Howard, I can see why you like the Rolling Stones so much. I think they wrote some of the most beautiful ballads in rock music history. My three faves of their absolutely beautiful ballads are “Angie”, “Wild Horses”, and “As Tears Go By”. From a band that does Satisfaction, Sympathy for the Devil, Honky Tonk Woman, etc to angelic pieces like the 3 ballads I mentioned, just go to show the depth and talent of the Stones. Truly one of the best Rock bands of all time!

Just saw the trailer Tomas. That sounds like it will be a pretty interesting and fun movie. The last part of the trailer is hilarious when the real supposed Beatles say Hey Jude was really Hey Dude. ????

Yes Howard, that talent certainly must run in the family. There is that english phrase, a “chip off the old block”, but in the case of Mona and Lisa, they are solid golden nuggets, of which Papa Rudi must be incredibly proud. 🙂

Love your detailed answer here Mona. The years of doing covers and live performances including 2 years at the Cavern and many tours with Steve Harley has certainly enabled you to hone your musical skills into the masters you’ve become. Your two brilliant original music album output attests to that receiving praise from people in the music industry like John Sebastian, Steve Harley and many others. Yourself and Lisa are the few true keepers of the Rock and Roll musical faith that started in the 60’s and extend to today. You understand music as art instead of entertainment with the kind passion the Beatles, Rolling Stones, and others from that era brought forth, and your fans here are so fortunate to have found you.

Wow, can Mick Jagger move, while Watts on the drums look so calm, cool, and collected in contrast. With all those girls screaming so loud in those TV studio performances I wonder if the Stones or the Beatles ever got a little thrown off tune? ????
I know MLT priority right now would be new original music and their 3rd album, but after that anything is possible for another studio cover I would guess, and they would smash Ruby Tuesday should they decide to do it.

A nice choice there Howard with Dead Flowers. Great guitar riff there. I don’t think there would be any guitar piece Lisa would not be able to blow the doors off of. I was totally impressed by Lisa’s Samba Pa Ti at 13, Hotel California a year later, and then While My Guitar Gently Weeps after that.
I always thought Keith Richard’s was the Stones main guitar man, but Mick Taylor looks pretty awesome there.
-
Yes Mike, Pretty Woman by Roy Orbison would be a nice one with a great guitar riff. Another one Howard and Daniel mentioned in other threads are Beatles “And Your Bird Can Sing”.
I was listening to the Rolling Stones “Wild Horses” today, and while not a face paced guitar riff in it there is some beautiful guitar work. It is a beautiful ballad with 2 voices mostly, vocal and guitar in a beautiful conversation with each other.

Just a littler Rickenbacker trivia.
While the Beach Boys were mostly using Fender guitars, lead guitarist Carl Wilson was into Rickenbacker. He had two Rickenbacker 360/12s he used on stage.
In 2000 Rickenbacker released a Carl Wilson Special Edition guitar, Rickenbacker 360CW and 360/12CW.

Nice one Jacki! Really like the blue sky background. Looks like an airplane drew the artwork.

Howard, it’s easy for me to come up with a few songs, but you are like a walking music library. Just heard The Guess Who “No Time”. Haven’t heard that one in a long time, what a gem it was! Thanks for digging these up to enjoy!
Another great 60’s tune that doesn’t have “time” in it’s title, but is all about time is the Byrds “Turn, Turn, Turn”.
-
Wow Howard, that’s an impressive list. I got to dig out the Kinks “where have all the good times gone” for a listen.
I thought of another MLT one. “Once upon a Time”, and Beach Boys “Good Timin”.

It’s pretty amazing the craftsmanship and know how that goes into crafting a quality guitar. Conditioning them in a room full of speakers playing music to them, storing them exposed to music, 150 year old rose wood.. wow. It’s not unlike pianos where makers like Steinway and Bosendorfer in order to create the right sounding sound board use only wood from trees grown in very specific places in the world, and then they store the wood in climate controlled rooms for years just to get the perfect age and condition.
I gotta layoff these quotes, but I couldn’t resist.
I never would have guessed guitars existed even in his day. I wonder what kind of strings he used? 🙂
-
I couldn’t agree with you more Jacki. Mona and Lisa would have no problem doing guitar riff justice with anything they decide to do. It’s just fun to imagine some our faves, what it might sound like if they do it. 🙂
-
Jacki, agreed. Your very frequent creative output of poems and pictures, really inspire, and make me want to create more, so thank you for that. It’s all for the mutual enjoyment of our creativeness which is wonderful.
-
Thanks Howard. In regards to the contradiction I was thinking of the joy and love as feelings and memories of those lasting while nothing good, relationships, good times etc, never lasting, but I can see your point. Perhaps if I modified it slightly to clarify joy and love as feelings and memories, it would be better. Will clean it up.
After I did the poem, “Time is on my side” by the Stones actually came into my head. The Beatles, Rolling Stones, MLT etc who are true artists, no surprise sing about love, time and all those things that matter the most and inspire.
I have a few “skeleton” mechanical pocket watches like the one in the picture. I have one from 1909 that still keeps time and is like looking at history. The intricate mechanical watch movements really fascinate me. It’s kind of like a small scale model of our universe the way the planets, solar systems, galaxies, as well as at the sub atomic level too of molecules, electrons, protons, particles etc all move relative to each other keeping time in essence just like the balance wheel, springs, gears, levers, jewels etc that make up the watch movement. Everything is so extremely delicate in the balance like life itself. If any one part is off, everything comes to a halt. It’s amazing how everything works when things are properly fine tuned in our lives as well as in watch movements.
