Here is a fun video about reaction to Beatkes Sargent Peppers to a random sampling of elders today. Universal appeal of Beatles melody is amazing.

Great poem Jacki to welcome the new members!

Your MLT bus montage is perfect skip! Love it.

Color My World is one Chicago’s most beautful songs with it’s simple and gentle piano and guitar riff throughout. I can imagine the beautiful instrumentation magic MLT could do with this along with their harmonies. There is even a beautiful flute solo at the end for Mona.

Howard, I think we could all fit into the bus. MLT and all the fans here!
Or maybe we may need a few more of these to form an MLT Magic Mystery Tour convoy.

Howard, that’s a great insight into the song. It’s like John Lennon’s “Norwegian Wood” that was about his frustration of not getting his way with a girl one evening, and he is singing about burning down her house at the end. I think you mentioned that on another post previously. It seems some of the Beatles songs have a very unexpected and somewhat simple and rudimentary inspiration behind it, but has turned into something so much greater for so many people. As trivial or inconsequential the origin of the songs may be, the Beatles were masters at taking the listener into the state of their mind through their music. Whether it is Paul’s “Got To Get You Into My Life” or John’s “Norwegian Wood”, there appears to be great passion I think behind it, and they expressed it so masterfully in their song. Taking the listener into the “mental state” of the song writer. That is why their music is so powerful.

Hi David. I remember hearing Paul McCartney doing this song in the 70’s as McCartney and Wings and always thought it was a McCartney solo song from the 70’s until I got Revolver and discovered it was done much earlier in the 60’s as a Beatles song. Here is a performance of this song by Paul in 2011 at the White House for President Obama that I hope captures some of that amazing energy you experienced at that show in the 90’s.

Howard, David. I agree, some of those Righteous Brother’s hauntingly beautiful harmonies I can imagine would be so beautiful by Mona and Lisa.

When I hear this one I cant help but think this one song very well may have been a launchpad for a whole sub-genre of music style for bands like Chicago, Boston, Little River Band, ELO, Doobie Brothers, Steve Miller, Eagles…etc A testament to how innovative the Beatles were.

A big welcome Paul, so glad you joined us! I think many here discovered MLT through “You’re Going to Lose That Girl”. Mona and Lisa just knocked that one out of the ball park! I’m hooked on Nothing Is In Vain too. Just an awesome song.

Skip. Australia is one place I’d like to visit one day, as it is so different from Canada and literally on the other side of the planet. Even the animals are so drastically different. Perhaps I can bring along a Canadian Beaver and Canadian Goose to do an animal exchange for a Kangaroo and Koala Bear. 🙂 I bet Howard has never met a real Canadian Beaver in person! 🙂

In honor of all the great guitars mentioned here, there is nothing better than watching Mona and Lisa do their magic with this wonderful instrument.

Well Daniel, I would say some of the greatest guitarists of all time would agree with you about the Stratocaster.
From a guitar article about the strat:
“Eric Clapton – Everybody’s favorite guitar hero, Clapton has played the Stratocaster since 1970. His first Strat, named “Brownie” was featured on the original recording of “Layla.” His guitar “Blackie,” was made of parts from 3 different guitars and was ultimately sold at a charity auction for $959,500 in 2004. His own nickname, Slowhand was given to him by producer Giorgio Gomelsky and is the title of the album that contains “Lay Down Sally,” “Cocaine,” and “Wonderful Tonight” three of Clapton’s most popular singles. The first model in the Signature Series was the Eric Clapton Signature Strat. Sorry to say, you missed Sam Ash’s exclusive Eric Clapton Antigua model in a beautiful off white Antigua finish with part of the proceeds going to the Eric Clapton Crossroads foundation, but you can still get the Eric Clapton Signature Stratocaster and the Eric Clapton Custom Shop Stratocaster. Both guitars are built to Clapton’s exact specifications and feature a soft “V” shaped neck, block tremolo, and Vintage Noiseless Pickups. Owning either is like being invited by Eric Clapton to take one of his favorite axes.
Jimi Hendrix – possibly the most influential blues/rock guitarist of all time, Jimi Hendrix is closely associated with the Fender Stratocaster. A lefty, he turned his right handed Stratocaster upside down and reversed the strings. He owned many Strats during his career and gave many away as gifts. One of his 1968 Stratocasters with a sunburst finish sold at a Christie’s auction for $168,000. There is no Jimi Hendrix artist or signature model, but if you want to be Experienced with his guitar, get a white Squier Classic Vibe ’60s, a Fender Classic Series ’60s Strat, or the Fender American Vintage ’62 Stratocaster Reissue, play it through a Marshall Stack, with a Vox Classic Wah Wah pedal, a Dunlop Jimi Hendrix Fuzz Face Distortion Pedal, and Dunlop UV1 Univibe Effect Pedal (for that Leslie rotating speaker effect). If, like Jimi, you are a lefty, also consider the Hal Leonard Picture Chord Encyclopedia for Left Handed Guitarists and the Hal Leonard Guide to Left Handed Chords for Guitar to help your technique.”

Well Skip, it takes special talent and a creative mind to visualize something wonderful like this. Impressed with your creation here!

That’s brilliant Skip, right down to the Gretsch and Ricky! And love Lambi Bampi Boooo David!
