Interesting take. Never heard the Animals do Paint it Black. I listen to a few other video on the side. There was one he did with war. Is Eric Burdon still alive?

Very good Johnnypee,
Never heard this one. Easy Stars is the name of the band?
It reminds me of a cd I have of the Rock Opera of Tommy done in Bluegrass wasn’t bad.
I hope I can get this reggae of Sgt. Pepper

Good morning Howard – I had Sky Pilot as single then on a greatest Animals cd. So the same.
A Great Song !!! Will have to it out. You never that song played. Not that I listen to radio anymore. They do a good version of it. Thanks for providing. Terrible day in New Jersey pouring rains. Dogs will not like it. Talk with you later.

Hey Howard – I agree with you. When you mention the Animals. My mind jumped to my favorite song by them. This was the Vietnam era. A lot of protest in the states. On song that stuck in my head was Sky Pilot. The worst to that song was so powerful. About a priest who blesses the soldiers before they go out to war.
He blesses the boys as they stand in line
The smell of gun grease
and the bayonets they shine
He’s there to help them all that he can
To make them feel wanted he’s a good holy man
Sky pilot,
Sky pilot,
How high can you fly?
You’ll never, never, never reach the sky.He smiles at the young soldiers
Tells them it’s all right
He knows of their fear in the forthcoming fight
Soon there’ll be blood and many will die
Mothers and fathers back home they will cry
Sky pilot,
Sky pilot,
How high can you fly?
You’ll never, never, never reach the sky.He mumbles a prayer and it ends with a smile
The order is given
They move down the line
But he’ll stay behind and he’ll meditate
But it won’t stop the bleeding or ease the hateAs the young men move out into the battle zone
He feels good, with God you’re never alone
He feels tired and he lays on his bed
Hopes the men will find courage
in the words that he said
Sky pilot,
Sky pilot,
How high can you fly?
You’ll never, never, never reach the sky.You’re soldiers of God, you must understand
The fate of your country is in your young hands
May God give you strength
Do your job real well
If it all was worth it
Only time it will tellIn the morning they return
With tears in their eyes
The stench of death drifts up to the skies
A soldier so ill looks at the sky pilot
Remembers the words
“Thou shalt not kill.”
Sky pilot,
Sky pilot,
How high can you fly?
You’ll never, never, never reach the sky. -
Hey Jung,
Roger sort of came into his vocally and his singing identity once the who made Tommy.
He is a great singer and doesn’t get the credit he should. Listen to the bass lines in the songs
I always thought John Entwistle was the best bass player. My opinion. When the camera is on him Watch both of his hands . He had these nicknames. The Ox, Thunder Fingers. He was amazing. Townsend had a showmanship like no other with hi windmill and power chords.

Jacki , That’s cool that your brother had such an influence on you when it came to music.
You have mention a few time of their collection of music. Did they play at all?

Hey Jung,
Yea they were a crazy dynamic group. I saw them do that a couple times at the Filmore. They eventually had to stop the destruction. I the beginning when they did all this it was costing them a ton of money to fix,replace instruments. When you destroy drum kit and guitars and amps. You end up not making a profit. The manager Kit Lambert did not help the cause he encourage it.
This group was fantastic life after they stop destroying their equipment. Keith was to me the best drummer in rock and a lot of people would argue the point. I’ve see the Who over 2o times. Pete Townsend is a great writer and have created some master pieces in Tommy and Quadrophenia , Who Next and Live at Leeds.

John , Big Red is the best athlete out of everybody . Winner the tripe crown is that an easy feat. But to do the Belmont and win it by 31 horse length is truly amazing. And will never be repeated. The movie was excellent. No human athlete can match that. One o f a kind.

Live version My Generation – John Entwistle best bass player to me. Also born on John Lennon Oct 9.. Keith Moon one of the best Rock Drummer. The best in my eyes.

Hey Lisa, Let me see Jimi would sing the following — Going down to shoot my old lady
You know I caught her messing around with another man. A lot of artist have done this song.One of my favorites.First how are you Lisa?
Yes I am glad I have joined your club. You have a lot of nice and loyal fans. One of my loves of life is music. I have always loved it. Not a big fan of New York anymore. But in my teens the 60’s and 70’s in New York was a great place to be. I have attended a lot of great concerts seen a ton of artist. I could not list them all. I love passing on my knowledge of music.
That’s one of the reason I love what you and Mona are doing. As each generation passes. Music from other era’s get lost and buried. You and Mona have been able to revitalize this music and are presenting it to new generations and making the people that lived through that era happy again. I was hooked on the British Invasion. I loved all the groups. But the three that stood out to me were The Beatles, The Who and The Kinks. If you listen to their first album to their last. They always progress which makes then ever lasting and great in my book.
I glad that MLT are doing your own music. That’s important you progress. I think you both have talent to do your own music too. I enjoy listening to When We’re Together and Orange. I feel you have progressed from Together to Orange. I hope someday the world gets back to normal. What ever that is. Then the Mona Lisa Twins can do some touring. I hope you make it to the States. And I can get a chance to see you perform live. Until then I’m just playing my guitar and making my dogs happy. Especially my howling dog Abbey…
Peace, Love, Groovy and God Bless.
Me
PS If you get a chance listen to Blackberry Smoke. They are Southern Rock. Let me know what you think..
