Hi guys. I thought it was just me. I have noticed this “glance”. In a couple of the WOTT videos, and live radio interviews there is this look the girls give each other right before they break into song. They did it in that clip when they were rehearsing for the Mike Masse gig.
I suppose most duo’s have one, but with Lisa and Mona, it’s magic. I can’t decide if it’s a telepathic “and a one, and a two” or a twinpathic pitch pipe.
It is twintastic!

Happy birthday MLT Club
Thanks for sharing your journey with us. OMG, I watched the skydiving video again. It’s the koolest. The soundtrack is perfect. It looks amazing on a big screen. Just felt the need to applaud your accomplishments One More Time.
Friday is so far away
JP I’m sure by Tuesday I’ll feel better

I am with you, Jacki. I do not like Dylan’s voice, but luckily, this song is one of those classic songs that is covered a lot. It’s a beautiful Bob Dylan song that sounds better when someone else sings it. IMHO
This is the best version I have ever heard. Mona brings so much emotion to this song through her blues harp. Well, any song for that matter. The harmonica on “Both Sides Now” is angelic.
Mona’s vocals sound kool, too. I wonder if she has ever done a Bob Dylan impersonation? There’s a good one for the next Q&A.
Who can sound more like Dylan, Lisa or Mona?

When We’re Together begins with a short one 2:08
and ends with Nothing Is In Vain, which is prefect at 5:35
Pink Floyd fans know that Echoes takes over twenty-three minutes to absorb
When an artists feels they have to make a song a bit longer, they play the chorus “One More Time” (dadjoke?)

Bill, You are right on with this one. The guitar riffs in When We’re Together are very catchy. The album begins with a nice bouncy feel. There are great bass lines throughout. This has been my ride home music this week.
I love the psychedelic feel of Dreams and Nothing Is In Vain. Dreams is a little trippy, almost hypnotic. The album should come with a warning sticker to avoid driving or operating heavy machinery while listening to Dreams. Don’t get me wrong, I love the song. That video is too kool. Their sleepy walk through the city is so clever.
It just dawned on me, I haven’t watched these videos in the same sequence as the album. What am I waiting for? There’s no one here to blame

I agree with you, Stephen. Orange is timeless. When I first heard No More Worries Company, I thought it sounded like it was from an old 1940’s movie. It was a perfect choice for the sky diving video.
Some albums are best listened to in one sitting, from beginning to end. Orange is getting that way for me. As one song ends, my ears are already anticipating the opening to the next song. And as the album ends, I am thankful that I am not home yet, so I can enjoy The Future again.

Nice one, Jacki. This is such a groovy place.
I was thinking of the Stewartless Canadians on our journey north the other day. These shoppes are everywhere. Their ice cream is delicious. I know you love their Orange Soda.

Kool, we have been listening to When We’re Together lately
Bill, I listened to Orange all summer while mowing my lawn lol
I knew When We’re Together more from the videos. We had a long car trip today and had a chance to really listen to these songs on their own. Dreams and Nothing Is In Vain are my favorites, but we had the whole album on replay. An exceptional soundtrack for our journey.
JP sleepy in the Catskills

Oh ya, that’s right. Thanks David. I love their Q&A’s. Let’s see, it is 11:00pm here, so it is 6:00 am there? No musician gets up that early.
It is almost worse than waiting for the waiter. Do you think MLT knows some of us go crazy with anticipation on Thursday nights? I am thinking one twin wants to click and post, and the evil twin wants to make us wait a little bit longer. Not saying who’s who.
JP is sleepless in the Catskills

There is almost nothing better than black coffee and “Good Morning Sunshine” turned up to eleven for a real wake up morning ride to work.
I too have a daily commute, one hour each way. I go through some country roads before the highway and see a lot of deer, especially lately. They have been very active. Are they smart enough to fatten up for winter, or maybe it is just a high volume of Covid fawns?
I have been listening to “When We’re Together” a lot lately, and so have the deer. This evening I came upon a group in someone’s front lawn. I love to slowly roll up on them and roll down my window. I try not to startle them. It’s so kool how they will just stand there and stare at me. I will try to get a pic to post next time. The beautiful harmonies of “Dreams” was playing softly out of my car window. They seemed to enjoy it. But then one shook their tail a little and they all got the “Danger, danger Will Robinson!” warning and darted into the brush.
To end the day, a little Orange goes a long way.

Thursday goes too slow
I’ve got Friday on my mindMona hinted,”.. it might not be a video, we haven’t decided yet.”
I have tomorrow off, so I will be clickety-click all morning…Liverpool is 6hrs ahead of E.S.T? I wonder what time the Wagner’s rooster crows.

That is a kool one, Jung. That cat looks a lot like my Tex. It’s funny how cats will bring their kill back to the house. I don’t know if they do it to brag or complain that they are not being fed well?
OMG I just realized the typo in this post. The title is supposed to be “My cats”, not “Mt Cats” (mountain cats) Now I understand the big cat question. Proof read, proof read….

Member23/09/2020 at 03:10 in reply to: The Lost recordings: Penny Land and Strawberry FieldsYou are right, Jung. These are just perfect the way they are. Reminds me of that German TV show when they were outside leaning on a tree singing perfectly. Let’s see, lost tracks from another decade, aspiring musician doing covers of their songs, in-house recording studio, devoted fans around the world. A rock&roll dream come true. I am so stoked for their next move. It feels like the calm before the storm. JP
