Thanks for sharing those videos Jung and David. Yes, it seems that the Cookie Monster is a great ambassador for Sesame Street and can teach us all a little bit about self control. If the Cookie Monster can do it, we all should be able to do it.

However, I hope no one ever raises with the Cookie Monster the phrase, “a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush”, not that I think he would ever associate a bird with a cookie!

Thank you Rudolf.

This situation probably started around the same time the profile photos disappeared. It may be related to a recent iOS Software Update. I am not that technologically proficient to understand the issues, however, I will do some investigation to see if I can remedy the situation my end.

Thank you for your prompt response.

Just how awesome is baby Mona on drums and vocals here in the MLT’s classic 2007 Live Concert!

Thank you Rudolf. Mine came back a couple of days ago and now all of them are back. It’s nice to have a photo to go with names.

I saw Mick Fleetwood’s current Fleetwood Mac lineup play at the Byron Bay Blue’s Festival a few years ago. He had a great lead singer/guitarist who seemed like a Pete Green Clone. Before they played “Black Magic Woman”, Mick announced to the audience something like, for those of you expecting the Santana version, we play the original Pete Green version, and they did, perfectly.

When it came to the encore, I was extremely tempted to shout out “Albatross” and if I wasn’t such an introvert, I would have. Without announcing it, they played “Albatross”, a sublime finish.

For those of you not familiar with the Peter Green story, you may find the article in this attachment interesting.

Thanks for sharing those stories of your uounger days Matt. I must say they aren’t too far removed from some of the stories I could tell about my twenties in particular. I haven’t been quite ready to go there, apart from one post where I related the story of the day in the early seventies when myself, a couple of brothers and a couple of girl friends were listening to Pink Floyd’s “Dark Side of The Moon”, stoned, while lying on the living room floor, with the stereo turned up exceptionally loud. We got a shock when two police officers appeared at the open door. Well, that story is a topic of it’s own somewhere in the Forum.

I also had some similar experiences to you and your Indonesian friends when I met, through a work colleague from Switzerland, a Korean American who was the most far out there person I’ve ever known. He introduced us to some interesting music and to some interesting experiences through his access to high quality cannibis and hashish. Of course the two went together (the Cannabis and the music). I believe his father was an American soldier in the Korean war and he was conceived in Korea. Compared to us, he was very worldly. One thing he taught us was how to make our own (water filtered) bong out of two plastic cups, a small copper pipe and an aluminium milk bottle top.

It was during these days I was introduced to the music of the likes of Frank Zappa and The Mothers of Invention (whom I saw live in the seventies). Very interesting times indeed. However, these days I get high on the music and videos of the MLT and don’t need the drugs.

David, some people wear rose coloured glasses but our Jacki wears purple coloured glasses.

Even though I was in my late teens when Sesame Street began, I still enjoyed watching it. Great humour at any age as you suggest and great watching it with rug rats! Very educational for youngsters and delivered in a very entertaining way.

[Howard]

Wow Jacki! Now that would really confuse us. A short haired blonde Lisa and a long haired red Mona! I can’t see it happening though. They seem to have had their current preferences since their pre-teens!

[Howard]

Nice picks Stephen and Jung and excellent photos of the very photogenic Lisa. I also like those styles for Lisa. However, in defence of the real Mona Lisa hanging in the Louvre, Jung, I don’t see Lisa’s eyes following me around the room. Perhaps Papa Rudi can remedy that for us in a future photo session of Lisa, and Mona too perhaps.

I also like the hairstyles of both our favourite twins in the Maxwell’s Silver Hammer – Photos. In particular, as seen in photos six and seven .

It’s also the same with my iPhone.

It must be a problem my end. I’m using an iPad.

Over the last few months we have had a considerable number of new members introduce themselves to the MLT Club. Many from the United States, but also from Europe, Canada and Australia.

This was a welcome I posted early in the year that I think all new members may be interested in.

[Howard]

Just how cute is this!

Hi Tim, and welcome to the Club. I discovered the MLT on YouTube a couple of years ago and have been a big fan ever since.

I’m another Club member from downunder, in sunny Brisbane.
