Really enjoyed it! Lot’s of great Beatles songs throughout the movie, making it very special. When “If I Fell” came on, it was all MLT I could think of; just beautiful.

I read John Sebastian was kicking off a concert tour this year, so you never know, he could be doing a venue nearby.
David, I never did social media before until I discovered MLT. First tweet I ever did was to comment on their Twitter site, the same with Facebook and Instagram. 🙂

I love this scene

I like this quote. It’s no wonder MLT are also great at painting/drawing art. It’s just an extension of their remarkable musical talent.
“A painter paints pictures on canvas. But musicians paint their pictures on silence.”
― Leopold Stokowski

A warm welcome Paul, glad to have your here!

Nice! It cheers me up looking at it.

Thanks Jacki. Your many groovy art work was my inspiration for this.

You both look so adorable in that picture with the blond and red streaks. Stephen to your point, in that MG photo shoot and video, Mona and Lisa looked better than many of the finest Hollywood stars from the glamorous heydays of film. I hope Hollywood doesn’t come around and steal them away from us.

Great question Jacki, and loved your insightful response Mona. If a story or idea can be expressed in less words the better, and preference to keep a song short and sweet makes a lot of sense. We see most of the Beatles music and a lot of great songs from that time rarely exceeding 4 minutes. The same concept apply in professional speeches and presentations where short and sweet is much more effective in getting a point across than a long drawn out one. Kind of like watering down a good soup too much and it just becomes bland and loses its impact. I wonder as music progressed through the 70s and beyond, getting longer and longer, how many potentially great songs fizzled out because they were too long.

Thank you both Lisa and Angelo for that detailed explanation and illustrations of the parts. Now when I see Lisa’s Gretsch Duo Jet, I have an idea of what I am looking at, and how it’s customized 🙂

Mike, Howard. I feel the same way. MLT covers are so good, their interpretation have become for me the benchmark by which all others are compared, and often pales in comparison to the MLT. When I heard “When I’m 64” on the Sargent Peppers album, couldn’t help but compare the two versions with the MLT one as the baseline. Glenn Gould’s interpretation of Bach is for many classical music lovers the highest regarded benchmark for Bach’s keyboard works. MLT is to the 60’s music, what Glenn Gould is to Bach for me.

Can’t argue with Rudolph’s explanation. More accurately it would be Leeza I think. 🙂

Beautiful guitar sound, and beautiful playing too Tomas!
