998,010 This is fun to watch after reading about the back story on the photo post “Shooting New Music Videos in California”

Jung, Orange is a brand name of amplifiers, and they are just the right shade of Orange
Jeff, you re right about our cat, Tex. He is a pretty kool cat. That skiing photo was practically an accident. I was just taking a selfie. It wasn’t until I got home that I realized the reflection element.
Walter, if you want to see a good demo of a Nitefly, look for videos of Adrian Belew. He is of King Crimson fame. I think he is now an official spokesperson for them.

Hi Marc,
Sounds like a great weekend. These songs are incredible. They have a real classic sound that we’ll be listening to forever.

I love hearing everyone talk about their gear.
Walter, this reminds me of a scene from Big Bang Theory – Sheldon: “Now what kind of computer do you have, and if you say a white one, I’ll slap you”
My electric is a Parker. It’s not a Nitefly, but similar. I think it’s a P-38. It has very low miles and is in showroom condition. It has a kool stereo pickup. I had to get a Y cable adapter which enables you to plug into two amps simultaneously. Oh and it’s a Parker. I really don’t get a chance to play it much lately. I usually just pick up my acoustic. It’s a Takamine. I wanna say it’s black? EF341-SC. It has a nice built in pickup with an EQ. It has really nice action for an acoustic. I always had cheap guitars when I was younger, so these feel like the real thing to me.
My go to amp is a Roland that is just a basic 40 watt amp. It has a preamp out. I also have this old Peavey amp I got when I was sixteen. I think it is 65 watts with two 12” speakers. It was pretty kick ass in 1980. But it’s time for a grown-up amp.
As far as playing out, that would be on my front porch. Although, I will pick up a gig in the back yard some nights to escape the roar of the peepers.
Thanks for all your tips on the Orange amps. A boy can dream.

Hi John,
When We’re Together is not just a great debut album, but a great album altogether. From catchy numbers like the title track, June, Won’t You Listen Now to a little psychycadelia with Dreams and Nothing Is In Vain. Lisa really puts some soul into nothing, nothing, nothing

Here is the isolated orchestra track from “Comfortably Numb”
The guy in the middle is Michael Kamen. He was kinda the Mozart of rock in the eighties and nineties. He worked with a lot of big names and scored a bunch of movie soundtracks.

Thanks for the reminder for August star gazing. When we were kids my brother and sisters would sleep on our back deck in August so we could watch for shooting stars. Well, not every night. I can remember a couple of nights when they were pretty frequent. I think most nights we fell asleep after seeing the first few.
I think I will go out into the night and have a look. “Sounds of Silence” will definitely be on my playlist. That reminds me, I have a Simon & Garfunkel greatest hits on my phone. The original “Sounds of Silence” came on the other day and my first thought was MLT do this song much better. ????
“Vincent” is appropriate for tonight’s viewing. Starry, starry night…

Hi Rick,
I too have landed on that screen before. I found that if I close the browser and open a new browser, I am able to log in like normal.

Hmm, 1966? That would put me at fifteen months old. Wow, so far we are all pretty close in age.
I don’t feel old, I just am.
I saw a great meme the other day. It said,”Why is it that I can remember the lyrics to hundreds of eighties songs, but I can’t remember why I came came into this room?”

Hi Rick Elliott
Welcome to one of best places on the web. I can relate to your enthusiasm. A lot of us felt the same way upon discovering the MonaLisaTwins. It was like discovering gold. There is so much to see and hear, I’m still finding new stuff a year later. I recommend The MonaLisa Twins play Beatles & more Volume 3. Check out their cover of “White Room”. It is amazing. The entire album is amazing!
You are just in time, as there is a new release of original music on the way.

Jung, I love the Mona Lisa colors are on the correct side. We have orange and yellow lilies in front of our porch. My orange lilies blossomed before the yellow ones, (seen above) plus they are on the opposite side when viewed from the front yard. Hmm, the orange ones were first, but the yellow ones were a little taller. Now if I can just get them to blossom at the same time.
Thomas, too bad your are having dry weather. We have had rain for weeks here in upstate New York Our lawn is becoming a jungle.

Michael,
