I stumbled upon MLT while Youtubeing one day almost 2 years ago. They immediately blew my mind! I was hooked instantly! I don’t know how I didn’t see their videos sooner. I’m always watching Beatles videos. Even after all these decades.
I was just starting to come down with health issues a month after I turned 60. They have really helped me pull through the last nearly 2 years. I couldn’t thank them enough. Watching all their videos then getting all their music really brightened me up! Even though I was a drummer originally I was also interested in guitar. I had an old 1970 something Sigma acoustic guitar with action so high you could drive a car under the strings so I bought myself a new one, A Fender. I already had a Telecaster (I’m more of an electric guy but mess around on an acoustic once in a while), I’m no where near as good as these beauties but I can bang out some tunes! I can’t pick to save my butt though unless it’s real slow stuff. I’m more of a rhythm player.
MLT inspires!

I miss the good old days when you got about 2 albums a year from most groups and we couldn’t wait to go down to the local record store and wait for them to open to get the latest records! CDs changed things completely when people started copying them. That was the start of bands getting mad at bootlegging music. Today groups hesitate releasing anything because they’re just not selling like the good old days. I miss the album artwork as well as the music. I still like buying albums and CDs. So much has changed since the 60’s/70’s. And not all for the good IMHO.

Well if you don’t ever come here to America then hopefully you will at least film and release videos of your gigs over in Europe so we can enjoy those. If I was younger and healthier I would come over there to see you in a heartbeat. I always wanted to go to England. Especially Liverpool.

WOW, What a wonderful thing to do! Well done! I know in the past almost 2 years these girls have helped me through a few rough patches as well. The magic of music is REAL.

“That’s life” is definitely a great tune! Probably my favorite off of Orange.
The meaning of life can be found by watching other creatures. After all, humans are just another species of animal on this big blue marble we call “Earth”.

Great video. GREAT troupe of funny men. So sad losing these great people. I love Monty Python. So silly, so funny! Been digging them since the 70’s. I will always dig them! Long live the Pythons!

Love me some MLT originals! That first album is my favorite so far!

Thank you Mona! Ringo certainly kept very good time and his fills were very inventive to be sure. Now Keith Moon for me was a little too busy in his playing but I guess for The Who it fit. I’m not a fan of overplaying or most double bass drummers with the exception of Palmer, Peart, Franco, who to me never overplayed their kick drums. They always seem to know when to use 2 or just one. Jim’s work on Zappa’s Apostrophe was incredible. Zappa always had some incredible musicians in his groups.
Thanks again Mona!

My condolences Roger and I hope you are feeling a better. Life can sure throw us curve balls every now and then. New toys always help one’s mood! Whether it’s guitars, drums, MonaLisa videos, albums, etc.!
Welcome back!
