Personal to you
Hi Ladies, I had a couple different things and wasn’t exactly sure where to put them. First, I have a song suggestion. I was listening to a CD from an old band out of Canada (Where I am from originally) called ’The Guess Who’. They had lots of hits back in the day, and were on the radio all of the time. They have a song, which was one of their hits, called ”Bus Rider”, and while listening to it, I thought immediately of you two and that it would be perfect for your style that you love. Check it out! ;o)
Secondly, My year in the club has flown by, and I have barely had a chance to be in here. I am always on the go. Next month it’s done. I probably won’t be renewing just because I am never here. Once I am at home, I can rejoin. I love your music and still have all of your CD’s with me in my vehicle. I wanted to thank you two, and Rudi and Michaela, and the team in your store for always being great to deal with. I believe it was Anna I was back and forth with when ordering. She is very proficient and friendly. She’s a keeper! Michaela sent me a few of the responses as well, just lovely people, all of you. I wanted to wish you all the very best in case I don’t get the chance to get in here before my membership expires. God bless, and stay safe. Brad????

Hi Brad!
When we first got into vinyl a few years ago, The Guess Who’s “American Woman” was amongst the first records we picked up at a charity shop! They are a great band and we just listened to “Bus Rider” for the first time. That was a fun trip, we loved the guitar licks! I also know what the soundtrack for the rest of my day will be now … 😉
We are grateful for your support this past year and completely understand your decision not to renew if you don’t have the time to make use of the MLT Club 🙂 You will of course be welcomed with open arms if you ever decide to pop back in. You can always just join for a month here and there if you’d like to catch up with what’s happening from time to time. Whatever works for you!
Thanks for the kind words to all of us, we send you all the best!
Mona & Lisa (and Michaela, Rudi & Anna :-))

Hi Brad,
We all hope you have the opportunity to return to the Club! No pressure! 🙂
Oooh Lisa, The Guess Who, American Woman album, what an awesome piece of Canadian music history to own!!! ???????? ???????? They have to be my all time fave Canadian rock band, and American Woman, I think has one of the finest guitar riffs in rock and roll dome! One of the very few great Canadian 60s rock and roll band in the realm of the Kinks, CSNY etc….In my early childish music ignorance, I thought The Who and The Guess Who were the same, but when I learned The Guess Who was a Canadian band, and American Woman was a Canadian song, it felt even more sweet.
This video is an example of when a song is so good, it escapes all bounds of time and physics! It’s magic, truly timeless, sounds as good today as when it was first released in the 60s! I’m sure only a few songs can keep the crowd going for this long. ????❤

All the best to you Brad, come back and visit when you can!

https://test2.monalisa-twins.com/members/jacki_hopper/ Hi Jacki. I was from Windsor, Ontario originally, and lived in Calgary for a couple years also. I hope that I responded correctly. I tried to put it in your box, but it just kept taking me wherever I am now, ????

Hi again Ladies, ???? It’s funny Lisa that you mentioned the guitar licks in the song because as I was listening to it and thought, “hey, this would be great for the twins,” I exactly thought about you with that short-necked guitar you use (I am not insulting it, I just don’t know what it is called, and I have never seen one before)playing those licks, and your dad playing the keyboard part, and Mona on the drums. All of those parts are really rocking in that song. There’s no sax for your stepmom, but I don’t think she plays with you any longer. I have rarely even seen your dad playing still, but my favorite song of yours hasn’t changed since the first time I heard it, ‘Still A Friend Of Mine’, and your dad plays that beautiful white grand piano in that video. As far as the club goes, I will definitely be back. It’s amazing the feeling of family I got even in the few times I was there. You two are really special, and you have attracted the greatest of fans because of it.
Thanks for making me feel welcome always. I’ll be a lifetime fan, Brad ????

There are two or three forums where i drop in one or twice a year and catch up.
Give it some thought. Don’t be a stranger.

Mona, Lisa … Here’s a fun one to cover—”Your Nashville Sneakers,” a non-hit by the Guess Who. Silly lyrics and a full minute of great guitar and piano solos. “Your Nashville Sneakers always drag me down, down, down down.” Papa might really get into the piano part. You could for sure top the original version. The whole thing is kind of in the same spirit as “The No More Worries Company,” with its surprise piano break. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1nWFfb56hg

I don’t know how to do a group text, but whoever sees this, please let the rest know that I really appreciate the nice responses, and the notice that I will be welcome when I come back. I love the twins, and I will be back, I just am so busy now I am never able to spend any time here. As you can see, I don’t even know how to work the messages, LOL.
Thanks to everyone for your kindness. Brad
