    I haven’t done much with my membership so far, been busy, – as only an old retired guy with a demanding Grandaughter can – but I’m happy to support two lovely young ladies and help them carve their own furrow rather than depend on a large and soul-dead record company.

    I now have four of your CDs – because I like my music that way. First was the Cavern Club double album.

    I’m impressed by your range of styles, from flat-out rocking tunes, to gentle ballads. I’m enjoying your original music as well. I’m a ‘words’ person, being a writer myself, and would like to compliment you both on your clear diction in everything you sing. With some female singers it takes a while to get my ‘shop-worn’ ears tuned in. You both hit the sweet spot straight off.

    Vocally Mona comes across as more of a little ‘rocker’, with the right songs, Lisa is more in the mould of the elegant ‘girl with an acoustic guitar’, but can rock out with the best on electric.

    Have you made a recording of ‘Smoke on the water’, since the one when you still had your ‘little girl voices? If not I really think you should consider it.

    Good to see you have a lively and well-mannered club membership, who talk to each other instead of just saying “Wow” and plastering smileys all over the place.

    Thoroughly enjoyed the latest llvestream.

    As you say, “Keep Groovy.”

    John

    Hello Mona and Lisa, me and Maddie could not make it last night, but we are watching now, and Maddie is very happy you opened out package!! So glad you have the 45rpm of John Lennon’s Christmas Song.

  3. Tim Arnold 23/12/2023

    Thank for reading the story about my sister in law Kristy. I wasn’t expecting that and it messed me up a little. I am looking forward to the Music Livestream tonight. I know it’s going to be amazing.

  4. Bud Jackson 23/12/2023

    I just finished watching your Friday 22/12/23 Livestream. Very nice! I’m tired tho’ after working all day, and then having a late dinner. I FINALLY got your Christmas card tonight! Thank you very much! it’s so nice getting a card from you both!

    I checked parcel tracking, and the package I sent to you arrived in Chester England at 6:28 am yesterday, Dec. 21st. I doubt that you’ll receive it before the final Livestream tomorrow — 23/12, but I can only hope it will.

    Looking forward to tomorrow, AND to your public livestream sometime in January! Where does the time go?!

    1. Chris Weber 23/12/2023

      That was definitely fun. Looking forward to tomorrow. Thanks so much.

      The explanation of different pitches makes sense to me. I’ve had my hearing tested and my treble perception was “rock and rolled” away long ago.

      Reminds me of a story I saw (heard?) a while back where schoolkids set their phone ring tones to be very high pitched so they could hear them in class, but their teacher could not.

      I remember lots of Laurels being reported by people in the Livestream. But most of us are older than you Lisa.

      Not sure why you didn’t get consistent results though. Different equipment? I would expect almost any equipment these days to do a good job with treble. Although I still have one radio that I use that was made in the 1950s. Maybe it’s the priming argument they made(?).

    2. Jung Roe 23/12/2023

      Thanks Lisa for posting the audio illusions links. All I kept hearing was “…stoned” for the first one and “Laurel” on the 2ndšŸ˜. I will listen to them intently now until I hear something different. šŸ˜Ž

      1. Jung Roe 23/12/2023

        Wow, this is funny. Tonight all I’m hearing is Yanni, whereas at the livestream all I could hear was Laurel! What has changed???

      2. Jung Roe 23/12/2023

        Now listening to the same video several hours later, I am hearing only Laurel instead of Yanni.

        Rewatching the livestream, that first audio illusion I only heard “I’m stoned” during the livestream, now I am hear “Brainstorm”.

        This is fascinating.

    3. Jacki Hopper 23/12/2023

      Thanx Lisa…It will give my hearing loss a goid workout, in trying to decipher…. Part of having hearing loss, legitimately, I have excuse for really do misunderstanding words ….. lol…. They do this very thing at hearing testing at the audiologist…. and my hearing aids could probably either properly sound out wording or just amplify the misheard prominently ….šŸ˜‰šŸ™ƒšŸ‘‚šŸ‘‚šŸ¦»šŸ¦»

    4. TomƔs F. Calvo 23/12/2023

      This is mind blowing, because I was hearing “Laurel” then went to the YouTube link and heard “Yanny”, on the first one, then the others and heard “Laurel” again. When I went back to the first link, I heard “Laurel” again, the same YouTube, the same headphones, just minutes apart. I can’t force myself to hear one or the other, it’s just there and clear as day. Sitting next to my wife Lisa, she always heard “Yanny” and was looking at me strange when I said I was hearing “Laurel”.
      This one is a real mindbender!

  8. Paul Wright 23/12/2023

    Missed another live stream but very enjoyable to catch up when I get in. Very busy day again tomorrow but hopefully , fingers crossed will make tomorrows. Thank you for a great advent calendar this year, think itā€™s the best yet.

  9. Roger Penn 23/12/2023

    Just to follow up on the Chicago discussion, here’s an excerpt from Wikipedia:
    “In terms of chart success, Chicago is one of the most successful American bands in RIAA and Billboard history (second only to the Beach Boys), and are one of the most successful popular music acts of all time. To date, Chicago has sold over 40 million units in the U.S., with 23 gold, 18 platinum, and eight multi-platinum albums. They have had five consecutive number-one albums on the Billboard 200 and 20 top-ten singles on the Billboard Hot 100. In 1974 the group had seven albums, its entire catalog at the time, on the Billboard 200 simultaneously.”

    So you can see why it would be hard to recommend just a song or two. I mean, “25 or 6 to 4” for sure, but aside from the 80’s mega-hits like “You’re the Inspiration” and “Hard to Say I’m Sorry”, I think my favorite example of their true roots and talents is “Feelin’ Stronger Every Day.” When they do that live (especially together with Earth, Wind and Fire) it just rocks the building apart..

    1. Jung Roe 23/12/2023

      Roger,
      That was one of the records in my brothers collection I listened to a lot in my teens. Chicago IX Greatest Hits, I don’t think there is a bad song on the entire album, they are all wonderful. Color My World, Saturday In The Park, Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is, 25 or 6 to 4, Feeling Stronger Ever Day, Just You N Me, I’ve Been Searching So Long….. I think Mona and Lisa are in for a musical treat with this album.

  10. Jung Roe 22/12/2023

    Thank you for a lovely time today at the live stream Mona and Lisa. Just love hanging out with you both. A groovy way for me to start my Christmas holidays! That “what do you hear?” sound effects were amazing and fun.

    You two mentioned real candles on Christmas trees…

    A Spectacular Christmas. (About 65 years ago)

    Caravan Christmases were busy and crowded, with various aunts and uncles and their offspring dropping in.  Uncle Jack arrived in his Isetta Bubble Car, a fascinating thing where the entire front, complete with steering wheel, swung open for access.

    The van was unbelievably crowded, and Dad put a plank between two chairs to make enough ‘bum space’ around the table.

    Having no electricity, our little tree wore real candles in little spring clips on the branches. Other decorations included mini parcels, titchy baubles, and some simple tinsel. Lametta I believe the name was. Not that thick hairy modern stuff, which would have buried the tree. Plus clip-on translucent plastic icicles. For some reason I really liked these and would play games with them in between Christmases. I pretended they were little swords and also lost a few by using them as arrow heads, wedged into arrows made from garden canes.

    There were also a few odds and ends from previous year’s crackers. Including my favourite, a little red celluloid aeroplane, which I always ceremoniously ‘crashed’ somewhere on the tree.

    With everyone seated there was hardly room to move, but Dad would carve the chicken with a certain reckless flourish and everyone ‘tucked in’. I remember Pyrex serving dishes brimming with roast spuds, parsnips, and a big bowl of stuffing. There was always plenty for everyone, but never anything left over.

    Dad always poured rum on the Christmas pudding and set it alight, with dancing blue flames.

    Afterwards we had indoor fireworks, which were nowhere near as spectacular as they sound. There were little stand-up bits of card, treated with various chemicals which burned with different colours. ‘Serpents’ were tightly rolled little cylinders of foil, which, once lit, suddenly gushed out twisting coils which were supposed to look like a snake.

    There were mini hot air balloons, which never worked properly. Just as well perhaps, because you lit the base and it was supposed to float up into the air.

    Then there was the smoking monkey. A little plastic novelty. A small white tube was lit in its mouth and it would puff away for a few minutes.

    The ‘Poo-ing Donkey’ was a similar thing, except you shoved the ‘firework’ up its bum and when lit it did exactly what you would expect. Presumably a variation on the chemicals used in the serpents.

    With the fireworks exhausted we turned to the nuts and cheese. We had a brass bulldog nutcracker. An engagingly ugly brute. The jaws opened and closed according to whether his tail was up or down. I loved using it and would cheerfully crack nuts for anyone.

    But the unplanned finale came when I asked Dad to lights the candles on the tree. He agreed to light them just for a few minutes. We all sat and watched. It truly was a magical moment, a dozen or so little real flames flickering away, reflecting off the tinsel and other trimmings.

    Then, the heat suddenly ignited the little celluloid plane and the rest of the tree swiftly became one towering inferno.

    I had never seen Dad move so fast. He shouted “Door!” and as my Uncle Ernie flung it open he grabbed the tree by its base and hurled it straight into the darkness outside like a fiery javelin. Most of the people around the table hadn’t even had time to react to the initial flare before it was gone.

    That was one of the most spectacular Christmases I’ve ever had, and the scorch marks on the caravan ceiling were still there when we finally moved into a house a few years later.

    Lisa, you really need to get yourself a sharp knife for opening parcels. It’s safer than hacking and ripping your parcels to death. Maybe I’ll send you one.

    John

    Iā€™ll be in the car listening from afar
    (there is a rumor going around that our boss might let us out early, so I might make it home in timel)

    I wonder if thereā€™s any WiFi down by the lake. If so, I mean if anyone is interested, Iā€™ll be parked down by the lake, bout eighty miles from Santa Fe.

    Today is the last chapter of the Advent calendar which gives way to the great transmission expected by everyone tomorrow. The most anticipated day at the club

  36. David Bradley 22/12/2023

    Really sad I can’t take part tonight, my rugby team Sale Sharks currently top of the Premiership are playing Saracens who are another top team in England, and if Saracens win, they’ll go top!! So I can’t miss this important match. I’ll watch the live-stream when I get home. Have a good one everyone, and I’ll definitely be there tomorrow.
