Well, Thanks in oart to my 2nd older bro, a guitar enthusiast, he likes to jam from time to time with buddies, I grew up exposed and enjoyed the likes of Stevie Ray Vaugh, David Wilcox, BB King, Eddie Van Halen, Heart, Kiss, Jeff Heakey, Lucas Haneman, ( both Jeff and Lucas was/is blind)many Blues guitarists, that’s my 2nd oldest bro’s fave genre to listen to, while my oldest bro, is the Country music enthusiastic moreso, and I’m the oddball of liking an eclectic mix of stuff….????

Whichever song reaches a Million, that’s the Best… There’s a few members who are scorekeepers in this dept, and I appreciate all their time in doing so.. what would be an absolute phenomenal epic milestone however and quite doable, have All MLT songs, their covers and originals, live/studio/Duo Sessions reach that Magic Million Milestone, and so far, this is a possible realization and could occur… Keep Onwards with the #MLTBuzzLuvGroovified Go Get Ems… Let’s make that ambition a reality…!!

It’s moreover a matter of having this generation below ourselves and even younger generation down from millennial to produce the next wave of Guitar Heroes, Thankfully, MLT has refreshed that notion, got it started in right direction… now to gave other musicians in their age bracket and below to have keen interest in guitars to rev up the interest in how vital a guitar is in the creation of music.. Right now, the “New Country” scene, is still much in keeping with guitars in tge songs just have fusu0ions of rock, etc intertwining with it… Just my thoughts on this.

Well, this is an interesting thread Jung, it’s going to be eclectic and diverse as we all have different music tastes outside of MLT …lol
I don’t want to go on and on as I’d love to , and list every nook and cranny from each decade but I’ll give a few songs/ bands/singers from that era, from each decade for me at least how I feel for today, it can change…
From before 1950s – Chattanooga ( BoogieWoogie Shoe Shine Boy, Anything by Glenn Miller , other big band eras, etc! Carter Family, etc
1950s ~ Blue Suede Shoes Elvis, Rock Around The Clock Bill Haley & Comets, etc Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Sarah Vaughn, Patsy Cline, etc
1960s~ Beatles, Dusty Springfiels, Mamas and Papas, All Motown, Cilla Black, The Seekers, Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn, Ritchie Valens, Buddy Holly, etc
1970s ~ The Raes- Que Serra Serra cover, All BeeGees, Hot Chocolate, Sister Sledge, John Denver, Elton John, Pure Prairie League, Fleetwood Mac, Kansas, Boston, Styx, Traffic, CSN, etc, Guess Who, Air Supply, Susan & Terry Jacks , Carpenters, etc

In a nutshell really, I prefer stuff from before 2000 more so, and of course what I was exposed to growing up at home, predominantly country, rock n roll, bluegrass, motown, southern rock, gospel… BUT MLT happy discovery I made 14 yrs ago, made me have confidence that some younger folks can/do appreciate the older stuff…!!!! ????

My Mom was in my thoughts and memories yesterday, she died in 1995. She spent her last 10 yrs of life in a LTC Hospital post surgery stroke brain damaged somewhat and right side paralyzed she suffered from in 1985-86.

While on topic, a trip across Canada , would be great for you , lots to see, do… perhaps in the next century, once Covid disappears… ????????

Yes, Jung, exactly, Hot Rod Cruise nights at Tim Horton parking lots at some locations around Ottawa but not all the Tim Hortons, and at some mall parking lots too , but Covid put a halt on those , for indefinitely I guess ????

In my late Dad’s car /truck ownership history, he did have , though I vaguely remember it, a formerly used mid/late 50s-early to mid 60s Station wagon ambulance…. and at one time had my Grandpa Hopper’s old Coupe, ( after Granpa died) until he sold it… also in my memory, a family friend owned a 1960s convertible mustang, red with black top, a couple of old Model T Ford/Chevy pickup trucks with… circular brake/gas shaped pedals….
Yes, I love vintage cars, trucks, I got the appreciation to come by honestly from my late Dad … I miss seeing Hot Rod Cruise nights in Tim Hortons or mall parking lots, where all the nice Hot Rods, vintage cars/trucks would come out for show and revving it up… -
Thankyou all.. glad you enjoyed… maybe one day, I could try tackling an MLT to music, lol, it have to be me singing it , as I can’t pjay any instrument really nor can understand or read music, if anything, best I learn by ear or try learning by visual references in conjunction with learning by ear…. my hand/eye, perception as well as brain to hand to eye coordination is off the radar with me….lol

Mona’s always been the taller one and her face features are slightly different than Lisa’s, even as kids, if you keep those tips in mind , you should be able to find it easier to tell who is who as youngsters … it can be a tad tricky but if you keep Mon’s taller tip and study their faces as kids very detailed like, you’ll notice the subtle differences… hope that helps….????
-
I’m a tea person all the way, preferably hot to luke warm, sometimes cold , las like Lisa had said, discovering it a few hrs later …on counter …lol… I’m not keen on cold drinks, even in summer unless extreme humid, than perhaps an iced tea, or a blueblerry- cherry choco chip smoothie, I ususally drink my beverages room temp, hot, warming, slightly cooled….lol…I know, I’m a weirdo oddball, but a Happy one????☕????????

Brian, that’s what I admire and respect of/in Team MLT for, just for those very reasons Mona, replied with. And I wish alot more people out in the world would take a lesson and learn to be likewise .. A great question to ask Team MLT.

For David: Did you know Dusty Springfield ‘s brother Tom ( real name Dionys O’Brien) actually wrote a few of the Seekers songs, ie: I’ll Never Find Another You… !? Also Dusty wasn’t her real name either…
There’s probably quite a few underrated songs by Mamas and Papas, Dusty, Glass Tiger that I could choose but I’ll post another day…
