Other than MLT, you want to hear something fresh and inspiring, check out The Warning, my “other” favorite sister act. Three kids from Mexico brining back real music to a generation, and the world is loving it. Here’s a sample.

Indeed. I’ve listed to them all about 50 times since then. Priceless.

Cinnamon Girl has always been my favorite Neil Young song!

It becomes a blues harp when John Popper plays it. 😀

Nice Daryl! I’m jealous. And props to the spousal unit for the understanding.

Wow. I didn’t even know he was still making music that recently or hear that he passed. Thanks for sharing that. I think I’ll go put on some April Wine. Think I’ll start with “Harder…Faster”

Jung! Norwegian Wood has always been my favorite Beatles song. Also “Here Comes the Sun” and “I’ll Follow the Sun”. I guess I like hot things (suns or burning bedrooms). Other than that I’m kind of all over the board so I don’t know that I favor one’s compositions over another’s.

Totally Jacki. The number of people that have had Christmas season ruined by the death of a loved one. As if the weather wasn’t bad enough. I, too, love summer. I’m not a fan of extreme weather either way, but I’d much rather be warm than frozen, and the sun… I’m kind of a dichotomy: I love verdant green and warm sunny weather. You can’t have both, at least not all the time. I don’t like a lot of humidity either, but neither can I stand getting electrocuted every time I touch something metal, so I need enough to “ground” the air.

Hey Bud,
Yes, I’m SW of Portland. And yes, the McMinnville area is gorgeous. I’ve been to Linfield a couple of times, for concerts no less. I certainly wouldn’t mind living out there.
I did play the French horn. I don’t remember mentioning that. Or are you psychic? LOL. I sure would love to pick it up again. I’ve never been the biggest trumpet fan (sorry, I know you are!), but the piccolo trumpet is a whole different matter because it has such a soaring, inspirational sound. I love its use in the Brandenburg concerto #2, how it dances and flirts with the recorder and oboe, and it’s often played on French horn as well. That was a great video! Thanks for sharing that.

Thanks Bud. I do suffer from SAD. I have Moodozi LED therapy lamp here on my desk that I use every day I don’t get out in some sun and I have to take lots of vitamin D. But MTMLTS is definitely a thing, too!
-
Exactly. Kinda like coming home from summer camp as a kid. Yeah, a quarterly livestream would be great.
-
LOL. Yes, that’s very true. I hope it didn’t sound like I was ungrateful. I don’t begrudge them their down time at all! Just lamenting the post-advent crash. 😀

Here’s a great example (no offense to Canada of course). But also the solos in things like “Runaround” and “Hook”
