Yeah John, that would be a beautiful one for Mona and Lisa.

Here is another playlist of MLT songs I had setup on youtube a couple of years ago when I first discovered MLT.  A beautiful trio.

Yes indeed Howard, I hope the MLT will flourish for a lifetime creating beautiful music, as what they do each day make a big positive and important impact on peoples lives everywhere, everyday, compared to being a little cog in an industrial machine like so many of us.

After you mentioned the video was an overdub, which it was, I changed it to a different video from the Ed Sullivan show which is not a lip sync overdub.

Another one of my favorite songs, Time is On My Side (I sing this one every friday, but by Sunday night, it fades away 🙂  .  I also like “You Can’t Always Get What you Want”

Speaking of the 70’s, just taking a tangent from music, does anyone remember Jim from Taxi?  I would say this was one of the funniest sitcom moments from the 70’s.  I don’t think he remembers much of the 70s nor the 60s.

Thanks a lot Howard!  Yes 30 years in one company is quite rare these days.  It’s funny many of the people I work with now are younger than the years of service I have in the company.

With all those features, you’ve sold me on the Apple Watch, and I especially like the emergency service function you described.  Might be something to consider for my dad who is in his 90s.  Anything that will get me even more connected to MLT music anywhere I go is well worth it.  Well my mechanical watch is on my left arm, so there is always room for an Apple Watch on my right wrist and my next birthday comes around before the 2nd Christmas  🙂

Now what do you think of MLTs cover of the Last Time Howard?  A huge Rolling Stones fan neighbor of mine last year was just completely blown away by MLTs cover of The Last Time, and Paint It Black.  Here is MLTs stellar version of The Last Time, and a Rolling Stones great original version, and I have to say MLT do it just incredible justice from the wonderful Lisa guitar riffs (in the videos you can compare Lisa riffs to Keith’s riffs), to Mona’s magnificent lead vocals with that perfect raspy sound.

David, that happens a lot to me too when I listen to the Jukebox, a certain song or song(s) come on and everything has to stop.  Now of course if I was listening to radio or Sirius FM and any MLT tune came on, everything would stop in it’s track.

Last summer I was driving through the beautiful Nicola Valley in northern BC Canada with it’s breathtaking semi-arid ranch country with little lakes, rolling hills, puffy cumulus summer clouds, train tracks packs of cows, sometimes almost right up to the road.  I had Orange piping through the car stereo via my iphone and bluetooth.  “In It for Love”, “Count on Me”, and “Sweet Lorraine” on that one part of the album was just perfection going through this area, I kept hitting repeat between these 3 tracks over and over again.  That day, these 3 songs were my top MLT original songs on my playlist providing the joyful carefree spirit.

3 Beatles gems indeed Howard.  A great little video.

This one is another less known Beatles work that I’ve really gotten into.  Really catch sound.

Say The Word and you’ll be free….have you heard the word is Love….

 

Edited to add:

Oh, you wanted a trifecta. Here are two more on this theme…

-look closely and you’ll see Mick Jagger singing along.

Yes David, I echo what Howard said.   We are all very accepting and respectful of everyone’s individual musical preferences here, all joined in a common bond of love for MLT music and all they do.  MLT have touched us all in many different and profound ways with their music and ray of joy and sunshine they bring to our lives.  For some, they have brought us back to music.  We love to discuss music, of all genre and styles here.

[Jung Roe]

Well David, Abba is not MLT’s cup of tea musically.  Lisa briefly comments about Abba in one of the interviews with Billy Butler.

While Abba was very commercially successful with many hits from the 70’s, they were more of a dance band, survivors from the disco era and evolved over the years.  There were some songs of theirs that stood out at the time, but were not in the same musical realm for me as the Beach Boys, Beatles or the Rolling Stones.

[Jung Roe]

Yes I noticed the lip sync on the Stones version was off.  I found the original performance from the Ed Sullivan show.

[Jung Roe]

Thanks Jacki.  I just love to hear what other’s are really getting into with MLT music on any given day!

[Jung Roe]

Howard, I admire how you embrace the latest technology so well.  Those Apple Watches look cool (saw in a few photos Mona and Lisa wearing what looked like one) and sound interesting.  I’d upgrade to the latest one too if I were in your shoe with an out of action Airpod.  For me I got a new mechanical auto wind wrist watch with 80 hours power reserve (old technology) to celebrate a 30 years work anniversary recently, so I don’t think a new Apple Watch will be on the horizon for at least another couple of Christmas’s.

“Your’re Going to Lose That Girl” cover, MLT nailed it so fantastically, I don’t think any band on the planet will ever be able to top their cover, and if a time machine transported John, Paul, George and Ringo to the present to do this song, they’d get quite the run for the money.

When I heard Glass Tiger – Diamond Sun, Depeche Mode flashed to mind, but perhaps it was just that general 80’s sound I felt that many bands captured so well.   🙂

By the time the 80’s came around and all those 80’s bands like Duran Duran, Thompson Twins, Tears for Fears, The Police, Bananarama, Madonna etc…were in full swing, I was in my late teens/early 20’s and getting into much harder rock like AC/DC, and my baby sister just started highschool and I remember her telling me how Duran Duran was just so huge with all the kids in school.  It sounded like there was a little Beatlemania kind of sensation going on with Duran Duran.  She said in school they use to call the big fans of Duran Duran, “Duran-ies” or something like that.  The music was catchy and I liked it.

[Jung Roe]

If Glass Tiger is one of your top faves Jacki, right up there with MLT, I will have to check them out more.  I just listened to some of their other songs I haven’t heard before and I like their sounds.  Would I be be very far off in your view if I said I feel a little bit of Depeche Mode (my little sisters fave band) style in some of their songs?
