“Make Me Smile (Come Up And See Me)”! Yep! Don’t they just put a smile on your face with all their endeavours. No wonder people like me are talentless. The MonaLisa Twins got all the talents!

“Down the road, down the road, down the road apiece”!
“Down the Road a Piece” is a boogie-woogie song written by Don Raye. In 1940, it was recorded by the Will Bradley Trio. Famous covers were recorded by Chuck Berry in 1960 and The Rolling Stones in 1965.
“Now if you want to hear some boogie like I’m gonna play
It’s just an old piano and a knockout bass
The drummer man’s a cat they call eight beat Mac
Mama’s cookin’ chicken fried and bacon grease
Come on along boys it’s just down the road apieceWell, there’s a place you really get your kicks
It’s open every night about twelve to six
Now if you want to hear some boogie you can get your fill
And shove and sting like an old steam drill
Come on along you can lose your lead
Down the road, down the road, down the road apiece”.I agree with you that the time is right for a poster or a MLT Club Gallery, but I also believe the time is ripe for a paying event.

Ah! I think we are on the same page here Jung. I have been considering another potential income stream for the MLT team. I was thinking that maybe they could consider devoting some time to a guided tour of their studio. This could include whatever guitar collection they have at home, drum kit/s, all their other instruments and maybe a tutorial on their actual recording process.
Throw in an acoustic recital, accompanied by tea and scones/muffins and we have the makings of a wonderful event. Of course they could also add their beautiful collection of art. All they’d need to do is advertise well in advance to give time for all their overseas fans to organise a visit to Liverpool. I’m sure they could do the maths on how much to charge in order to cover their time, expenses and a reasonable profit to contribute to the capital needed for future ventures.

Please ignore my original request Rudi. Tomás Has solved the problem for me. And congratulations on the new beaut server. It is indeed much quicker after some initial teething problems.

Yes, it is much faster, and thanks Tomás for the heads up regarding Crome. It has solved my problem.

Well, I’m just about to enjoy a groovy pot of tea right now Jacki. I will enjoy it in one of my seven groovy MLT mugs, along with a couple of hot cross buns. Wouldn’t it be nice if the team produced their own groovy teapot for us to appreciate, along with their mugs? The one I’m drinking out of at the moment features them both wearing sunglasses and Mona displaying her very own, unique Elvis Presley scowl!

Just how many guitars do you own! I guess even if it was just a poster of your favorite guitars would be better than none. I wonder how Keith Richards keeps track of his 3,000 guitars!

Paul McCartney, 1972: “Give Ireland Back to the Irish”.
John Lennon/Yoko Ono, 1972: “The Luck of the Irish”
“If you had the luck of the Irish
You’d be sorry and wish you were dead
You should have the luck of the Irish
And you’d wish you was English instead -

“Our lips are sealed!“ Now there’s a song you could cover, but it’s not from the sixties. Actually from the horrible eighties and first recorded by The Go-Go’s in 1981. I eventually found out that I wasn’t the only one who thought that Belinda Carlisle was singing ‘Alex the seal’. I hope you don’t mind me adding a link to their video.

Beautiful and poignant Jacki!

“I worry more about some clown trying to be “fresh” with one of you 2 girls honestly.”
I’d pity anyone trying to mess with either Lisa or Mona! I believe they’d be very assertive in such circumstances and would have plenty of back up if needed anyway!
-
Nice choices John. I’d substitute “Who’ll Stop The Rain” for “Have you ever seen the Rain” though. For Steppenwolf, a big challenge would be, “Monster/Suicide/America”.

Nine out of ten Tomás. Excellent work with this one again. Perfect background music and pics too. Pleased I managed to get so many correct this time before the options came up. I must admit I’m getting better, a little better…. all the time! Really disappointed I missed one though. I’ll have to do my homework in preparation for the next one. There will be a next one, won’t there?
By the way Jacki, it doesn’t click for me either. You just need to keep the stats in your head. Kind of like an honesty system. MLT Club members aren’t the type who need to cheat. They just keep striving for perfection like MLT!

Great story Tomás. I’m not a musician but find these back stories fascinating. So much history there and the Beatles’ guitar tradition is being carried on through the Twins with their Gretsch and Rickenbacker. Nice to have such an intimate experience of their guitars in the video ‘Baby Mine’. I’d love to see a photo of all their guitars together!
