Hi David
Wow you have an autograph of Mickey Dolenz, that must be special, though of course nothing could compare to seeing or meeting him, but a nice personal memento of something of him. Yeah graphology isn’t something I would bet my life on for sure. Can you imagine a “Questionable” scenario, where you ask someone for their handwriting to see if they are a potential eligible partner! That would be funny. I haven’t done enough research or careful scrutiny of graphology to say how much faith I would put into it, but it is interesting though, there must be some psychological correlation with how one’s handwriting might reflect some traits, but who knows, but the signature and autograph and how unique it is to a person is fascinating.
Hi Dave,
Awesome to meet another fountain pen user. Yeah I have acquire some 50 fountain pens over the 15 years or so I got into them. It was my wife MJ who got me into fountain pens, as being a graduate studies student for years, she used fountain pens, so when she saw me freak out one day when I misplaced my very sentiment gold Cross ball point pen, she suggested I try a fountain pen, and I haven’t looked back. Those are a couple of clear demonstrator fountain pens. What brand are they, Delta? I have a clear demonstrator TWSBI ECO with a stub nib I like to use. My main fountain pen these days is a Montblanc with a calligraphy flex nib, that I went on a one year waiting list at the Montblanc boutique to get, but found one on sale unexpectedly at another Ma Pa pen shop a few hours after I put my name on the Montblanc waiting list.
I really find the aspect of forming ideas literally by hand with the ink and nib on the paper very fascinating. it’s like you are forming your ideas into physical form on paper. There are volumes written about the benefits of handwriting with pen and paper over typing something on the computer. Handwriting something on paper with pen I feel connects me to my intuition better to find my own answers to things on my mind, that I otherwise might not.
Here is a fun and interesting video about the origins of handwriting, writing instruments and fountain pens by the Sheaffer Pen Company in 1947.

I just heard the sad news David Crosby died today, at age 81. A sad day for the music world as we lose another legendary rock artist. In his honour, one of my favourite CSNY songs. About such precious things in our life, and warm loving environment called home, our house.

And here is a beautiful classical piano melody line that captivates equally for contrast and appreciation of music.

Music with a wonderful melodic line is so captivating, tickles your soul. Here is one of those with a fast guitar. This one is written by John Lennon, the other greatest pop/rock song writer of all time.

Happy Birthday Jacki, hope you have an awesome day filled with love, peace, and groovy joy. 🎈🎂🎉🕊✨💕

Daryl, I had a similar experience with my parents. When I was little I couldn’t stand my dad’s classical music. Car rides usually meant being subjected to my dad’s library of classical music as me and my sister rode in the back seat. My music taste went from pop music of the 70s and the Beach Boys and Beatles in my teens to heavy rock and metal of the likes of AC/DC by my early 20s. Loved those hypnotic guitar sounds, soothed my soul in those days that I really needed. Then by 30 I got into classical music of Mozart, Beethoven, Baroque, Bach etc.. and I started taking piano lessons. I have to say in those classical piano and violin runs, I felt exactly how I felt listening to Angus and Malcom Young’s guitar works. Rock song writers and classical composers I have to believe had their minds in the same state to create that kind of music. As you said, and as Paul McCartney stated so succinctly in that short video interview I posted, there is a common ground between pop/rock and classical. “They are doing the same thing”.

Perhaps a friendly reminder is in order here of the MLT Club guidelines:
Our admins will make it a priority to keep this place pleasant and interesting for everyone, so that you will want to invite your friends to join the MLT Club, too. If you want to help us keeping things groovy please consider and encourage the following guidelines:
…please stay away from discussing politics, religion and other highly personal subjects.We all enjoy a thought provoking lively discussion here, but let’s respect MLT wishes and stay away from discussing politics, religion etc.. as these topics tend to devolve into unpleasant fruitless discussions. I know this all too well as I’ve been a culprit too in the past that I deeply regret.
Let’s all discuss our passion for MLT and music, which is why we are all here! 🙂

Wonderful Jacki! 👍

Wow David, that was awesome!!! You should put a melody to it accompanied by your Ukelele! 👍🙂

Thanks Jeanette, and it’s never too late to join in on the discussions. Really enjoyed what you wrote here about music and the emotions. It is amazing how the tension build up and release, dissonance, consonance, modes, key changes all add up to creating emotions that make music so beautiful and joyful. Even a sad movement in music has amazing beauty that can heal, like Beethoven’s Symphony No 7 2nd movement. Mozart and Paul certainly used key changes and modes to create some amazing moving emotions in their music. Enjoyed hearing that Mozart opera video, can really feel the longing in the music as it built up. I found an interesting article that discusses Mozart and Paul a playlist of their music to show similar they are artistically.

Hi Tobias,
I don’t think MLT nor their music is political at all, instead it’s about the corruption, and deception, and general issues like war and intolerance that plagues humanity even today. People can interpret it to support their own personal views, but the lyrics are non specific and calls out generic issues like deception in places of power etc… There are songs about freedom and the environment…and people getting along etc..And I agree with you that this post was in fact an enquiry about what artists with similar viewpoints are out there, and that is why I contributed and many other members too, and the discussion was pleasant and enjoyable. Once specific politicians are called out and very specific issues mentioned, that’s when it becomes political. Political and religious discussions tear even families apart, and so that is why MLT guidelines are very specific about not discussing politics here.
I don’t mean to imply you nor anyone here was behaving disrespectfully to one another, and meant no offence, and hope to be able to discuss other interesting issues that MLT music evokes with you and others here. I consider myself a freedom nut too! 🙂

Tom, those songs are very heartfelt, and their vocals really grabs you, a lot of grit, especially The Lee Shore. Thanks for posting these.
-
So sorry for your loss Diana, my heart goes out to you. Condolences.
-
Tom, what amazing musicianship. Thanks for sharing that.

Great video and song JP. That was all filmed right in my backyard. The beach scene is from Stanley Park looking across the Burrard Inlet over to the North Shore and the mountains of North Vancouver, my neighbourhood where I grew up. And I know those totem poles very well in the park. 👍🙂
