David, this is a good one to share on Thanksgiving. No one writes and sings with more passion than Beth Hart and this song basically says thanks for everything.

Happy Thanksgiving to every MLT Club member. Even if you don’t celebrate the holiday, you can still give thanks for the things you have and people you love. You can also have turkey and pie, heck there’s no law.

You can hear a great live performance at Madison Square Garden or The Sydney Opera house but sometimes you can hear a great performance at a Starbucks in Greencastle Indiana. By the way, Sadie Johnson is an absolute treasure.

David, here’s a thank you song I remember from Bachman Turner Overdrive’s first album. Sung by one of my favorite singers, Fred Turner. That ruff gravelly voice was perfect for BTO’s rock n roll. The song is about waking up with a hangover and not remembering exactly what happened the night before, only that he had a good time with a friend, hence the lyrics,
Took me home, shared a dream, knew just what I’d like. I don’t remember comin’ home and I’m not goin’ back tonight. BTO, Thank You For The Feeling
If you watch on You Tube you can read the lyrics.

Not much to say about The Rolling Stones. Their music and performance speaks for itself. I love this Country-Blues tune from Exile On Main Street performed in Texas in 1972 with Keith Richards and Mick Taylor on acoustic guitars, the great Bobby Keys on sax and of course Mick Jagger at the top of his game.

JP, That’s a great song but did he ever say where he was parked at? Maybe I missed it, Lol.

I see that now Chris, there are 4 picture posts between those dates but no personal photos. I wish there was a way for Facebook to stop this kind of activity. I don’t follow too many celebs on facebook but the ones I do follow all have problems with hackers. I try to report and block as many as I can but there are so many and new ones popping up everyday.

I agree that Gaga is way over the top on this live performance. I guess that’s what she does, I really don’t know much about her. I like the sound of the studio version better than this live video. I think her vocal track is lower on the studio version. I prefer her vocals in the background as opposed to equal as Mick’s or even above his at some points. I always liked Mick singing with Lisa Fischer on Gimme Shelter and would have rather heard her on this song. I do think the live video shows how Mick can still get it done at 80 years old which is amazing. Having a new Stones album and new Beatles single at the same time is kind of cool though.

Chris, I did notice in the last day or so that much of the old content is now available on the Facebook page. I don’t know if it has been restored by Facebook or Mona and Lisa have reposted things themselves. I don’t even know if that’s possible but I have seen a lot of the old pictures have been restored.

Daryl, I’ve only heard about half of it but I like what I’ve heard. I actually love the duet with Lady Gaga “Sweet Sounds of Heaven”. Stevie Wonder also plays on that track. Her and Mick singing together is a great sound. Here’s a video of them doing the song live in New York City. A great performance.

Daryl, I was a big Rush fan and their turning point from a local garage band to a mainstream rock band came when Neil joined the band. He became the chief lyricist and gave their music a direction. There’s no denying his remarkable talent as not only a drummer but percussionist. Even after all his success he never considered himself a great musician and kept learning his craft. He went through some serious tragedies when his daughter was killed in a car accident and the same year his wife died from what Neil said was a broken heart. Neil left and the band stopped at that point. He went on an extended motorbike ride of over 80,000 miles through the U.S, Mexico into South America. He said he didn’t care anymore and Alex and Geddy let him have his space and the time to heal. Eventually he found peace and rejoined his mates. Also, Rush never gave in to the pressure of producing hit records. Their music remained their very own personal art.
Here’s a cool video of Rush before Neil joined the band. They are playing at a school auditorium in St. Catherines, Ontario. About 20 years old with original drummer John Rutsey.

Chris, even the recordings done for TV, Movies, radio and records were recorded live until Les Paul developed multi track recording in the 40’s and 50’s. Being able to play and sing along side recorded tracks and layer sounds and vocals really changed the game in recorded music.

Jung, Thanks for the Bread song. I forget about them but they were a good band with a lot of good songs. Now I’ve got to go listen to the song Guitar Man.

David, I first heard of Slade when they played on The Midnight Special TV program in 1973 but it was hard to find any of their music in the States even though they were selling massive amounts of records in the UK and Europe. They had their biggest success in the mid-70’s as a glam-rock band. They played a lot of heavy, loud rock music but also had some very nice ballads. Their best known song is probably Merry Xmas Everybody but that doesn’t get played in the States either. Jim Lea plays bass, keyboards and violin and was a classically trained cellist. The singer Noddy Holder retired from singing years ago and is an actor on British TV. Drummer Don Powell and guitarist Dave Hill toured as Slade into the 2000’s. Powell made some records and did some shows with Suzi Quattro and Andy Scott from the band Sweet. There are some good documentaries on YouTube about the band, very long interesting history.

Hi Jacki, my wife loved watching the Golden Girls and I thought it was hilarious, I loved the mother Sofia and Rose (Betty White) was so funny. The original song was written by Andrew Gold and recorded by Cynthia Fee for the TV show. Andrew Gold had a big hit called Lonely Boy but I also know him from playing and singing background vocals on some of Linda Ronstadt’s albums.
Here’s Andrew Gold’s version of Thank You For Being A Friend.
