Hi Paul. Welcome to the club. Not only will you find the best music here, but also the best music fans. Plenty to see, hear and do in the MLT Club!

Well done again David. I won’t be able to listen to this song the same way again.
As for the prudish, I think they’ve done well with your original last line.

Well done Jacki. Another winner there!

Lovely sounding guitar Tomás. Thanks for sharing.

I think I know what you mean Mike, The MLT are certainly making these songs their own. I remember in the sixties, many early Rolling Stones recordings were covers of blues classics which I heard first via the Stones, so for me, they were the originals (‘Little Red Rooster, ‘I’m a King Bee’, ‘Mona’, ‘Cry to Me’ etcetera). The same goes for many early Beatles records like “Please Mr Postman’, ‘A Taste of Honey’ ‘Twist and Shout’, ‘Words of Love’, and many more.
I guess today, there would be many people younger than us, who would similarly be hearing these MLT covers before the originals. Well done Lisa and Mona for reviving some of our favourite music in such a fun and positive way, introducing your own uniqueness and interpretations, while preserving the integrity of the originals!

Thank you Jung. The young man who served me at ‘Pen and Paper’ was very helpful. He had loads of ink bottles and some nice fountain pen friendly journals I’ll be considering in the future. In the meantime I’ll be using the pad he recommended to trace over the alphabet lettering card that was included. This will be me learning to write again!
I’ll be looking forward to purchasing the special adapter for bottled ink when my writing skill improves. He had some lovely goose feather quills on the counter too!

Well Jung, you’ll be pleased to know I’m now the proud owner of my first new Lamy fountain pen. A Lamy Safari Red I’m calling my Lisa Red. My next addition will be my Mona Yellow.
I’ve been on a 25 km bicycle ride beside our beautiful river and have just stopped for a refreshing beer on the way home.
It is a very pleasant 26c late Autumn (Fall for our American members) evening (5pm) with clear blue skies in beautiful BrisVegas, down under!

I haven’t checked out the MLT Shop for a while. Just maybe they’ve added something new lately, if they’ve managed to find the time while being very busy working on that new album! This is my order from last year. I’ve since added a white (Orange) T-shirt.
-
A nice selection of CDs to add to the ever expanding collection. looking forward to the next album of originals!
-
You can never have too many MLT mugs. The photos don’t do them justice. They are quality products with lovely colourful pictures!
-
Always nice to share MLT products and merchandise.

Thanks for this Jung. I’ll definitely be checking them out this week. Funny how I didn’t check my own backyard out first. I was intending to eventually though. The two shops are fairly close, in parallel streets.

Hi Jacki. I just received the following reply from Germany:
“Dear Mr. Bedwell,
thank you very much for your e-mail.
Unfortunately we only deliver to Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
Kind regards / Mit freundlichen Grüßen

LAMY Shop GmbH”
However, I think Jung has given the best contacts for you in Canada.

That’s an awesome pen of yours Jung.
Now why does the MonaLisa GIF remind me of Mr Squiggle? I know this is getting off topic, but it wasn’t just children who loved Mr Squiggle! Worth googling if you have the time.
“Mr. Squiggle (originally also known as Mr. Squiggle and Friends) is an Australian children’s television series, and the name of the title character from that ABC show. The show was presented on television in many formats, between its inception on July 1, 1959 and 1999, from five-minute slots to a one-and-a-half-hour variety show featuring other performers, and has had several name changes, originally airing as Mr. Squiggle and Friends. At its height, the program was one of the most popular children’s programs in Australia and toured theatre and conventions, entertaining several generations who grew with the program. It became one of the longest-running children’s programs on Australian television.”
“The basic premise of the show remained the same: children wrote in with their “squiggles” and Mr. Squiggle would turn them into recognisable drawings by connecting lines with his pencil nose. More often than not, the picture would be drawn upside down (Hetherington manipulated the puppet from above by viewing the drawing upside down), and then Mr. Squiggle would gleefully declare, “Upside down! Upside down!”—asking his assistant to turn the picture the right way up and reveal the completed drawing.”
