Great video about the significance of rhythm and drumming Jurgen. Some amazing and captivating rhythm sounds.

You don’t see many drum solos in rock/pop, but here is the first one I ever experienced on the Beach Boys Shutdown album. I’m not aware of any other rock/pop drum solo’s but I’m sure there are others out there.

While not considered one of the top technical drummers, Dennis Wilson was asked by big brother Brian at age 15 to be their drummer, and he stepped up taking drum lessons and learning the drums from scratch, providing the powerful energetic rhythm for some of rock/pops greatest songs. That makes him a pretty important drummer in history. Contrary to myth, while Hal Blaine was the session drummer for some songs on Pet Sounds and Good Vibrations, the majority of the Beach Boys drumming on hit songs on album recordings were in fact done by Dennis Wilson.

Dennis’ good looks and powerful live drumming provided the group with a much-needed boost in the wake of the “British Invasion.” Brian Wilson often used direct instances from Dennis’ life as the foundation for Beach Boys songs, including “Fun, Fun, Fun,” “Let Him Run Wild,” and “Surfin’ U.S.A.”

Sounds like an enjoyable time at the rave Sara. I can’t remember the last time I was at a disco or club, probably in the 90s some time. That photo looks intriguing and psychedelic. Passion is life.

Your magic with words Jacki always bring a ray of sunshine here at the MLT Club! Thank you.

[Jung Roe]

Hey David, thanks! Yeah, sharp eye, you caught that one, a line from the Beach Boys song “I can hear music!”

[Jung Roe]

Thanks Jacki. 👍🙂 Your poems always inspire me.

Actually, I posted this one here in the forum a few years ago. I found it in my hard drive today, so I thought I’d repost it for the new members.

Thanks Jurgen, some great musicianship there. Is that a saxophone? It sounds like it, but also looks like a kind of clarinet.

Hi Dave

You don’t see a lot of tap dancing used anymore for the rhythm aspect of it, very amazing.

[Jung Roe]

I’ve never seen how vinyl records were made before. Interesting how they are simply stamped from a machine like that, like making waffles.

Hi Jurgen

Yeah it is sad, how the “man’s world” mentality has deprived the world throughout history. It harkens to the story of Mozart and his older sister, Maria Anna (Nanneri) Mozart. There were many accounts from their early childhood performances where the older sister was considered the greater prodigy. But in those times there was no place for a female musical genius, and the younger brother was allowed to pursue a career in music. Imagine how the world of music would be so much richer if Nana Mozart was allowed to realize her potential too.

[Jung Roe]

Yeah, that is timeless Thomas, and both the singing and drumming are top notch.

Hi Daryl

That must have felt so good to play in the band and when together as a group you knock of a sharp performance to be proud of. In my very limited experience, I remember how good it felt to sing along in a choir at school, feeling this amazing comradery of creating a beautiful moment together.

I am amazed at the precision with which all the musicians played the symphony. This is by far one of the most stellar symphony performances I’ve seen, by none other than the Berlin Philharmonic conducted by Herbert Von Karajan. I saw a lot of albums in my dad’s record collection where Herbert Von Karajan conducted. I can see why my dad was a big fan of Karajan.

I can imagine how good and proud Mona and Lisa, and the other two band mates must have felt with those incredible tight and superb performances they did in the 2016 Cavern Club concert.

This is in honour of amazing musicianship.

That’s an interesting Ted Talk Jurgen.

I personally think whenever I watch science try to explain a natural phenomena such as life, love, music etc… I feel a sense of the “cart before the horse”. As science and technology progress, scientists have done a great job explaining how biologically and mechanically intangible phenomena such as life, love, music etc…evolved or developed over time. But I think there is still a great chasm that has not been explained satisfactorily, where does life/love/music/passion come from? I have a little AI Robot that walks, talks, dances, and lives on my desk and has kept me humoured for the last few months. I can see as AI and Rotobotics technology continue to progress, they can mimic/recreate many of the things human biology can, but silicone and code is just another physical media like biology and synapsis, does not satisfactorily explain where that inspiration Bob Dylan or Beethoven sourced that inspiration from that is so incredibly moving and transforming, nor where life and love come from. Science would explain love as “dopamine”, which explains pleasure and warm fuzzy feel that can be elicited biologically in the human body, but does not explain where that source of love comes from. The dopamine explanation is for me the “cart before the horse” analogy. Science can explain the cart mechanism to a T, but it is missing the horse. These discussion are always fun! 🙂

Hi Dave

Inspirational MLT are indeed! No I haven’t been able to get the Hendrix ink yet. They are out of stock online too. My bottle of Beatles ink is still quite full for now, hopefully Hendricks ink will become available soon again.

[Jung Roe]

Check out Noodlers Black Swan In Australian Roses ink.😉 Does magic with those Speedball flex nibs.
