I didn’t want to offend any Beatles fans as anything touted better is sacrilege for some, and so I avoided using that verbage in the social media posts, but to be honest and objective MLTs version to me is more moving, and progressive. I can understand Paul, George and Ringo not wanting to depart too much from John’s original vocals, but MLT in their usual genius and visionary interpretation has really taken this to a higher more inspired level, all while keeping true to that hauntingly beautiful cassette recording John created. Whereas the Beatles version is a tribute to John, MLTs interpretation explores the full potential of what John created adding the incomparable harmonies of Mona and Lisa. I think John would be super proud of how MLT honored his creation and made it sound so absolutely wonderful.
As Jackie so eloquently stated, there is no right or wrong here, there is good music and bad music, and this one is soooooooooo goooooooood!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Blows me away.

Here Tommy Emmanuel plays two songs at the same time on the guitar.

I am really enjoying the new song “I Don’t Mind”, it has such a charming catchy feel to it. The singing and Ukelele is irresistible, and it has a wonderful beat. I can’t help but tap and move to the beat. Will love to see a Duo Session video of it.

My Duo Session 2 CD and merch arrived today! It sounds so wonderful on the stereo. Song after song the sheer beauty is overwhelming. 💕
The calendar is awesome with so many gorgeous months to look forward to in 2024! Love the new MLT journal, such high quality with high grade 90 GSM paper! 👍😁
Did anyone notice the “Count on Me” reference?

Hi Dave,
I thought the video was really well done too, in keeping with the title of the song, it captures the 60s feel with the psychedelic effects with Kaleidoscope of colours, ultra cool colored shades, all sets a positive groovy vibe which is what the song reminisces back to.

Hi Chris
Oh I love Beethoven’s Symphony No 7 second movement. It has such a sombre feel of a tragedy, but expressed so beautifully, which is what Beethoven is a genius at. He takes you through such a powerful and moving emotional journey in his symphonies from the depths of despair to triumphant joy, and some of the dark brooding moments he encapsulates in amazing beauty to lift your spirts up. This piece is exactly that, and the piano transcription is wonderful.
Another one I really love is Bach’s Adagio, which is one of his most beautiful pieces. It is in the same vein as Beethoven’s 7th Symphony, expressing a haunting emotion but so beautifully. This is a transcription of Marcello’s Symphony to keyboard by Bach, and Bach has transcribed it so wonderfully, that it is more famous and renowned than Marcello’s symphony. Here renowned Georgian pianist Khatia Buniatishvili, who was quite outspoken when the Ukraine conflict broke out, does her most beautiful interpretation. She transformed it into a very modern sound and feel like something composed today. She plays with amazing sensitivity and emotion pushing the piano to it’s most emotional limits. It looks like the music in her head is just magically flowing through the piano.

Hi Tim
Yeah the lead guitarist really pushed his guitar all out, brilliant musicianship all around. That big bass really sounded great too. What kind of guitar is that? Gretsch Country Gentleman? Not only plays wonderfully, but looks grand too!

Hi Jurgen
I think with Helter Skelter, in the Beatles pioneers of music tradition predated Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, Metallica, and Nirvana with this. Probably the first Heavy Metal sound in rock history.
I remember the Knack in the late 70s/early 80s with My Sharona, it was a massive hit. That guitar riff is iconic, and makes that song.

Hi Chris
That should be awesome to take in a Franz Liszt transcribed Beethoven Symphony. I checked out Igor Levit, and he is a very accomplished pianist having won many piano competitions as well as the “Beethoven Ring” awarded by the Beethoven society in Bonn Germany (Beethoven’s home town). I found this amazing performance of the Moonlight Sonata by Igor Levit. I think pushing the instrument to it’s limit is not only about speed, but also can be about squeezing out maximum sensitivity and emotion that the piano is known for. In piano competitions I’ve heard sometimes the most challenging are the slower pieces and being able to move the audience by making every note felt. Igor really expresses the beauty of the Moonlight Sonata in this moving interpretation.

Hi Thomas
Keith Emerson is amazing! He plays blistering fast with such precision. Goes to show it’s not just the classical pianists who can play at this level. Watching him improvise, it’s like the keyboard is an extension of himself as he expresses all that musical passion. To be able to play at that level, I guess you have to be one with your instrument. I did a little research, and it looks like Keith composed his own Piano Concerto that the London Philharmonic performed.

Hi Jurgen
NICE! Love the rock sounds of Deep Purple that energy keeps building and building and towards the end, Ritchie Blackmore and Jon Lord push the guitar and organ. I love when musicians have so much passion to express they reach the limits of their instruments, and yet they some how break the barrier, and you have something magical happen, like here.

Hi Jurgen
MLT Clubbers bring and share so much diverse music here and knowledge, I’ve learned so much. People here have such good taste in music, and that is obviously because we are all drawn here by the amazing music of MLT.
I haven’t seen “Lost In Translation” but I’ve seen the title a lot. Thanks for posting the trailer, it looks like a charming movie, will have to watch it. I think they had it playing in my Netflix for a while. I really like the Roxy Music sound track to it, a great song.

Hi Chris
This image is amazing, it looks like a sad clown face. The infinite worlds that are unfolding at this moment across the vast universe, or multi-verse is mind blowing. That is what is so incredible for me when I see an image from another planet, makes me wonder what secrets and mysteries it holds. I’ve spent days in a desert and there are so many fascinating things to uncover, and to think there are grand canyons in other planets that make ours pale in comparison….it is all just fascinating.
With JWST, we are discovering new worlds and phenomena that is making the scientists go back to the drawing board. I think everyone is holding their breath to one day see undisputable evidence of another life form or civilization from a long time ago. Cosmology is so endlessly fascinating, and I love MLT are interested in all things space and beyond too. Their pretending to know an alien story with one of their schoolmates when they were little cracked me up. Where did you go Janitor Joe.
Thanks for that trajectory mathematical formula generation tool. Looks interesting, will check it out.

Hi Bud
Your school Band and Orchestra sounded like a wonderful musical experience for you students. As I mentioned here before, some of my fondest school memories were in music class when I got to sing in a group, I felt so much joy and beauty. For a lot of kids, like myself, when they go on in life, often they get into careers in other fields, and the music class at school can be the only time they get to experience what it is like to be a part of a band or choir making music. It is such a wonderful experience stays with you and lasts a life time. It is great to perform the many popular movie and TV show music, as they are so rich and diverse.
