I admire survivors. The Stones just keep rolling. Nice find Pascal.

It’s so inspiring to see these great legends continue to keep the flame going. Mick and Keith still got the magic. Nice one Pascal. I would love to see Mick and Keith’s reaction if they saw Mona and Lisa’s awesome performance of their song. I’m certain two big thumbs up!

Hi Pascal,
thanks for posting that. I’m not a very big Stones fan (it must have something to do with Mick Jagger), but I really like Paint it Black by Mona and Lisa. This is one of their cover versions, which for me personally is better than the original.
But Tom is right: that the stones are still rolling is remarkable. Apparently there’s more to a long, fulfilling life than just eating fruit and doing lots of sports. ????

Upon discovering the MonaLisa Twins, this was (and still is), one of my favourites. The acoustic guitars are almost flamenco, giving a whole new flavour to the song. Then, upon joining the club, I was just as blown away by the Cavern Club electric version. Can Mona and Lisa, with band, rock n’ roll, or what? Still with Rolling Stones covers, The Last Time is just as groovy. Quite a bit faster than the Stones, with Mona driving the band like nobodies business.
Ah yes, the Strolling Bones. You have to admire their longevity. Miss Charlie Watts.

We saw the Rolling Stones back in October 2021 at Heinz Field here in Pittsburgh where the Steelers play and what a show! Mick is 78 years old and he was running from one side of the stage to the other, and yes, miss Charlie Watts dearly, my hero. When Paint it Black first came out in 1966 Brian Jones did the sitar on this track and when I hear it I always think of him, wow how sad he past away in 1969 at the age of 27. But I agree wit you all, Mona and Lisa do such a great job on this song from the acoustic version to the Cavern Club. And I agree I feel Mick and Keith would give it a thumbs up for sure. I feel Donovan would do the same with Sunshine Superman with Mona a driving force on this song to the fabulous slide guitar that Lisa does. So I ask….How lucky are we to have Mona and Lisa in our lives??
