Tomas, I like this idea. I have a small collection of 45’s, mostly 50’s, 60’s and 70’s Rock n Roll records. They are mostly keepsakes as I never play them and I would love to add All I Want Christmas To Be. With Mona and Lisa’s signature it would be a treasure. I think their swinging version of Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas would be a cool B side but I would be happy with any of the others.

I hear you Roger, I was bummed out after the livestream ended on the 23rd. This has been such a wonderful month with all the livestreams and to be honest, the days in between sharing stories and memories with each other. It was like friends and family telling stories with each other only we were doing it from all corners of the world. I really continued doing the same thing the last three days, only with family and friends, sharing memories, exchanging gifts and enjoying good food and too many cookies, Lol. It’s been my best Christmas in many years and it all started with the first livestream. I hate to see it end but if it never ended then it probably wouldn’t be so special. I think a lot of us have become friends in the last month and I hope it will continue. We can still continue to share stories and ideas and share music, I am looking forward to it. When the Twins decide on a date for the public livestream we have to do what we can to spread the word around. If this first livestream is a success I am sure the girls will want to keep doing them. The more people that hear them, the more people that will stick around and support them.

Jung,
That’s a cool and very interesting video and could that question mark be somehow tied to our Twins or Janitor Joe through some means that we don’t understand? Could it be a sign from someone we all admire that had a vision of peace and brotherhood and whose spirit now lives in the heavens? A person that greatly inspired Mona and Lisa who are the artists that produced the incredible visionary masterpiece called WHY?. I was reminded by MLT Club member Rick Twomey that there was a sign that was held by fans in New York City after John Lennon was killed, one word and one symbol. Was it an inspiration for the song or album or was it just, yet another coincidence? This was the sign and now it makes me more curious.

An old work friend of mine is spending Christmas in Singapore, she posted some beautiful pictures. I thought I would share them.

Jung,
I think I got off topic a little with the two videos of Sadie Johnson. I just like sharing music, especially some of the young artists that I like. About the original forum topic I do agree on the music Mona and Lisa played at the Christmas livestream. I loved all the songs and have listened to them several times since. I really liked the acoustic version of “Politician”, I wasn’t expecting that and it made me smile. I’d like to hear even more originals as live acoustic numbers, maybe Sweet Lorraine or Count On Me. I liked Summer Rain on the October livestream. I have listened to that October livestream probably 5 times and last years Christmas livestream probably 10 times. The livestream formats just feel so personal and intimate, like I am sitting right in the studio listening. Such a wonderful feeling and they are so good at playing the music.

I guess I’ve been listening to Sadie Johnson more than a few years because this one is about 9 years old. Sadie was just a teenager playing here with her older sister Samantha on bass and Krista Hess on guitar on the right. Not sure the name of the drummer and the sax player’s name, I think is Sam Motter. I really like this jam. They have a lot of music on YouTube, even a family band that now includes two younger sisters.

Chris, I’m like you, I like some of Sheryl Crow’s music but have never bought any of her albums. There’s a lot of artists that I like some of their stuff but not enough to buy a full album. I even liked Taylor Swift’s first big country hit called “Tim McGraw”, though I could not tell you the name of any other song she does. I’m not a musician so I don’t know what is officially good music. I just like music that makes me feel something. If it makes me laugh, cry, tap my feet or bob my head I like it. Most music that I do buy and listen to is old stuff with the exception of MLT and a few others I’ve found on YouTube that have made albums. I’ve shared a few of those on other threads like The Discoveries, Relax Trio and Liliac. The last CD I bought was by a girl named Sadie Johnson. She is a guitar player from Indiana that I have followed for a few years on YouTube. She recently graduated college and teaches music to children and does gigs in her spare time. She plays a mix of Blues and Jazz so you might like her music. She just released her first EP called Natural Distractions with 7 songs, 6 of which she wrote herself. Heck, she not only autographed the CD as well as the packaging, she also signed the little seal on the package, Lol. Here’s one of her songs from that CD called “Done”.

Daryl,
A lot of people don’t take the time to understand that. Our state government works with sportsman’s clubs, hunters and farmers and relies on our input to regulate hunting seasons and develop habitat and food plots for or wildlife. The state DNR and hunting clubs buy up abandoned farms and turn them into wildlife habitat. We have many more deer here now than we did when I first started hunting. When I first started hunting as a teenager there were strict laws on hunting and bowhunting really didn’t exist. A few black bear were in the northern forests but I had never seen one near me. Elk and wolves were extinct along with turkeys, cougars and very few bobcats. The only coyote I ever seen was on the cartoons. Once the wild turkeys were re-introduced to the area (thanks to the sportsman’s clubs) in the 1990’s their predators naturally re-established themselves. We now have hundreds of coyotes, bobcats, wolves and cougars. One of our wolves with a radio colored was hit and killed in downtown Indianapolis. This year a cougar was showing up on camera’s in Madison WI. We have hunting and boating safety courses, special seasons and clubs to benefit disabled and youth hunters and discounts for military and first time sportsman. There are some legal hunting practices that I don’t agree with and those that poach game illegally or unethically are NOT hunters, they are criminals.

We have hundreds of acres of public hunting land within short driving distances but this year I’ve only been hunting on a small tract of forest and swamp connected to my family’s 5 acre parcel. It used to be a couple hundred acres but because of development there is only about 40 acres available to hunt, good enough for bowhunting though. Most of the people I used to hunt with are either dead, too old or just unwilling to leave their house when it’s below freezing. I mostly hunt alone except for my brother’s son in law who likes to bow hunt but has his own construction business and is usually too busy. I like bowhunting because you have to study the deer’s habitat, where they been eating and bedding and try to get as close to them as possible. I could spend time in the woods without hunting but I like to support our hunting clubs and programs too. Hunting and fishing bring billions of dollars into our states economy and most of that money goes into developing and maintaining habitat for all sorts of wildlife. Not only does it maintain and even grow the the population of native species, since the 1990’s we have a growing population of turkeys, wolves, black bears and many small game species. We even have a couple herds of elk growing in the northern forests.

Hi Tim,
Lol, some of my friends were posting deer hunting selfies on Facebook so I made one too. Thanks to photo shop I made it interesting. I even won a photo contest with it but gave the prizes to a young girl who was second. Hers wasn’t photo shopped and besides, it’s Christmas.

I grew up in a large family that was quite poor. Hunting was a way to put meat on the table. All the friends and neighbors hunted too and we all shared the bounty with each other. I haven’t hunted for more than 10 years but decided to do it this year. I only hunt whitetail deer and only hunt with a crossbow now and don’t need to get one just for meat. I really don’t care if I get one or not. If I really want some venison I can get it from a number of friends. I just like being out in the forest seeing animals in their natural environment and watching the season change. I use the time in the woods to relax and sort of meditate, to ponder my existence and the state of the world. The deer I’m hunting are pretty safe because my 2 trail cameras say the deer have been getting there between 8:00am and 10:00am and I don’t get out of bed until 10:30. I have a very small cabin I built from pallet lumber and other reclaimed material. I only spent money on screws and paint.

There used to be a German fellow that owned a bar in town that made some good head cheese. I haven’t had any for years but it was good stuff. As for venison I’ve been trying to get some with my bow but haven’t had any luck. Not sure what the problem is, Lol.

Thanks Dennis but I had a lot of help. It was a last minute idea and we couldn’t contact everyone so I hope those that we missed will see this and post a picture. Mona and Lisa said they wished they could see all of us so maybe this will help.

Very nice, Jung
