Hi Howard, here is the recent interview from last year with Paul McCartney. Fast forward it to the 18:15 minutes mark where he talks about “Let it Be”. Has a special relevance for me.

The whole interview is actually worth a listen where the song writing master himself talk about each of his iconic songs describing his creative process for writing them. I like seeing his dog roaming around the living room while Paul does his interview. You can see he is an animal lover.

Last week on the CBC national news they had a short report on the 50 year anniversary of that famous rooftop concert the Beatles did to promote the Let It Be album. There was a gathering of fans in front of the studio in London to commemorate that event. Its remarkable, the undying cultural legacy the Beatles left. That documentary will be high on my list to watch. Let it Be is one of my all time fave Beatles song. The inspiration behind how Paul MCartney wrote that song after a dream is touching. I can post a youtube link if anyone is interested.

….Melody and Harmony is what you and Lisa do incredibly and remarkably well. It is often sublime when your voices mix!

Jacki, its because….
…and “Good and Positive” energy tend to snowball!

Howard, I couldn’t imagine what 46.6 C must be like. I experienced 40 in Palm Springs CA once, and the golf courses offered free golfing. 28 to 33 in your neck of the woods sound nice. Anyway I spoke too soon, as forecast is for 2 to 4 cm of snow on Sunday in Vancouver, first snow fall of the winter. I think it will be time to chill out with some tea and MLT Jukebox. 🙂

The idea of taking part in a “contest” itself when it comes to something as subjective as music feels somewhat off to us.
Spoken like a true artist Lisa!
While contests might present some value in the amateur realm, its concept I think is at odds with the spirit of the artist. I couldn’t imagine John Lennon or Paul Simon, as young aspiring artists, submitting their music to a contest for validation. I don’t think they would have cared less what critics or panel of judges thought of their music, as long as they liked it and thought it had some value to the world.

Howard. This reminded me of driving around in my ole Stang with Max. It wasn’t as dramatic though.

Thanks everyone, I appreciate all your input. It’s interesting to see a pattern develop of some songs that get mention frequently, like “You’re Gonna Lose that Girl”, and glad to see my fave of fave original “Sweet Lorraine” mentioned frequently too.
At the very least, all these suggestions can make a great play list of MLT songs to take with you.
Please keep them coming if you don’t mind indulging some of us.

..Oh why stop there. Here is one more.
Hey Mona and Lisa, I guess great minds think alike, eh!!!
As you might notice, Einstein is one of my heroes.

Jacki, you are right, all we need is imagination as the famous Mr Bad Hair Day said…..
Howard. I am not talented at all, I just sometimes try to exercise a little creativity each day that I can.
I read or heard somewhere a while ago that the greatest gift humanity is blessed with among all the wonderful creatures of this world is “creativity”. Mona and Lisa inspire and remind me of that every day.
Animals can do great feats through instinct, but we have something even greater, creativity, which is what separates us from the rest of nature.
Anyway that’s my deep thought for this weekend. 🙂

Hey Mona and Lisa, you are both so eloquent in your written correspondence, I think you would both make great writers too in whatever discipline you wanted to write in. Your detailed written correspondence we’ve all witnessed here in the last few months really impress. Perhaps it’s just an extension of your music making talent to be able to express yourselves so wonderfully. Just another in a multitude of talents you ladies possess in abundance.
I hope you don’t get too caught up in the “Snowmageddon” gripping the UK this week. In Canada the “Polar vortex” has us in a deep freeze, except in the balmy pacific northwest where I am where it is still 7C today. 🙂

My head hurt after that 2nd one. Will watch the results of the 3rd one from the sidelines and see how the more Beatles savvy folks here do.

Here’s one I did from 2017 when Orange was released.

Thanks so much Jacki! Coming from the poetry master herself, that means a lot. 🙂 🙂
