That’s a great song Howard. I never really payed enough attention to Burton Cummings as a solo artist, but he wrote some great songs like this one. Just listened to the lyrics carefully here to this song for the first time and a nice message in it.

Howard, with the kind of shave cuts they do to the army recruits, it must have been quite the traumatic shock! I guess back in those days the draft was a reality for a lot of young people. In Canada there was no draft ever that I can recall, but the South Korean government sent draft notices out for my brothers and our uncles in Korea had to get the records straightened out to show we were no longer residents there and all became Canadian Citizens.
My favorite Canadian rock band was The Guess Who. Those guitar riffs! MLT could do wonderful justice to this one in a live jamming session.

Oh yes the 70’s was indeed a musical time for me. I was in my teens and high school, but I remember a lot of great music happening then. For me there were the Beach Boys, and Beatles, and having two older brother I got to experience all their records they use to buy. Peter Frampton, Jethro Tull, Led Zeppelin, Al Stewart, Pink Floyd, Supertramp, Moody Blues, Chicago… come to mind from my oldest brother.
With my friends we use to listen to a lot of Elton John, Eagles, Doobie Brothers, ELO, Steve Miller Band, REO Speedwagon etc…
And then there was my other brother who was 3 years older than me and was into the harder rock and was in a rock band in high school. He and his band use to get together and play in the basement (I swear many nails must have come loose in the house in the few years they use to play when the parents went out). BTO was one of their favorites and remember hearing this one all the time they use to do.

Team MLT as their creative juices flowed back then, and continues to flow today as they work on their new music and projects.

And the MLT will change the world through their music they write.

Power of the pen
Testimonies draw attention to the power of cursive handwriting. The film Saving Private Ryan made famous the historical Bixby Letter written to the mother of sons killed in the American Civil War….Ongoing interest in the letter through history suggests how human handwriting conveys personhood, care and captures imagination.

Here is an excerpt from an article about handwriting.
In our own era, Malala Yousafzai, the youngest Nobel Peace Prize laureate ever, reminds us:
“One child, one teacher, one book and one pen can change the world.”
Although Yousafzai first came to global attention via blogging, through her book Malala’s Magic Pencil she suggests a connection between the elegance and craft of a child’s handwriting and their personal agency.Yousafzai’s handwriting has become a symbol of her advocacy. It demonstrates the power of written literacy, its intimate relationship to human identity and existence and its potential to remind the world of ultimate belief in human agency for good. Generations before, the young diarist Anne Frank did the same.
Our society impoverishes children if we don’t learn from those who have gone before us. People who learn how to spell and to develop legible, fluent handwriting will have tools at their avail to confidently express themselves and circumvent inconveniences like losing power on one’s digital device.

When I came across this of Mona and Lisa handwriting lyrics for their song “That’s Life” here recently, my heart jumped for joy. Such elegant prose in ink and dip pen! And we’ve all witnessed what they can do with hand sketching with a pencil or ball point too. So in honor of that, here is some more info about the magic of handwritten correspondence.

I haven’t had too much exposure to Monty Python, but I’ve always enjoyed British humor in movies like Peter Sellers “Pink Panther” with Inspector Clouseau, and the more recent movies featuring Mr Bean. Just too hilarious!

Hi Angelo. It was nice to meet you here and enjoyed your valuable input at the Club, and hope to see you again online in future MLT correspondence. For me the Club has always been a great way to help support Mona and Lisa in their music creation journey, and not an end in itself as an entertainment service. The content MLT provide and the opportunity to interact with Mona and Lisa directly and the fellowship with other fans is top notch.
New music and album creation at the high quality MLT do them is time consuming and I’m glad we have the Club to be able to support them through.

Two For The Show was another beautiful ballad hit of theirs. I could imagine Lisa wailing some of those guitar riffs on her Gretsch.

Just saw this one now, and that was hilarious Howard!
Love the Monty Python humor! -
Jacki, I had a listen to some Glass Tiger music on youtube and they were quite the great 80s band. “Don’t Forget Me”, “Some Day” were some real 80’s gems I recall. Didn’t realize they were a Canadian band. Great sounds. That would be an interesting DVD to watch about the Canadian music scene. Among the great Canadian rockers, Bryan Adams was/is one of the best, originating right from my backyard of North Vancouver, and he went to a rival high school not too far away. In the early 90’s I even saw him across the street from where I work in gastown at a coffee shop I frequented. Just in jeans and jean jacket came in to the coffee shop to talk to the lady owner whom I guess was a friend of his. He had a studio setup not too far away.
Here is a great Bryan Adams thowback to the 60’s sound with some raw guitar playing.

I can see the video was filmed in Vancouver with the familiar north shore mountains in the background.

That’s a nice one Howard! Carly Simon has a great voice. I like her You’re So Vain and Anticipation.

Jacki, David. From Elementary school, the lessons I remember the most were the music classes. We had one music teacher in the whole school, Mr Stevens, who ran a very strict class though. There was to be no slacking or fooling around. He on his piano or Ukelele and all the kids singing, we made some beautiful music. Or at least it felt so beautiful singing them. Around Christmas time it was all the Christmas Carols that were so sweet. I think music and art is such an important curriculum that too often get cut in favor of science and math, but when there is nothing interesting to read or listen to, what is the point of all that science and math and engineering!
Petula Clark’s Downtown is one of my favorites, because in the 60’s I remember it was one of the few songs my mom use to sing when it came on the radio or on TV, in her somewhat broken english back then. All the 60’s pop culture was quite the fascination to my mom and dad who were in their 30s then. I remember my mom had her hair styled like Marlo Thomas of the 60’s comdy “That Girl”, which was one of my mom’s favorite TV shows. I’m guessing now she might of liked the main star Ted Bessell a little who co-starred with Marlo Thomas as her beau. 🙂 Petula Clark’s Dowtown just brought back volumes of memories just now. 🙂 What music can do. It always makes me feel good when I hear this one, and I can see why my mom liked it back then in the 60’s.
