Welcome to the family Rick! The Wagners are wonderful, special and remarkably talented people and the joy they bring is unique and warmly welcomed! The people that follow them as you have seen already are very friendly and loyal. You have found a special place!

Good point about the cover band idea Michael….we certainly want anyone we tell about the MLT experience to go and check them out, and introducing them through a familiar song would probably go a long way (especially considering the covers are SO well done). But if they do take the time to do so I would remember my own experience of finding them through a cover on You Tube and then joyously discovering all of their beautiful originals that were there. The power of You Tube is not only are you able to hear and enjoy the song but you are able to see the girls and how infectious they are also. Plus the way You Tube is constructed the originals will come to you once you start searching.
…..and I totally agree about “Still a Friend of Mine” 🙂

Hi Jacki….I am so sorry to hear about the sad anniversary you experienced yesterday. it sounds like the two of you were very close and I’m sure her loss was devastating. But thankfully you had the magic of the MLT music to help get you through the memories you were reliving. They are also lucky to have such a dedicated heard working fan as you to count on for support. I hope today is a better day.

I found the girls through their video of “God Only Knows” on you tube almost 3 years ago. My two favorite bands are the Beatles and the Beach Boys; sort of a 1 and 1A type of ranking, and one day after a particularly challenging day at work I found myself watching you tube waiting for my wife Maria to come home. I wanted to find an alternate cover of God Only knows to enjoy so I began searching. One of the selections that came up was that of a pretty red haired girl with headphones on singing into a microphone. With my curiosity peaked I clicked on that video and was completely mesmerized and blown away by what I saw and heard – a perfectly constructed stripped down version of one of my favorite Beach Boy songs that showed complete respect to Brian Wilsons original. The way the harmonies were layered and constructed with such delicate structure I felt that I was listening to angels. To say I was completely knocked out and won over at that moment is an understatement. After listening to the song two more times I wanted to hear more. I found their cover of “You’re going to lose that girl” and had the chance to enjoy their rocking side and as they say the rest is history. Needless to say I couldn’t wait to share my new treasure with Maria and all of our friends.
To wrap up and come bag to topic every act, band or performer that I follow and admire have one big thing in common- that hook, that sometimes unexplainable thing that draws you in, captures your attention and makes you go back over and over. Sometimes its visual, sometimes its what you hear or how it makes you feel. So to me Mona, Lisa, Michaela and Rudi achieve all of that consistently with much care and effort and that is what makes the MLT music great. 🙂

Such a great question and thank you for bringing it up!
As said above it is a topic that can be talked and written about for hours, but if I had to pinpoint the reason for the greatness of the music of Mona and Lisa is that it makes you feel so good.
Not to get political but with the way the world and society is becoming it is such an amazing blessing to have something to be able to go to that will “take you away” and never fail to put a smile on your face. They have an amazing knack to pick the best songs to cover and do so very respectfully to the originals while making them all their own. I also feel that the Wagner family is a very special one- the sort of people that you would love to have over for dinner and hang with and their unique personalities translate perfectly into their original songs and videos. Of course I am a child of the 60s and to have such talented young woman share my musical tastes so enthusiastically and translate them so beautifully into catchy songs is amazing on an extremely high level.
As I am sure everyone on this chain can agree, I consider myself so lucky to have found the MLT videos and songs and my life is much better because of it. 🙂

Hi Jacki!
If I had my druthers I would perform “You’re gonna lose that girl” with the girls, singing background harmony with Mona and playing guitar. That would absolutely be a dream come true as its one of my favorite Beatle songs, one of my favorite covers of theirs and such an infectiously happy video!
Thanks for asking such a fun question!

That is excellent! First of all very well deserved and second of all what a terrific way to spread the news like pollen around the world! As Michael states above the fact that you have been added to the playlist of the Beatles Channel means more and more exposure and play time. This is really wonderful news and completely has made my day!

It is an absolutely wonderful thing for them to do. So thoughtful and kind. Just one of many kind gestures that adds to their music and videos, bringing even more joy and happiness to their fans and followers.
Merry Christmas and happy Holidays to all of the MLT family! 🙂
