves already.  Yuck, my radio listening air time took a huge nose dive after that.  I do listen to the CBC or the NPR and BBC on the internet sometimes, but it’s not quite the same as radio over the airwaves with one of these:

Lol… Ah…. The good ol days of hifi stereos, the stereos that came in what looked a long dresser but had lift up door to where then find records and record player inside….. The 8 track tapes Era… Ghettoblaster/Boombox Era…. Portable turntables from the 50s/60s…the old crank up gramophone, jukeboxes, transit er radios, Walkman, I still use a Discman and… I own a cassette tape player/CD player /AM-FM all in one player(It’s not my original one… My actual cassette tape  /AM/FM Player gave up the ghost years back…)…. I do have a portable DVD/CD player I sometimes use for my CDs to play on and a separate CD/DVD player thing to use with my old ancient netbook….. I even still have moreso for putting collectibles of knick knacks and dustbunnues gathering,… An actual even more ancient computer concept…. Tower on with both floppy disc drive and a CD Rom drive… 2nd hand given to me years ago….. Lol

I also still have the last modern at the time stereo system we had bought before the Dept store we bought it at went out of business back in the day, it was a record player with a cassette tape deck and stereo and CD system…

I ‘ve always dreamt to own an old vintage jukebox be it a Wurluzter or something else…. One can dream… The above screenshot is kibda like the old ancient  stereo system we had up until we got a more modern one of the day and had that modern one until our last modern one, the one I still own,….
