Christopher, you are so right. One rabbit hole leads to another. There is so much to see and hear here. It’s really amazing how much there is on this site.

Hi James, welcome.
Lisa and Mona have a lot here covering there entire career, so far. You are just in time. There is a new album on its way. You can check out some of the new songs in the early listening section. After that jump down any rabbit hole, and you’ll find all kinds of kool stuff.
I always recommend jumping into the Out & About section – under the Special tab. These skydiving – marathoners made some very special video’s of some of their extracurricular activities. Beautiful videos with MLT soundtracks. The tour of Hamburg is very kool.
Welcome,
JP

I love the bass here. When I first heard it, I thought the bass could be more prominent, but after I listened more (earbuds recommended) there is a lot going on here. It would be a shame to have the bass overpower the vocals and guitars. Don’t you love the stereo mix of Mona’s blues harp at 1:30?

There is a new discovery around every corner. Am I late to the party? I just noticed Lisa inhaling an air drop underwater. Click this link. I am trying to post it to begin at 4:40

Rudi’s got the bass. I love this one.

Hello Dieter,
Nice to hear from you. There is plenty of areas to explore here. I have been here for a year or so and still feel like I have not seen everything. I found them through their Wish You Were Here video, and after playing it a few more times, it’s so good, I dove in and began a journey of magical discoveries.
Have you seen Lisa and Mona’s skydiving video? It’s amazing!

These earlier sessions are special. Close To You is a good one to show Lisa’s guitar face. I love watching her play. When she hits a solo she sometimes has a very serious face as she gazes down at her guitar. Her playing is very precise, yet so relaxed. It’s so impressive that I think she is looking down to marvel at how talented she is.
I really like the session for Two of Us. It feels very spontaneous. You can hear their smiles as they perform. I like this thread, too. I am trying to think of a song that really evokes emotions in me. As far as MLT, I would say Count On Me and I have to add their cover of Vincent. Chills for sure.

To go along with the thread I will try to come up with something else. I also play David’s whack-a-mole game and try to read every post. You all have some great ones. Jung, are you familiar with REM’s The Wrong Child? The guitar and mandolin sound a little Zeppelinish to me. The lyrics can hit pretty hard on the emotions of being alone or left out,but it’s okay-ay.

I can still remember the first time I heard She’s Leaving Home. My older brother bought the album for me and I listened to it with headphones, those old big ones, and I was blown away. I think I was twelve or thirteen. The music alone invokes a lot of emotion.
So later in life I found these Angels that have recorded a cover of this song that stands up with the original. Watching their performance evokes tears of joy at how beautiful it is. They are both so talented. It like being tied to the mast.

That’s funny, David. Was that a kid’s show?
Jung, I think they were more of a cover band. They were very good. They put out five albums. I saw an interview where the drummer, Carmine Appice, said there was a trend on Long Island where bands were turning covers of pop songs into heavy psychedelic songs. Carmine also played with Rod Stewart and a number of others over the years, including a Pink Floyd track – “Dogs of War”

We got ours. Nice! Thanks for the extra goodies. Another pick to add to my collection-and it’s Orange!

Happy birthday, Jacki!
Hope you have a great day,

I like your analogy of comparing the Duo Sessions to art exhibits. At least here we don’t have to worry about parking.
Scrolling through this thread I am reminded of my inability to choose a favorite Duo Session. They are all so moving that it’s almost impossible to rank them. The live stream felt like a private Duo Session. We were witness to true art. A lot of artists rely on so much post production that their true voice disappears. MLT adds just enough reverb to make their natural voices just a little more clear.
If pressed, I would say the next Duo Session I click on will be my favorite…for a moment.

Hey Jung,
Thanks for finding that pic of Mona with a bird eating out of her hand. It’s impossible to describe without being cliche.
eat out of the palm of someone’s hand: A reference to the way an animal must be tamed before it will eat from someone’s palm. To obey, cooperate with, or believe with no resistance or hesitation; to be completely charmed by.
Hi Diana,
The story was great. I think everyone did a good job of following a basic theme. Although, I think we were supposed to do it with blinders on and not dig way back. That was nearly impossible with so many people participating. Either way it was a lot of fun. The reading was very special, indeed.

Jung, that skiing dog video is funny. I bet that dog has a great personality.

I listened to a bit of Kate Bush a while back. She has a very unique voice. This song was used on the soundtrack of a Kevin Bacon movie in the late eighties. Now that I say that I remember it was the nineties when I was listening to her. Seems like yesterday? She always surrounded herself with talented musicians, well it is just her in this one.
David Gilmour produced her first record. I think she was nineteen at the time. He would later play on her albums and on stage with her band.

When a musician becomes one with their instrument, it’s difficult to not watch them. These two are really amazing. Thanks for sharing this one.
