For the 6th day of Christmas, 6 geese are laying is supposed to be representative of the 6 days of creation. This only makes sense if you consider all of the songbird references in the tune The 12 Days of Christmas, beginning with a Partridge in a pear tree.
FACT: The Tune The 12 Days of Christmas is loaded with songbirds.

John Lennon took up for tambourine players when asked in a 1980 interview about the imminent Beatles breakup apparent in the “Let It Be” movie/recording sessions on the silver screen.
John remarked about it, “It was like, ‘It’s because you got the tambourine wrong that my whole life is a misery.’ You know, it became petty.”

I thought the last Led Zeppelin album was great. The recording had a distinctive studio sound to it, and great songwriting on every track. You were always going to get a bargain, but Zeppelin’s mastery of the instruments was second to none, with loads of fabulous lead guitar notes. It was a big sound.

The eponymously named 2005 album from The Village Green is great. I can’t believe that was 16 years ago, but it’s still quite a sound. Take a listen —

It’s an electric rhythm guitar-focused tune. We’ve got to convince Mona to play it and Lisa to take an electric lead guitar break, but hearing both their voices singing it and it having this big sound would be fabulous.

Let’s collaborate. It’s the perfect next-in-line MLT cover tune — you can hear the sound of energy just pouring out from it. Mona and Lisa applying their matchless vocal duets to it with the MLT touch is well worth going to the trouble to ask. I’d pay good money to hear a restricted MLT Club take of this song and take a vote.
That picture is probably how they’ll look when they hear about 10 seconds of this song.
One or both of us would have to approach Mona and convince her to try. After she heard this, it probably wouldn’t take much convincing. It’s a rhythm guitar based tune. There’s a little lead guitar part if you listen for it, but not much. If Lisa wanted, she could pull together several versions of her own killer electric lead guitar track for this, and just drop the best one of them into the mix.

Same here, Jung. You’re exactly right. It was a happy sound that had a youthful appeal to it. It lifted your mood to hear it. The subject matter in the lyrics wasn’t real complicated, and there was always a melody line present. Even now, their recordings sound fresh. Toward the end, that cheery outlook changed a little, but as for the music, I’m glad they held together as long as they did. Later, all of them absolutely regretted parting ways. Ringo was eventually pretty torn up about it. In one interview, he looked almost despondent, unhappily remarking, “It’s not like we knew the exact point; it wasn’t like, ‘Hey, fellas, Last Album…Last Song…Last Take'”.
As I recall that interview was part of the Anthology series. Ringo took it hard. As you know, you can see him bringing his song, “Octopus’s Garden” into the studio, and Harrison taking immediate interest in Ringo’s piano playing. I also liked his rendition of “Going to Carolina”. I hadn’t heard that before and it was sounding good in the rehearsals from the Get Back movie.
