I like a few of Neil Young’s heavier tunes. Definitely Cinnamon Girl, Keep On Rockin’ In The Free World and Mr. Soul. I have a CD of an album Rush made years ago called Feedback. It was all covers of songs that influenced them. I thought their cover of Mr. Soul was really cool.

I always liked John Lennon singing this one. There’s a great live version of the Beatles doing this one on YouTube but when I first found the Twins a little over a year ago it was one of the ones I kept replaying, it blew me away, Mona completely owns it like nobody else. The whole band just nails it. I had the same feeling with their version of Nowhere Man. Two of my favorite Beatle songs and I couldn’t believe any one not named The Beatles could play it like that. I’ve listened to it 100 times and it still blows me away like it did the first time.

Jung,
John had so many great songs and I always liked his Beatle songs more than Paul’s. It’s funny because I liked Paul’s solo work more than John’s with exceptions for Imagine, Instant Karma and a few others. I remember first hearing Come Together on the jukebox of one of our local cafe’s. I thought it was the coolest song ever even though I had no clue what they were singing about. I was only about 10 years old when it came out. I still don’t know what they’re singing about but I still love it.

Daryl, that is how one should live their life if they can, by doing the things they like to do. It’s tough when your younger trying to raise a family, pay bills and put food on the table but when you get the chance to enjoy life you should take advantage of it. Our creator gave us the gift of life and we should enjoy it. I’ve realized that a little late but it’s one thing I’m trying to teach some of the young ones I know. Life is too precious to waste it.

Alex hardly ever shows up on anyone’s list of top guitarists but he’s always been one of my favorites. He can do so much with a guitar.

Daryl, here’s a link to Mr. Soul by Rush on a different channel, maybe it will work for you.

It works on my end Daryl, Idk, I know you’re a Rush fan so it’s worth checking out. The whole album is great.

I joined the club on Dec. 16 2022. Not sure why it says Oct. 2022 on my profile. That’s when I ordered my first MLT Cd. I only got to experience the last 7 days of last years advent as it was happening. I did go back and and watch all the previous years advents and livestreams several times. I agree this years advent has been the best yet. To be able to join the Twins so often and chat amongst all the club members has been a unique experience. It is like a family sitting around the living room sharing stories, enjoying the season and the spirit of Christmas. This has been very special and I’ll be a little sad when it’s over but can’t wait to see what they do next.

Jung, that sounds familiar. I often hear Mona and Lisa saying they like to change things up or try different things to make it interesting, different harmonies, different instruments. I think real accomplished musicians get bored doing the same things no matter how good it is, I’m sure the Beatles were the same.

Yeah it certainly is amazing. I just think they were all growing in different directions and becoming individual artists, each with his own ideas. Maybe that’s why it seems to go in so many different directions as opposed to creating songs for the band. There’s so many great ones on there I forget some of them until I listen to the album.

Hi Dan
I love the white album. It was the first Beatles album I actually owned and listened to extensively. So many great songs from John, Paul and George. I always liked John’s singing voice better than Paul’s, even on their earlier records like Twist and Shout and Help. There was something so cool about that cry in his voice. I think Paul was the best songwriter and liked more of Paul’s solo work than John’s. On the white album I liked all of John’s songs like Dear Prudence, Glass Onion, Bungalow Bill, I’m So Tired. I really liked Happiness Is A Warm Gun. It includes another lyric that I always misheard. When he says “I need a fix ’cause I’m going down, down to the bits that I left uptown”, I always thought he said bitch, Lol. I still sing it that way.

That looks like a beautiful place to live Daryl, really pretty with all the snow. We had some snow earlier but it’s been in the 30’s & 40’s for a couple weeks and raining for 2 days so the snow is gone. Seems the last decade or so we been getting more snow in late January and February. I’m in no hurry for it. The fire in the stove looks nice and cozy, nothing like the instant warmth of wood heat. I live in town now but grew up with wood heat and my Mom used a wood cook stove her whole life. I still help my brother cut and split firewood. I enjoy being out in the woods during the fall. Great way to live.

Jung, I like that train. It would be fun to take the ride around the park in the train looking at all the lights.

Daryl, I’m not sure if Chad had left the band or not before it was called The Guess Who. I think it was originally called Chad Allen and the Expressions before Burton showed up. Mona and Lisa talk about it on their WOTT video about American Woman. I remember The Guess Who mainly with Burton Cummings and Randy Bachman. Sounds like, according to Randy, they were all still friends, they just had different beliefs and couldn’t agree on the rock n roll lifestyle. Even Randy’s brother Tim left the original BTO line up because him and Randy couldn’t agree. I guess Tim liked to party a little. My niece met Tim Bachman once at Daytona Bike Week.

Another one that passed in the last few weeks was Chad Allan. One of the founding members of the band that would become The Guess Who. I read his memorial on Randy Bachman’s Facebook page.
