And I have met a lot of great people here and you are definitely one of them Tom. Thanks a lot.

I’ve just learned that Tom has an amazing memory!
Honestly, I don’t go a single day without contemplating some of the things I’ve found out from other members in this club. I wonder if anyone, MLT included, had any idea that this place would become such a great resource for sharing all sorts of information. I’m a better conversationalist because of my experiences here.
-
Actually i spent quite a while refreshing my memory poking around the gen’l discussion threads. But i agree about what a repository this forum has become.
Cheers

Wow Tom, you make a great point! I’ve learned so much here at the MLT Club too and been able to share so much with MLT and all the wonderful members here. It is indeed a treasure trove of wonderful experiences the MLT Club keeps on giving! I couldn’t imagine my world without it these days.
The MLT Club keeps getting better: Another blast from the MLT Club past!

21..I learned wooden cutlery makes a great percussion instrument.
-
22. I learned the Ukelele is actually a very expressive and awesome musical instrument. In fact Lisa is Mozart.
-
As I said in my original Youtube post on this video: I always loved this clip! Makes me smile every time I watch it!
-
“Oooh la” on Lisa’s Mr. Soft solo…priceless!
-
-
23. I have learned that I should perhaps deal with Beethoven in more detail after all.
I would like to join David and Jung at this point: The MLT forum is a wonderful place where you can talk about the music world and learn a lot of new things about music and sometimes also of things that one would not have expected in a music forum. I have not come across anything like this before.
-
Juergen,
you need to find a post by Jung in Gen’l Discussion presenting an hour of Beethoven’s influence on Rock-n-Roll produced by Deutsche-Welle. It’s right up your alley. It’s about a year old. Last December.

It is so awesome that in these times we can all Come Together on just about any subject that we put out there, we learn from people from all over the world and it all started with a family all together making the best Music allowing us to be in the best forum on you tube. It all started with 2 young girls from Austria wanting to sing and play Music from over 50 years ago. I have become more relaxed and blown away by everyone in the MLT because of our Love of 2 wonderful ladies and their family realizing their dream and we get to watch that dream come true, we are a part of something really big!!! I have also learned that I can ask questions like this one, does anyone know what awaiting moderation means in ask Mona and Lisa and how I can resolve that, I don’t believe they can see it on their end.
Thanks to everyone in the MLT family and I believe we are all apart of the MLT family!!!
-
Walter, in my experience, “awaiting moderation” happens when you include more than one link to a photo or video in the same post, or copy and paste a large amount of text from a website. Sometimes MLT clears that out, and sometimes not.

-
Yep. The cure for the lockdown blues. Mostly.
I forgot to mention Paul Krauss defends the Big Bang Theory very well.
Thanks to David Herrick. More about that later.
-
Walter, multiple youtube videos will definitely put you in limbo for a while.
I used to be the biggest culprit, but i’ve changed my ways.
They have always ultimately responded. Weeks later. Cheers.
-
Thanks guys
-
Tom, Thanks for the compliment!
24. I learned from Alan Smith that Stealers Wheel ‘Stuck In The Middle With You’ inspired Sheryl Crow’s ‘All I Wanna Do’. I’ve also learned we have a lot of incredible people in the club. I’m honored to be a member.

I have learned MLT fans are the best. What’s so crazy about peace, love and understanding?
There is a wealth of information here about The MonaLisa Twins, as well as a wealth of information about everything else – just ask. Lisa and Mona have assembled a fine collection of fans who are more than willing to share stats and stories about our favorite past time, music. Did I ever tell you about the time I slept on the sidewalk in line for Pink Floyd tickets? I think it was during March 1994. It was pretty uneventful. I had a warm sleeping bag and actually got a few hours of sleep. I did get tenth row on the floor. It was a kool show in June 1994 at the Carrier Dome in Syracuse, NY. Wow I thought that was gonna be a better story. Wait a minute, that was 27 years ago? Wow Time flies.

Oh ya, the other day I got home from work to find a box by the front door. Marlo told me to put it in the spare room, and do not open it. It weighed about 30 pounds and I swear it smelled like an Orange. ????
-
JP, 10th row on the floor for a Pink Floyd concert sounds pretty great, and well worth the overnight camp out for the tickets. And not to mention the fond memory of it you will never forget.

I’ve learned that Advent can be a lot of fun and I’m looking forward to seeing what MLT has planned for this year.
