Hi Skip.  Have you seen this from the archives which takes us back to their Adelaide days, of singing, having fun with friends, and some surfing!

Awesome plan Mona and Lisa!

It wouldn’t be right to keep your music and joy just to ourselves, but should proliferate it to the  millions around the world to discover and experience your new albums and online videos/music.  More original music means bigger and greater repertoire, and more joy to the world, for when you decide the time is right to do live shows again.

David, I would call this the ultimate teaser!  All that great music flashed by in front of you for a few seconds, you want to hear more before it jumps to another.  Quite impressive though to capture all that music in 13 minutes.  Thanks for sharing this.

I think there is an optimal, or maybe a minimal to be correct, interval you can flash something by the brain so it has enough time to process it to recognize and enjoy before moving on.  With visual slide shows I believe it is something like 7 seconds.  Longer than that it feels like the scene drags on, shorter than that it feels like the slide show is too rushed.  I think if they expanded it so we can enjoy each song for at least 7 seconds it would be optimal.  It is about 2 to 5 seconds they play a song here before jumping to the next.  Then it might be Every Beatles song in 39 or 60 minutes I guess.

Yeah, you guys are all in the future for me.   🙂

I wonder if it might be a resource concern to support a private communication platform as well.  I suspect the streaming Jukebox is quite resource intensive itself.

Great points Howard.  I find No Reply is a great song that I discovered since you pointed it out previously.  My favorite Beatles song varies too, but since I was little, “Let It Be” always stood out the most among the Beatles many great songs.  It’s melody and lyrics just sounded like something passed down from the centuries.

Hi Mike.  Thanks for that insight.  I agree, when the Beatles came on the scene in the USA in 1964, their music was just so new and different like no one has ever heard before.  In a span of 6 to 7 years they changed music forever and elevated pop/rock genre to the stature of other genres in music like classical, jazz, country, folk etc. Before the Beatles, rock/pop was not taken seriously by the older generations, thought of more as a fad or “devils” music by some, but today defines what music is by many.

I see some parallels there with Beethoven.  Music was always considered a form of entertainment, and as an art form not at the same stature as the other arts like painting and literature, but after Beethoven, music was considered on par with the other arts.  Bach Concerto for keyboards, Mozart Flute concerto, or Beethoven’s 9th Symphony (Ode to Joy), Beatles Hey Jude,  are masterpieces as great as Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, Shakespeares Hamlet, or Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel ceiling.

Hi Howard.  For myself it would be classical music and Beethoven in particular that inspired me to take up piano lessons a long time ago.  Then another time I remember was around the time I turned 50.  I’ve seen what age can do to people close to me, and turning half a century old had a kind of symbolic impact on my psyche of the last nail in my coffin of passing youth.  I started to feel old.  Then one day I saw YouTube video of a Beach Boys 50 year anniversary tour concert in Tokyo they did the year before.  To see these men, my idols, a band older than I putting on a 2 hour show with that kind of energy and passion made me lose my mortality mood instantly.  I realized with music and passion , there is no such thing as old.  There is just life.  To see bands like the Beach Boys, Rolling Stones, or Paul McCartney, Joh Sebastian, Steve Harley etc continue to do what they do and move people for so many decades is inspiring.

Paul McCartney says…”music is little vibrations reaching your heart”…”that has this powerful effect”… Echoes what Beethoven is claimed to have said in the movie “Copying Beethoven“.  There must be some truth to that statement coming from two musical masters.

That’s the one Howard!

[Jung Roe]

So sorry Howard.  Try this link, and go to the 33 minutes mark.

Let me know if this works.

Great idea about the Instagram message Skip, and here’s to your poetic magic with words Jacki.  

[Jung Roe]

Im not familiar with them, but this song is very nice John!

[Jung Roe]

Thanks Howard!  Oh yes after a sum total of almost 28 years of Mustang’s, it felt like I lost a little of my soul.  My plan at the time was a 3rd Mustang, but other priorities crept in and transportation from pt a to b had to settle with a red Kia Rio for now, though that 3rd Stang is not off my radar.

[Jung Roe]

Indeed Mike, it would be quite the sight to see both of them jam to Club 27!  Guitar heaven!

Check out the scene where he does the Ode to Joy (9th symphony)
