My iPhone is supposed to be water resistant. I may test it one day and report back.
Lisa will make the Gretsch Duo Jet the most famous guitar of all time (its started already in this community), not that it isn’t famous already as it was George Harrisons very first “good” guitar and the one he used during the Beatles rise to fame, and remained his sentimental favorite.

Thanks David for letting me know about Harmony Grass. Just listened to the whole album, This is Us, and boy they certainly have that Beach Boys sound, and many songs would be right at home in Pet Sounds and Smile as you said. The orchestral parts in “I’ve Seen to Dream” draw a lot of parallels from God Only Knows I think. I liked “What a Groovy Day” the best. In some of the parts if someone said it was the Beach Boys, I might believe them with their harmonies and vocals. Very nice.

Liked everything you said there John. They do have a an incredible magic touch to songs. It’s not Mona and Lisa can just perform them brilliantly, but its the way they can emotionally grip you with their songs is a special, special gift they have. For example the harmonies and humming in one section of their Starman just pulls you at the heart strings. The longing in the breathtaking singing in The Best Years of Our Lives is another example.
That is their power, the way they can emotionally grip you. They can make you swell up with longing joy, and bring out tears at their best.

Filling this sunday morn silence with the sweet sounds of MLT “If I Needed Someone”, and “Africa”. Such musical pleasure.

David, well I was aware of a Leif Garrett cover of Surfin USA, but yeah even Shaun Cassidy did it. I guess there was a time when they were cool! 🙂 Well those were the days I had crush on Kristy McNichol and now I am really embarrassed.
I think I liked Dave Lee Roth’s cover of California Girls the best.

Here is Paul McCartney and Rolling Stones Ronnie Wood on this song.

I like what Paul says about music and it’s healing power. “…little vibrations reaching your heart”

So where does creativity come from? What do creative artists do?
Well interestingly these creative masters all seem to say the same thing. Have a listen.

Surrendering to their unconscious inspiration. A kind of magic or witchcraft, insight into the divine. Passion. Not trying too hard.

That’s my fave Kinks song too. Awesome and special song indeed! I liken it to MLT “Close To You” in emotion/feel/mood which is one of my faves on Orange.

Wow Howard, you even provided the chords. That sounds like a lot of fun for Mona and Lisa to play. I’m just trying to picture Mona on Tuba and Lisa on accordion. ? It can only be great. I wish I could play so I could try it too.

That was delightfully cute David ?

David, that is a great version of that song they did, and I see they met the Beach Boys (Bruce Johnson) in the day too, as well as Brian Wilson later.
Harmony Grass also reminds me a little of the Kinks as well in the vocals and style. When I listened to their “This is Us” album last night, the Kinks kept popping into mind as well. Perhaps the Beach Boys harmonies with the looks and vocals of the Kinks? Have a listen to the Kinks “Tired of Waiting For You”. What do you think? Thanks for sharing that, enjoyed listening to it.

I like that cool starry background effect Skip! Very nice.
Lisa is quite the Photoshop pro too. I think they will appreciate your art work there.
Welcome to the MLT Club by the way! 🙂

David, I heard this Beach Boys gem that I haven’t heard in ages, and it transported me right back to high school. This was a Beach Boys remake of a Crystals song written by Phil Specter. It was very popular in 1967 everywhere except in the US, reaching #4 in the charts in the UK and all over Europe.

Reminds me whey I liked the Beach Boys so much. Along the lines of Dont Worry Baby, In my Room, and Surfer Girl. Some of those old 60 tunes by the Beatles and Beach Boys like this one were very short, but very powerful and impactful I think.

Those high school days bring a lot of fond memories. ?

I couldn’t agree with you more John. I’ve seen the Beach Boys live 3 times in my life and they put on an incredibly exciting show. In the 70s Elton John made the mistake of having the Beach Boys perform before his show at Wembly as the back up band. The Beach Boys put on such a great show getting the audience super excited, poor Elton John had trouble keeping the pace the Beach Boys created, his show paled in comparison.
If I had a choice between seeing a Beatles reunion or back stage passes to meet the Beach Boys in person after the show versus seeing MLT perform live, I would choose the MLT in a heartbeat.
