Happy Birthday Nima. Hope it was a great one.

Right now most of my hobbies revolve around going to Orthopedic surgeons and pain doctors……. as a result of previous hobbies of professional mogul skiing, ski racing, motocross, weightlifting, racquetball, golf, water skiing, swimming, tennis, car racing, 4 wheeling and a little skydiving, parasailing, climbing and hiking. Of…

There is one I think may have been mentioned here that is two brothers and a sister named “Lifein3D“. They are just vocalists and have exceptional range and harmonies.

I just ran across some of the most talented young people I have ever seen. They go by “Missioned Souls” and are out of Cebu City. The oldest sister is 17. She rocks…

And Tom and George. They had two older brothers that were born deaf. One of the five just passed. Alan Osmond I believe was 74.

OH Canada! One of my favorite songs. I celebrate every July 1. Randy Bachman that you posted here is one of my favorite musicians. He gave an incredible speech at a gathering I went to in Calgary 5 decades ago. I wished I had met him at the time but did later a few years ago. I just didn’t know it. He was at a table in a restaurant next…

WOW. I had heard the official video, and it was good, but it seems to me that their best is in the live versions. I like this better than any other version or artist. Thank you for sharing that. Sorry REM and Johnny Cash. I especially like “Breathless”. I first heard the video and thought oh, that’s interesting. Then I heard the…

Thanks for posing that Jung. I have never seen that video and only vaguely remember the song. I need to find my Beatles CD’s. It’s amazing how a black and white TV show can sometimes beat the experience of a digital song.

Please send some this way. We have hardly had over 14 inches the whole year. We have had so little snow in Utah the ski reports only have a few runs open, and most is made by the snow machines. I’m not complaining about not snow shoveling though and haven’t been able to ski since 1992 so I’m not too heartbroken, but my snowboarder family is forlorn.

The good news is he will be back and able to sing some great songs in Spanish. For the time being, they could have a poster of him or cardboard cutout to keep the 3D name.

Wondered where Devon went. But the older brother and sister are still at it and just dropped “My Heart Will Go On” a few days ago. It is really good. Devon will be missed. His low powerful voice was great to listen to.

Yes, I had found “Lifein3D” just before a discussion here about musical family groups. These guys are great. I ran across the John Denver song “Country Roads” and was very impressed. Their “Unchained Melody” is wonderful. Their voices are unique and powerful each in their way. I love seeing how the girl “Darla?” rises in that song to…

I knew her as a singer too and then watched a documentary about her being a great drummer and didn’t want to come to the front of the stage as just a singer. Thanks for sharing that, she is a spectacular drummer. When I saw the title, she was the first one to come to mind.

There are some real fun videos on YouTube of “The mad drummer.” Not…

I heard them live in Park City Utah in 1984? Best concert and performance I have ever been to. Just cool as can be. Outdoor venue with big band sound. Front row. I mentioned it a couple months ago. A 5 mile line of cars and I just cruised past on my Goldwing motorcycle. Parked at the top of the multiple parking lots. Walked a few feet…

“How do you like me now?” A funny Toby Keith song about a girl being horrible to a guy who went on to be a superstar.

I think Canadians have been banned………. Just kidding. I love Canada. I can see this post and your later post, but not the one that you mention being the day before. Hope you are enjoying the warmer weather. I still shiver a little when I think of Edmonton and Medicine Hat or Lethbridge. Not that Calgary was any picnic in the winter. …

Beautiful bike Daryl. I’m envious. I don’t have one right now. Gave my Honda V65 to my son and my Goldwing to someone else. I’m looking for something new (to me). I’m a die hard V65 fan and don’t want anything less – but am open to something more. I’m considering the Triumph Rocket 3 but am still looking.

I’m sorry to hear about that. I lost my dad almost 30 years ago and it is my hardest loss. I could hardly speak for a week. I’ve been through a lot of death and lost relatives lately. One was a young man that did not feel loved, accepted or that he had friends. That one hurts in even a harsher way somehow, even though I had only known him…

I had a bit of an affinity to the “Sloop John B” song since I’m John B. 😎 I have a great memory of playing a “Best of the Beach Boys” tape on a night ride on my Goldwing from St. George to Las Vegas. Cool night, cool songs, cool friend on back. In Utah in the 60’s and 70’s. There were like two camps those that voted Beatles best and those…

That’s the name I was searching my brain for. “Martina McBride”. I just discovered some of her music a couple weeks ago and like it. Male singers with some songs I like that I forgot, Toby Keith, Blake Shelton, some George Straight, Scotty McCreery. I can enjoy the low, powerful voices. But, I’ll never get into some of the “truck ran over…

I don’t think there is a day that goes by that I don’t listen to MLT, it’s just part of my playlist and my heart. My current addiction is “I Should Have Known Better”.

My current listening is several times a day to a cover of “Sittin on the Dock of the Bay” by IMY2 a band out of Nashville. The girl singing has a wonderful voice and the way…

Possibly my best concert ever. An outdoor amphitheater at what at the time was Park West Ski Resort. Rode my Goldwing with my date and cruised past about a three mile line of cars, right up to the front of the parking lot, walked in and found some friends that had camped out overnight to be right in the front few rows. What a show. Mike…

Three that come to mind are “The Jetts” not sure how popular they were or for how long, but enjoyed their music and ran across them in high school. A Tongan family from Utah. Lately YouTube served up a video from “The Corrs” and I quite like some of their songs like “Breathless”. Someone mentioned “Larkin Poe” a few years ago and I’ve…

I’m with you there Jung. I just lost my wife to Dementia and Alzheimers brought on by Lyme Disease. Good music helps so much. The Great music and joy of MLT brings joy to the world. I was picked up by their music years ago when I was having some health battles. Stepped away from music for about 4 years and now the trials are even worse,…

One last one and I’ll quit pestering the forum here. I found a French Albanian guitarist named Laura Cox. She does an excellent cover of “Sweet Home Alabama” but another I had not heard in a long time, the song “All Right Now” by the band “Free”. There are lots of other good covers and original music with her band. https://youtu.be/pZPmfclGXOQ

Very well known, except to me. Just found this amazing Australian guitarist. Not sure where her Albums chart but I’d say she might be well known. She toured with ZZtop at 16, played with Prince, Joe Bonamassa, Michael Jackson, Carrie Underwood, Richy Samboro and many other artists. One of the top female guitar players. Orianthi…

Known by how many??? I’m going to cheat a little. Somebody knows them. I do now. This set of brothers and sisters are impressive for just entering the business. They have some great covers, but the older boy in the middle has a great voice. They harmonize really well.

https://youtu.be/tnlPCnb1hrI

Known to many, but only recently to me. Since I am a Beatles fan YouTube served up a cover of “Oh! Darlin” by the Nashville band IMY2. It was a good cover and on my playlist of favorites, but I looked and she had a cover of “Sittin on the Dock of the Bay” by Otis Redding. I hadn’t heard it probably since Top Gun so I clicked. Annalise has…

One of my favorite songs. I’ve only heard it from her. To me her voice is amazing. Good song to include.

Definitely from one of my 8-track tapes. One of my favorite groups.

Love the Seekers. She had/has an incredible voice. I am amazed I did not think of this next song when we were talking about love songs for Valentines Day. This Seekers song is one of their top hits. https://youtu.be/kKySE1Ukupg

Thanks for sharing that, I hadn’t heard that in a long time. So GOOD. I love Dan too.

I’m with you David.

My favorite varies, but right now I just totally love this one. “I should have known better” is great.

Love that one. Dan has always been one of my favorites, but I’ve only known the songs played on the radio. Thanks for sharing the gems that some of us may have never heard of.

While I was listening to Dan, Jim Croce came to mind. I think this one fits the love song genre and may be especially interesting for someone that may not have heard…

Excellent song. Haven’t heard that in ages.

Seems to get a bit stranger each day for me. My favorite artists are Austrians from Liverpool, lots of Australians, Swedish (RIP Marie Frederickson), Russians, a French\Albanian guitarist, A Hungarian guitarist, Now Romanian and even a few from my own country. I feel like an international explorer.

I watch a version from from the Andy Williams show. He asks Bill Medley what he does when Bobby sings it alone. He replies – I sit in the corner and kick myself.

Sorry, YouTube keeps feeding me songs while I type. If I can get Michael Jackson’s teen voice out of my head, Mariah Carey hits this out of the park.

Kind of a Love Me Again song. Sadly, I’d kind of forgotten about Toni Braxton. Here is:

<div>Not sure if this was mentioned. </div>

Not sure I saw one of my favorites. Sorry if it has been mentioned. “How Do I Live Without You” by LeAnne Rimes. Here is a version she sang at a concert with Elton John (who I know has some amazing love songs, just can’t think of them right now)

https://youtu.be/5SF6CFUONnc

Not sure I saw “I Will Always Love You” by Whitney Houston. It would be nearly impossible to improve on her version with her voice, but there is an excellent version also by Lucy Thomas that my playlist just rolled on to.

https://youtu.be/ETrbRH4F7nE

I’m surprised I didn’t mention one of my favorites. Of course, “Unchained Melody” by the Righteous Brothers. I had the amazing experience of hearing Bobbie Hatfield sing it live in a small group years ago after he had lost his voice and then worked to get it back. This incredible song has not been covered well a lot, but a version by…

Forgot to ask, what is the location of that group? I’m thinking they are Russian and that’s what the accent that leaks through seems. I’m amazed at some of the incredible talent that I see coming from there.

That’s an excellent version. A couple excellent voices and some good harmonies. I ran across them a few weeks ago and of course the name stuck out to me since it is the same as one of MLT’s songs. I think I was distracted from my distraction and didn’t mark or go back to check out their other songs. Now I will. After listening to a few…

I know Valentines Day is over, but this is a great discussion of love songs and many good ones I was not aware of. I had one more I’ve run across recently.

It is Keith Urban doing a cover of a BeeGees song. “To Love Somebody”. Done in a tribute special to the BeeGees with the last of them, Barry Gibb there.

Sorry to hear that, Tom. I hope he wins the battle. I just lost my brother from a brain tumor a couple years ago. Now my sister has lung cancer and maybe a few months. I’d be an orphan then, except for adopted family. Those friends that have turned into more – family. My adopted sister battled brain cancer a few years ago and beat it…

Good to see you here. Rumors of my death were greatly exaggerated and I’m back. Though I do walk a little like Michael Jackson in Thriller. I started listening to a lot more music lately and noticed “I Should Have Known Better” in my playlist. It was so well done it reminded me of all that I had been missing. I was happy to see your…
