It would be his appearance in Maxwell Silver Hammer as crazy Maxwell for me. He was quite convincing. Impressed with his acting and moves.

Agree Tommy, MLT does great justice to that song with their wonderful harmonies.

You welcome Jacki. ?I am a grammar correction perfectionist or at least try to be and constantly go back to correct things to a fault so use the edit button a lot.

Hi Jacki. If you hover over the “time remaining” text just below the orange reply button, you can get the edit button. I think you have about 24 hours to edit something.

Yes there is nothing like some MLT music while commuting around Jacki. I’m not sure if other’s here are aware of Tim Horton’s but it is a little piece of Canadian coffee/donut culture indeed. Those Timbits are quite addictive for me.

Lisa, another great song you did on the Ukelele was on Billy Butler’s June 7 2014 show, where Billy spontaneously suggests a Patience and Prudence song, and you just casually remark “There is a Ukelele sitting over there..if I could borrow it” and next thing you know, you and Mona knock out a brilliant “Tonight You Belong To Me” on a Ukelele, that just happens to be sitting around in Billy’s office, with your beautiful harmonies. A perfect real time live example of the versatility of the Uke as you say, in the same vein of George Harrison just handing them out for a spontaneous music session at his house with his musician friends.

Music as you said speaks, comforts and listens in a profound way. The melodies, lyrics, harmonies all come together to reach a kind of equilibrium or flash point, and when a song is good, explodes into amazing burst of feelings and emotions.

Sometimes when I hear a song it just brings back volumes of memories, feelings from a certain time in my life. Music is such a fascinating thing that is just so many different things for people. I liked the way Lisa put it, it is a form of communication but in a very profound way. For me music has at times in my life evoked the deepest feelings I’ve ever had. It is incredibly powerful. Some how expresses the inexpressible.
Last Christmas I made up a slide show for a our family Christmas get togethers over the years that I shared with all the family, and I used MLT’s version of “Little Drummer Boy” as the background song, and the slide show came alive. It said all that needed to be said and expressed all the emotions of those moments. A million words could not express what a 3 minute song could.

Some lovely pictures there Jacki, and all in wonderful MLT colors! Out west we have the LaConner Tulip festival just across the border in the US which is quite famous locally, but I missed that one that happened in April. Glad to see some of your MLT groovy vibe tulips there from Ottawa.

Thanks Jacki! I thought the purple ink might appeal to you. 🙂

Nicely said Jacki! Mona and Lisa just continually impress with all they do. Their constant creativity in all aspects of their lives is just inspiring for all of us. I saw a snippet recently on Instagram of Mona watering her plants. I wonder if Mona and Lisa could treat us all one day with any green thumb creations they may have.
