A very warm welcome David, and it is really great to have you here. Enjoyed what you wrote and agree with all you said. Mona and Lisa are just really, really good people!!!

When I first heard ACDC Thunderstruck, Bach’s famous Organ Toccata and Fugue immediately came to mind. If you compare the ACDC guitar riff from the very start that continues pretty much throughout the whole song, it sounds very similar to Bach’s organ piece from the 1:20 mark of the youtube video. That counterpointing whether by Angus Young’s electric guitar or Bach’s Organ just puts me in a zone.

Its sad what happened to Angus Young though with his affliction of Alzheimers and untimely death.

Thanks Jacki and Howard! Certainly thankful for all the special people in my life, including the MLT and the people at the Club here.
Got some work travel to do this coming week and will be heading out on Thanksgiving day by car stateside, so turkey dinner will likely be at a roadside restaurant somewhere this year. Love road trips, so I don’t mind that at all, especially when the company is paying for it! 🙂

One thing that is very special about the 3, Bach, Mozart, and Beethoven is that not only were they genius composers, they were incredible musicians, the best in their day. Mozart was a prodigy on the keyboard as was Bach. Beethoven was a powerful pianist, the absolute best in his day, when he was young before he became deaf. He kept breaking the strings on the piano, so they had to get him a special Broadwood piano from London that were the best then that could withstand the passion and fury with which he played. They were quite similar to the great guitarist song writers today.

That’s awesome Tomas, and great poem there Jacki. Well its official where I am, MLT Club just turned one! Happy Birthday MLT Club!??????

I agree Howard, reminds me of Mona and Lisa’s art. I think their art can easily belong in any art exhibition. That last one with the bird reminds me of Lisa’s Bad Hair Day, and that Edvard Monchs like Mona’s Winter Silhouettes.

Perhaps that’s why I can’t get enough of a young Lisa playing this one.

So after all that, in case you wanted to hear that great magically inspired McCartney song done to beautiful perfection by Mona and Lisa, I present it here for your convenience.
MLT cover does this Beatles masterpiece supreme justice.

Howard, if they let me have a Mustang for the road trip, there is a good chance I may disappear on route 66 for a few weeks and not even show up at the event. 🙂
Wow that sounds like an awesome getaway out in the mountains and house sitting some wonderful animals. Enjoy and have a great road trip on your Moto Guzzi California.

I love the Greensleeve melody Mike! Have a listen to this classical piano interpretation of it.

The orchestral part in Whiter Shade of Pale is awesome, and I can feel Bach there. I will have to listen to Blackmore’s rocking version of Beethoven’s “Ode to Joy”!
-
David Edmunds playing is brilliant Howard, and very classical too. Yes, I can just imagine Lisa lighting up her Duo Jet with this one!
-
Oh yeah in Ritchie Blackmore’s Highway Star I can hear that Bach sound in that one section of the guitar riff. And Jon Lord is an amazing keyboardist, and I can see him getting inspiration from some of Bach’s keyboard works.

Jacki, I can only remember singing in public once since music class in elementary school. It was back in 2006 when I went to Korea to visit some relatives with my brother and his wife. They took us out to a Karaoke bar. Now in Asia Karaoke is taken extremely seriously it seems. There is a machine that rates your singing. It must use an algorithm that measures how accurately you say the lyrics and keep up with the beat and checks to see if you are in tune more often than not I think. Anyway everyone was getting scores around 4 to 7 on a 1 to 10 scale. When my turn came up, I chose to sing Scott McKenzie’s San Francisco, and I scored a 10. I think all the stars lined up for me that evening, as I could never sing like that again since. Or perhaps my uncle promised the DJ to buy him a few drinks if he made the machine give me a perfect score, because I resisted going up there to sing when my turn came up. 🙂
