Hello from Northeast Ohio
I joined the MLT Club several months ago but thought I should introduce myself before commenting on the recent MLT post asking what life is all about. My name is Bill and my wife’s name is Linda. We have been together since high school (our parents said it was just puppy love) and married after we graduated from college. We have two adult sons and live in the Exurbs of Cleveland about 45 minutes from the Rock Hall.
I have read that many here are musicians. I tried as a teenager but found no matter how much I practiced; I was never going to be a good musician. During that same time, I found photography to be my creative passion and have made a 40-year career of it. But I have never stopped loving music, especially “60’s” music.
Last fall while I was searching YouTube for the Beatles, Google recommended the MLT cover of “While My Guitar Gently Weeps.” I clicked on it and wow! Next Google recommended “You’re Going to Lose That Girl.” As I listened, I remember asking myself, do they sound better than the Beatles on that song? Yes, was my answer. After watching a couple more MLT videos, I went to Google play and purchased 5 MLT albums. (I didn’t know about the MLT store at the time.)
My original reason for joining the MLT Club was to help support the YouTube videos and new MLT music. While I truly enjoy the various covers, it’s original MLT music I really love. There is just something special about it. When I am having a difficult day at work, I put on my headphones, play Orange and the stress goes away.
But as I ventured though the content in the MLT Club, I found so much more. I listened to interviews and heard wonderful acoustic versions of songs I enjoy. I found creative photography and art. I saw the hard work of a small team to develop things such as this club and make it a reflection of their personalities and their fans instead of a generic Patreon site. I learned about the long hours Mona and Lisa put into become the musicians they are. Most of all, I learned about a wonderful family. I am happy to support team MLT and looking forward to seeing where this musical journey takes them.

William, a warm welcome to the :
Really enjoyed reading your post. I can’t agree with you more about how special MLT original music is. I listen to Orange on my earphones almost every day to and from work, or else anyone of their other albums.

Welcome to the Club William. I appreciated your introduction. I too had a similar experience just a year ago when I first stumbled on the MLT on YouTube. I couldn’t believe how good their work was and that it had taken me ten years to find them. What a treasure trove I had discovered
You’ll enjoy being in the club.

We’re happy it made you stumble across our music and thank you for following your curiosity into the MLT universe!
So cool to hear from a photographer. I’ve been getting more and more into photography over the last few years and it brings me so much joy 🙂
Even better that you were able to turn your passion into a career.

A sincere welcome to you Bill!
The Twins certainly seem to attract a variety of artists. Congratulations, I have great respect and admiration for any artist that can make a career out of what their passion in life is. And yes, Lisa’s photography skills are awesome too. I guess the gift of creativity can naturally expand over into many artistic disciplines.
