Awesome Jacki, love your lyricism.

Thanks Jim for the detailed explanation. Makes sense that it wouldn’t make much difference in the electric guitar. It was interesting read about how Donovan suggested sanding down the guitar to the Beatles and they did it to their guitars, but not sure if they continued doing that with all their guitars after that. Certainly wouldn’t have made a difference with their electric.

I lost interest in pop music after the early 90s and got into classical until discovering MLT 2 years ago.
I never associated Grammys to the great bands like the Beatles, Beach Boys Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, Moody Blues, Led Zeppelin etc. Always remember these more soft rock or jazzy mediocre bands touting Grammys back then.

Just curious, does sanding down a guitar like the Beatles did give a better sound? Anyone try it? I guess the logic around that would be by removing all that heavy varnish and paint it would help the body breath better and I suppose produce a richer sound.

Today’s music industry/record labels and the associated awards institutions like the Grammys and a host of others are pushing entertainment and not art. It has nothing to do with whether the music is good, so long as it can be marketed and rake in the $$$. So all the mainstream music all kind of sounds the same and uninspired, and it’s getting worse every decade.
Good news is there may be a slow awakening for good music styles from the past as the current population gradually get fed up with the downward spiraling trend of modern pop music. Talented bands like MLT can bring good music back independent from the status quo music industry machine.

Ah yes Howard Amadeus was a classic. Love that scene you mention. Problem with Salieri was his huge pride that he could not get past which led to his demise.  Now there is Haydn. Haydn taught both Mozart and Beethoven at one point and had enough humility to know greater talent than his own when he saw it, but still went on to become one of the great composers himself well respected in music history for his contribution unlike Salieri.

On a light note, let’s agree to disagree. 🙂

I love this scene about Beethoven.

Genius or innate talent tempered by “life” challenges, made Beethoven’s music immortal.  Beethoven had to work hard for his art, including dealing with the challenges of deafness in his case, and this is why he created music with so much passion and emotion never seen before his time, exceeding all his great predecessors like Bach and Mozart who’s art came more easily.
