Nice JP! It must have felt so good playing along to MLT. I am envisioning in your living room, your cats seated too in the audience, indulging in you guitar work. 😜

Here is a beautiful rendition of the Goldberg Variation on the guitar. The guitarist really captures the beauty of this piece effectively. I’ve listened to other guitar versions, but I think this is the best, so expressive and precise. He plays it in such a way he makes you feel every single note. He holds the note like an exclamation.

Jurgen, Dave, I love this discussion. That is a great video explanation of the golden number/ratio that appears in the universe in all different guises in plants, music, structures, chemistry, physics etc…Thanks for sharing that Jurgen. I think what makes Bach great is how he expresses this order found in the universe revealing it’s beauty. Albert Einstein in his study of mathematics and the physical universe finds that beauty in the music of Mozart and Bach and claims to have found inspiration for his mathematical formulas from playing and listening to the music of Mozart and Bach.
I came across this short video that highlights the wizardry in Bach’s music and how he uses mathematics and symmetry to express amazing beauty. It get’s into the musical voices that are unison copies of each other where they play in parallel and are separated in intervals or are mirrored with the notes inverted. It also gets into how Bach takes a strict structured musical form and weaves it together with a free musical voice that together express a kind of heavenly realm and earthly realm co-existing in his music. The speaker really articulates how mathematics and the beauty of order found in the universe is used by Bach in his music better than I ever can in this video. Really intriguing. I hope you like it.
Dave Beck and Eric Clapton version of Moon River is enchanting Dave. Really easy going music I love. Thanks for posting it.

Hi Alex
Welcome to the MLT Club. Just discovered them a couple weeks ago? Well you’ve come upon an amazing treasure trove.

Greetings Marc, welcome to the MLT Club!

Hi Jurgen
Yeah it appears perhaps the Golden Ratio appears in music and other disciplines less intentionally and more as a result of some kind of law of efficiency and beauty or something like that. Even in architecture over the ages the Golden Ratio appear. It’s mentioned in famous structures starting with the Pyramids of Giza, Greek Temples of Parthenon and Apollo, and on and on throughout the ages.

Hi Chris
I like the way you put it, Tommy does indeed get his money’s worth out of the guitar. He squeezes every last precious drop of juice out of that guitar and then some. Talent is amazing.
Yeah taking a classic like Somewhere Over The Rainbow and adding one’s own creativity to make something remarkable is very special.
In the 90s Israel Kamikawiwo gained international fame and recognition for putting his own smile and passion into his cover of “Somewhere Over The Rainbow/It’s a Wonderful World” medley with his ukelele. I posted this in the forum before, but here is another version video.

Hi Jurgen, hope you are keeping well! Seeing that Theremin, I envision walking into a high school physics class, and the teacher has this strange contraption setup to show you how science can create music. The Theremin really captures Somewhere Over The Rainbow nicely evoking some mysterious moods. The first time I experienced the Theremin, or a version of it, without even knowing it was the Beach Boys Good Vibrations. Brian Wilson was pioneering all kinds of new and unique effects in music way back then. Thanks for sharing that video.

Thanks Jacki for sharing the memories of your childhood home. It seems unavoidably the experience of life is bittersweet, but we are all so lucky to have had all the fond moments that were so sweet that make us look back with longing for those moments.

Hi Jerry,
With team MLT, it’s not only their beautiful and amazing music that touch and inspire, it’s the way they create it with so much love and passion, and the wonderful family and people they are. They truly inspire us to aim for a higher bar.

Hi Jurgen
Thanks for highlighting those beautiful lyrics, and letting me go back to experience that beautiful MLT video again, I feel the same way. As chapters in our lives close and we feel sad to have to move on, it’s all about new chapters to unfold, experience, and cherish. But it is so wonderful to have those fond memories of places and people that are precious gems that stay with you forever. When I visit my parents old house, it is bittersweet when the star of those times is no longer here.
In the back of my journal I have a growing entry of inspiring quotes I’ve been collecting, and copy over to the next journal. One of them that stand out for me is how every thing good comes to an end, sometimes tragically, but it was everything in between that was so precious and timeless, all the small moments that add up into incredible fond memories.
“Sometimes love does not have the most honourable beginnings, and the endings will break you in half. It’s everything in between we live for” – Ann Patchett.

Thanks David for sharing the video. It’s exactly how I felt.

Sorry to hear that, my condolences David for your father. Places we called home are so special and come moving day is very hard indeed, because it became a part of your life. The old office I worked at for 30 years downtown, was like a home as I spent such a big part of my life there literally, so the last day I was there, I remember that moment as I left the front door lobby for the very last time, I had to stop and look back and take a moment. If that security camera was the same one that was there in 1989, it would have captured a young 26 years old all nervous and excited walking to work for the first time, and then a 56 years old leaving the same door 30 years later with so many memories and experiences, turning one last time to say an emotional goodbye, and turning off the light.

Hi Jacki
Yeah I remember a while ago you mentioned your father and NASCAR. I haven’t been a live NASCAR event, would love to see one, one day. The NASCAR circuit doesn’t have a track in the Pacific North West I’m aware of, but got a time it right with one of my trips cross border in the future.
