Hello to Mona and Lisa, Michaela and Rudi
My name is Patrick DeBlasi,
I discovered your videos on YouTube in April, and I’m so glad I did. My Father passed away on April 3. I stayed with my mother while I was shutting down their house and preparing to move her. She is 83 and has dementia, and can’t live alone. One evening that first week without him, I was sitting at the kitchen table one evening watching various videos of people covering Beach Boy songs on my iPad, and my mom sat down next to me to watch. Then I searched for Monkees covers, and I found the two of you playing I’m a Believer at the Cavern Club.
I never know what my mother is going to remember, but she remember that song and asked if you had any other videos. So I searched, and we spent a couple hours sitting there watching MonaLisa Twins videos! My mother loves Lisa’s bright red hair. You actually lifted our spirits. You’ve given me hope for the future of music because I really don’t like what’s out there nowadays.
So we moved mom from Connecticut to Florida and I live in Indiana. I play several instruments (bass, guitar, violin and several brass instruments).
I enjoy your music and your videos but I want to give a big shout out to Papa Rudi the sound engineer. I run sound equipment on the side, mostly old school equipment, and I know how important the sound engineer is and how little recognition they get! I would actually love to meet your father and learn a few things from him!
My best to you both, and your family.
Patrick
