Hey again Jung!
You don’t need to reply to this. I’ve gotta get outside & do some work, and Practice too — can’t neglect that! Thanks again for your comments! Vancouver BC is also a beautiful, & special city! And my grandfather was a Mounted Policeman around the turn of the century. I have a a sharp-shooting trophy he won in 1899! He was originally from Ontario. I have 54% British Isles Ancestry, & also Norwegian, French/German, Danish, etc. I was born in Honolulu, so I feel more International in my Global Perspective. And my wife & daughter are into BTS! (But also The Beatles, & other Music!)
Take care! — Bud Jackson

Hi Jung! Lots of back & forth the last few days! I’m just south of you near Seattle, & we’ve been lucky this summer with no smoke — until now! We’re starting to get the Eastern Washington smoke today. I feel very sorry for all the people that have suffered, lost homes, etc. while many have died!
We as a unified planet, (I HOPE that will happen sometime SOON,) MUST get it together and come up with some effective solutions to the Human-Generated Climate Problems that are only getting worse. Profit is NEVER more important than peoples’ lives! C’mon people now!I agree with everything you just said about the MLT’s & their new CD entitled “WHY?” of Original Songs. We need to collectively “Raise Our Heads,” look around, get the facts, stop the Political Arguments, & find Peaceful Solutions that work for EVERYBODY! And, “We the People” means EVERYONE! The MLT’s do a lot to bring Happiness, while making people think, with their thoughtful & interesting lyrics & melodies. We need more people like them in the World! PEACE YA’LL, and thanks Jung for your comments! And to the MLT’s, thanks for everything you do! You’re the BEST!
Sincerely, Bud Jackson

Hey Chris,
After watching her videos, I finally saw Esperanza last year in Seattle, at “Jazz Alley.” She IS amazing! I didn’t get to talk to her, but as I was driving past the club, getting ready to park, I saw her walking down the street! Then I saw her set with just herself and Fred Hirsch on piano.
She’s in a class all her own, just as Mona & Lisa are! I don’t try to figure out who’s best, I just enjoy them all for who they are, & what they can do! Thanks for posting that!
There are so many great videos here, and so little time to watch them all!

Jung,
This is one of my early MLT favorites! I still watch it! Also, I liked your info on Bach & Beethoven. I wish I could go back in time and watch these composers at work! There’re so many others too that I’d visit. Forget about watching a bloody battle. Music is one of the best things about humans!
Well, I’ve gotta get to work now so I’ll be prepared for rehearsals the next two nights.
Ciao! — Bud

The bass was great, but the vocals blow me away! I’ve always liked their music from the beginning.
I also love “Up, Up and Away,” plus a lot more of their recordings.They were yet another group that defined the sounds of the late ’60’s! Marilyn McCoo & Billy Davis Jr. are both still married! He’s 85 & she’ll be 80 soon. I just read that they did a Beatles Tribute Album in 2021 with 10 songs! I’ll have to check that out! — Bud
