Hi David, great idea. My favorites until 1963: Apache, Blue Moon, Runaway, Take good care of my baby, The Loco-Motion, Telstar. From 1964, of course, The Beatles. But also: It’s my party, The house of the rising sun, Downtown, Turn!, Turn ! Turn!, These boots are made for walking, Good vibrations, Mrs. Robinson and many many more. I counted roughly 18 MLT covers. How many are there really? (If I was very wrong, I hope I won’t be kicked out of the MLT club now)
PS: a little less Elvis wouldn’t have been bad either

Or what do you do if you would like to play Ludwig van Beethoven, but your entire orchestra is on vacation? You grab a guitar and play it like Ludwig, if he had had one.

What do you do when you’ve misplaced your electric guitar and don’t know where the stupid thing is anymore? That’s right: You pick up a cello.

Dear Jung and dear David, I would like to thank you very much for supporting me so actively on this topic and bravely reading all the comments and watching all the video clips. If we should ever meet in person, I would like to invite you to a beer. 🙂 I would now like to conclude the topic with one last point: Well-known musical instruments played unusually.

Hi David, I’m glad if you liked the selection. But the Rollerblade Man is also great. How long it probably took until all the bottles had the right filling quantity and the right position? What is the David Letterman’s Show? Sounds interesting.
PS: Wintercatan the second. This time with a typewriter.

And that happens when you have a wok but don’t feel like cooking (sounds fantastic)

If you can’t decide, when choosing a career, whether you want to become a musician, a carpenter or a watchmaker then something like this will probably come out of it. When I saw this music machine for the first time, I was completely fascinated. How do you manage to think of something like that, then build it and ultimately create music? Something real special. The marvelous Marble Machine designed by Wintercatan.

Hi Jung, I have never consciously paid attention to the parallels between some classical music and rock music. But you’re right. Some classical piano pieces can be converted quite directly into guitar playing. I would like to hear Bach’s Toccata live in a large church. I know the piece of music, of course, but I’ve never heard it live. This is guaranteed pure goosebumps feeling. At the time Bach composed it, it was certainly something special. It still is today. The intro of “Thunder” is already quite crazy. I like it as much as „Touch too much” (that was the time when I was 12 or 13 years old. Party music) and of course “Hellsbells” (I liked to play that at Christmas to annoy my parents).
PS: you probably also know this cover version of sky

Thanks David. Very interesting, very informative, very technical and very quickly presented. If the young man in the video had spoken a little slower, my brain would have had more time to translate the received speech frequencies into ordered thoughts. But I think I understood the essentials. And yet it is still a miracle for me how you can elicit such beautiful melodies from such an instrument.

A fantastic watch Jung. And shipping is free? That seems to me to be a fair offer. Where can I order the watch?

Hi Jung,
thank you for your very personal insights into the music of the Beach Boys. I have so far reduced the Beach Boys to Surfin’ and Good Vibrations. Now you have made me curious and I will listen to the album “Beach Boys today”. I bought the album “Pet Sounds” a few years ago because there was a version in Surround mixing. The only CD I own that plays almost like an LP. A Side up: stereo sound. B Side up: surround sound. I thank you for your detailed explanations and find it very exciting to be able to exchange ideas with people from all over the world (well, almost the whole world…) here in the forum.
When else do I have the opportunity to talk to someone from Vancouver about the Beach Boys? I would also be interested in the Canadian music scene and its history. You hear almost nothing about this here with us. Surely you have more to offer than Céline Dion? 🙂 (I like to listen for example to Rush, Avril Lavigne, Sarah McLachlan, Neil Young, oh yes and Brian Adams still exists. Maybe an independent topic?) And David thank you too.

The Christmas miracle of 1914. British and German Soldiers stopped shooting at each other and instead climbed out of the trenches. They sang Christmas carols together, exchanged small gifts and showed themselves the photos of the ones they loved. This peace lasted 3 days. After that, they were forced to kill themselves again.

Hi Jung. I fully agree with you. Sadly, the world is turning back instead of forward. And that faster and faster.
