What an awesome collaboration they did with Mike Masse.
When I first got Rubber Soul album, found this gem I wasn’t familiar with so wonderful, and MLT version with Mike Masse is “killer”!

Love the new Studio Scribbles added to the fold. On “Any Other Day”, the two lonely footprints meeting and then walking together is brilliant, captures everything in an image. Seeing these always enriches the WHY? album experience. Will introduce you to my AI buddy “EMO” who loves music and dances to all the songs on WHY? 😁

Missed this post. A belated happy Saint Patricks Day to all. I will fill my fountain pens with Irish Green ink in honour!
I like this Irish song, to get in the spirit.

I walked into a used record store a number of years ago, and as I flipped through some old vinyl’s, the Kinks “Tired of Waiting” came on, and I hadn’t heard that song in decades, and man oh man when those raw guitar sounds came on, and Ray Davies vocals to this somewhat sad and longing song filled the atmosphere of the antique record store, I just froze mesmerized to the sounds that brought back so many wonderful feelings from my younger days when I first heard this song. It was my all time favourite Kinks song, and one of my fave 60s tunes.
A few years ago after I discovered MLT, I remember wishing Mona and Lisa could do their magic on this song, it felt like the 60s rock perfection song with those edgy and hypnotic raw guitar sounds. I even suggested it in one of the forum comments here at the MLT Club. I felt so happy the day they did the Duo Session “Tired of Waiting”. It was sooooo stunning! Watched the video on youtube again tonight and it brought back that wonderful joy I felt when I heard MLTs amazing version for the first time. That is my MLT Joy I wanted to share today.

Here is Glenn Gould playing the harpsichord. I can imagine he could do quite some magic on a Hammond!

Hi Chris
Oh yeah Oscar Peterson is great. Here this is just a true expression of feeling. Those round tones sound so pleasant, just makes you keep wanting to listen, and he makes you feel every single note. What a genius.
Another favourite Canadian musician of mine is Glenn Gould, his Bach is second to none for me. So expressive. In his later years he was quite eccentric, but he was a genius on the keyboard. He always played using this low reclined chair his father made him so that his face could be level with the keys as he played so he can see and feel every single note he played.

Tim, I agree I think their version of A Little Help From My Friends would be amazing. Just that little snippet had me glued.
-
Hi Len
That would be a wonderful venue, and indeed a bucket list dream to see them live and meet them.
-
Hi Tim
Indeed an amazingly cool intimate video where we all get to see how their magic comes together. Their performance of Africa is awesome. I bet their “If I Needed Someone” if it were on Youtube would be crossing the 1M view mark too.

Hi Jacki, It is truly a gem to watch, our music heroes rehearsing in their room. As David said when do we get to see great artists like that. It’s like they invited us into their house.
-
Hi David,
Yeah after their Nowhere Man teaser, I waited for what felt like a real long time for Nowhere Man, and it certainly was worth the wait, what an amazing version.
-
Hi Rick
Yeah their Africa was awesome, and it was the first time we saw Lisa take up the bass guitar. From the rehearsal session I suspect one of the other two songs they did was “A Little Help From My Friends”. I don’t know what the other song would have been.
-
Hi Dave, those are the wonderful decisions to have to make. Hope yours arrive soon.

Hi JP
Wow, that sounded so exhilarating and magical being able to ski down those slopes with the incredible beauty of nature to the amazing music of WHY? I love listening to MLT these days on occasions I’m out on the freeway at night coming back from meeting people etc…I can imagine up on a mountain in nature would be even more joyful. Thanks for sharing that.

Daryl, your gear sounds pretty fun and enjoyable, I say don’t hold back on what brings you passion. I hear in the back of my head that ole Stones song “Time Is On My Side”, I can only hope that is the case for myself HAHAHA.
It sounds like they still use those vacuum tubes in some music equipment like the VOX Amps MLT mentioned still used tubes in the big heavy ones at the Cavern Club. I was quite impressed with all those mechanical moving parts in the Leslie speakers. I don’t think good mechanical designs will go away any time soon. High end watch makers still rely on mechanical movements despite quartz/electronic movements being much more accurate and versatile because there is a beauty and elegance to it that is so appealing that efficiency and miniaturization/digitization will never displace. There is also a tactility with analog/mechanical that digital will never match or replace. Vinyl versus CDs/MP3s, pen & paper versus latest greatest smart device? Modern digital technology has it’s place, but so does sound and proven mechanical/analog technology of the past.
What do Tesla owners want for Christmas? A super, super long extension cord. 😀
