Hi John
That’s a wonderful thing to run into other MLT fans in the wild. It hasn’t happened to me yet, but as MLT fanbase continues to grow, it will start to become a more regular occurrence. It’s a good sign of things to come.

Hi David
I also find the music that stand out and moves me the most are the sad, melancholic, or hauntingly beautiful ones. These songs, the good ones while sad, has a longing beauty behind them that has the effect of lifting me up. The 3 songs you mentioned are like that, while sad, it’s beauty consoles. MLT’s “Close To You” while sad has so much longing beauty, I swelled with tears when I first heard it driving to work one morning, but they were cathartic tears that lifted me up. “Goodbye past, is it true that the good things don’t last”. Sad but true, but expressed in the most beautiful and moving way.

Hi JP
Thanks for sharing your heartwarming and beautiful story. I am so glad Marlo got through those tough times and is doing well. Count On Me is such a moving and powerful song about being there for the ones you love, and being able to count on someone no matter what. It is the most precious gift in the world to have someone you can count your life on. Marlo is so lucky to have you!
Another song that Mona and Lisa covered, that is an incredibly beautiful love song that captures the essence of loving and being there for someone is Bob Dylan’s “It Aint Me Babe”. After many decades of relationships, this song certainly says it all.
You say you’re lookin’ for someone
Never weak but always strong
To protect you and defend you
Whether you are right or wrong
You say you’re lookin’ for someone
Who’ll promise never to part
Someone to die for you and more

Hi Jurgen
I love that Schubert quote! And all so eloquently stated about how music can transport you to a fond place in memory or a wonderful place of imagination. I can relate to all of that completely, as so many times I hear a song I haven’t heard in a long time, and I feel volumes of emotions from a specific time or memory long forgotten. Another strange effect music has on me, especially 60s music, is the nostalgia I feel for that time, a really deja vu kind of feeling of the 60s times. Songs like Time of The Season, San Francisco for example, but the strange thing is I was only a toddler in the 60s. I never experienced those things first hand, yet the feelings and nostalgic feeling of the 60s is so vivid. I think when a song is masterfully written, it transports you to the mental state of the composer! MAGIC!

Hi Chris
She is a great bass player and enjoyed the jazz piano and keyboard work. A really easy going feel to it and wonderful musicianship. Thanks for sharing it.
-
David, what an amazing story about how that song came together. Some real cosmic alignment going on there with the wallet for sure. I didn’t know it is two songs they put together, Age of Aquarius and Let the Sunshine In. The effect worked together magically.
-
Tim,
Yeah great song, one of my faves from the 60s. When the song feels so good and you are liking it, at the “let the sunshine in…” part they take it yet to another level and the emotions soar! Great video too!

Hi Tim
As the guy says at the end “NIIIICE!!!”. Yeah they knocked it out of the ball park, love it. The vocals were great too. Thanks for sharing it, really enjoyed it.
If Mona and Lisa are thinking of covering another Beach Boys song, Sloop John B would be my vote! Their harmonies would do pure magic justice to this.

Hi David
Great idea, it would be awesome to meet up one day. This MLT Community has brought together so many wonderful people, it certainly would be exhilarating to share our passion for MLT and music in person. And if people took pictures when they meet and post it at the Club, wouldn’t that be cool. I hope we can all get to do that!

Hi Jacki
What a fascinating video, thanks. I can imagine when that bell goes off and you are in the tower next to it, your whole body would vibrate to those bells. Me and MJ almost made it to Ottawa back in 2019 just before covid, was in Montreal to do a cruise, and just ran out of time unfortunately. It’s one of the places In Canada I want to see and visit the parliament building. Will call you up when we make it out that way. Fun fact, my close cousin, Yonah Martin, whom I introduced to the Beach Boys when we were kids is a Senator and is often in Ottawa. The first Korean Canadian in Parliament.

Hi Tim
Yeah, that powerful organ bass really grabbed me in this video. He makes use of the full force of that mighty pipe organ.

Hi JP,
Yeah I absolutely love the counterpoint that comes in at 4:30. He resets those dampers and holy smokes! The interplay between the two voices just sends chills! It’s one of the most beautiful moments in all of music I think. It even sounds great on piano, harp, guitar etc.

In the piano version that counterpoint starts at 3:00

Another amazing song by the Beatles, “Got To Get You Into My Life”. I think they started a whole new rock genre with this song consisting of Chicago, Doobie Brothers, Little River Band etc….
-
Hi Jurgen, some really nice Saxophone playing and the drums too. Reminded me a little bit of Chicago with the brass section, with a funk sound all their own.

Niice David, a great blast from the past. Is that a Hammond I see?
