Honestly, I get wicked stage fright singing in front of other people, but when I am alone I sing along with almost everything. My audience seems to like it.
Now I can hear the thinkers,”When JP sings by himself, and there is no one their to listen, does he actually make a sound?”
Did the Carpenter’s teach us anything?

We can hear Jung singing all the way over here! Singing along with MLT makes me feel like some one still cares. I have not been able to find any new music that I really like, or that causes me to give it a second spin. The quality of these recordings is fantastic. Please turn up the volume.
MLT’s original songs are just my style. It’s so nice to have new songs that insist on being heard again, and again. I am looking forward to their next release.
Can I add one more question, where does this magic occurr? My voice sounds best in the car, to an audience of one. And do you ever try to do your best Dylan? Sometimes the Dylan voice comes out when’re you hear his songs. I wonder if Mona ever tried to impersonate him. Mind you, I prefer the MLT version of this classic.
I almost hurt myself trying to sing along with Both Sides Now. The range on that song is in the clouds for sure.

Sometimes I still wanna be nineteen forever. Then I make these dad noises when I stand up after sitting too long. Who knew you could sit too long?
This song used to be my rallying cry. Getting closer to sixty-four than nineteen.

Easy there lead foot,
Jung, I have this vision of you driving on the hottest summer day with the Christmas Album cranked. When “Walking In The Air” begins, a dazed smile lights up your face, you hit the gas, and drive off into the sunset.
Some songs have that effect on me, too. I drive an hour each way on my daily commute so there are plenty of instances of this. Umm, “For What It’s Worth” and “Drive My Car” come to mind. Beep Beep Beep Beep Ya
Then again, “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” has a build up that can creep into the accelerator. I can hear Mona’s drums now. And when I arrive home, my floors always need cleaning.
Duo Sessions CD Driving – begin near the end – begin with “Here Comes the Sun” and then it will roll into “Good Day Sunshine” I think that was perfect placement of those songs, beginning and end, sunrise – sunset – sort of – but I have really gotten used to listening to it this way.
It’s like CD’s are becoming Old School. I don’t know if I would have changed the sequence listening on my ipod. One day in the car track 15 rolled into track 1 and I was sure I had discovered something special.
Remember with cassettes you could not easily select particular tracks or play them in a different sequence. If you were impatient, or only liked one song in the middle of the album, you could fumble with fast forward and attempt to find it. Talk about distracted driving.
Let’s not forget about the subliminal effects in “It Ain’t Me, Babe”
Leave at your own chose speed

I agree with you guys. This timeless Christmas Album will become a tradition here. I love their originals.
And I am in love with “Walking In The Air”. I can not wait to take this song skiing. Funny, I did not realize it was a cover. I was giving all the credit to the girls. Well, thanks Howard Blake, but the MLT version is the one for me.
What did they say on Game of Thrones , “Winter is coming”

Coffee Canon is going to give me nightmares. I have visions of stern faced children dumping out cups of coffee into a storm drain..and laughing. They will probably opt to just hum Coffee Canon.

It’s always fun to watch the coffee drinkers wake up. Coffee drinkers always want to tell you how they take it, in case you were going to buy them one.
I just remembered I have some Stewart’s Ice Cream in my freezer, chocolate chip. Black coffee and chocolate chip ice cream.
Has MLT done any songs about coffee?

God bless you, Josh. It’s so nice you were able to share that with Lola.

Howard, I have a basic Mr Coffee cappuccino maker. It does the job, and helps me feel sophisticated.
Now I remember.. (shimmery lights) I started drinking coffee as a teenager. When I learned to drive I would always stop at the Stewart’s Shop and get a cup of coffee to go. it was only sixty cents. That same cup at the same store is now $1.40 (40 years later)
$4.50 for a cup of coffee What are they thinking?

Black cCoffee
i feel awkward when i have to ask for my coffee hot . I do not understand how iced coffee got so popular. Did somebody lose a bet?
black coffee is my drink. If we are talking treats or comfort drinks, make it a cappuccino

Death Wish coffee is top shelf

I like a lot of Pete’s solo stuff. He released “White City” in 1985. It’s an interesting concept album, whose concept does not jump off the page. Some of the songs are kinda dark, but then the story starts to shine through as the songs follow someone’s hopes and dreams growing up poor in a violent city.
I know that doesn’t sound too appealing, but it works. Great lyrics, catchy hooks, and incredible music.
Here is a live performance of “Give Blood” https://youtu.be/tAHUsFgnoBs

John, have you ever heard this reggae version of Sgt Pepper?

If Mona can maintain a tight grip on that braid, wait a minute. Why am I encouraging this behavior? Girls, stop fighting and go to your rooms. Remember you’re both equally special, and equally evil…
Those shirts are a riot!!
