Well I don’t think we have to worry about Mona and Lisa ever not being in the driver’s seat of their own musical journey. It’s just not in their DNA to be in a supporting role with their music, as they are artists foremost. They have a great musical destiny to fulfill with all the talent and skills they need within team MLT and they know it.
We all greatly enjoyed the impressive collaboration MLT did with Mike Masse in producing the Africa performance video, earning great accolades from Totos Steve Lukather on MLTs absolute brilliance, as well as the collaborative Beatles cover of If I Needed Someone which was just as brilliant. I would love to see an MLT only cover of that song one day. If MLT decide to collaborate with Mike Masse again in the future, it would be for fun, and I cant honestly see it being more than a collaborative effort on a song or two if any.

I think these guys in their mid to late 70s should be an inspiration to us all. There is no such thing as being old.

Have a listen to what John and Paul have to say about people doing covers of their songs.

Hi Angelo. That is a unique looking guitar with sound/air vents andwhat looks like speaker grills on the body. What kind of guitar is that? Congrats with it, and hope it brings much joy, and thanks for sharing.
As for great Beatles cover , when I said “pales in comparison”, I didn’t mean technical/musicianship proficiency only. I am sure there are a lot of tribute bands in Liverpool and all over the world that sound as good or even technically better than the Beatles in their heyday. It’s the differentiation the MLT bring that is special and why others pale in comparison.
This reminds me of a debate I had with a friend when he said “why listen to a cover no matter how good they are, I only want to hear the original. I can see his point. Unless I just want to be entertained by a perfect replication cover for nostalgia, I would 100% go to the original Beatles or Beach Boys song over listening to a cover version. The magic for me with an MLT cover is a new experience I get that is some how more enriched than the original and attracts me back to listen to it again and again. MLT know how to preserve the essence of a song that makes it great in the first place and creatively add their own personality to it. I very much enjoy the Beatles Getting Better on Sargeant Peppers, but I enjoy Mona and Lisa’s acoustic cover evenmore because of their more colorful harmonies. For methe experience of listening to the cover must have some differentiation from the original or what is the point.

Listening to Orange looking at an orange sunset over the back drop of Maine from the Atlantic east coast. A little MLT music joy in this little corner of the world. Sweet Lorraine!

Agree Richard. When Sweet Lorraine comes on in between Beatles songs and it fits right in and sounds as good, that’s a real testament to the MLT. Now throw in some breathtaking Mona and Lisa signature harmonies that they’ve been doing lately that not even the Beatles ever came close to, and we’ve got the makings of a new sensation.

Happy 64th Richard from Bar Harbor Maine today. What an absolutely awesome birthday cake!

I have to say I’ve been spoiled. I saw a Beatles show last night on the cruise ship. After MLT Beatles covers, everything else pales in comparison, unless they build a time machine and you can transport back to the 60s to see John, Paul, George, and Ringo play in person.
But it was still enjoyable to see some people play live Beatles music. There were some nice live Beatles guitar sounds. It’s interesting they pointed out how a single guitar chord of A Hard Days Night is instantly recognized by almost everyone. The guitarist came on stage and belted out one chord, and everyone in the audience knew what song it was. Only a Beatles song could do that. The greatness of the Beatles!

Abbey Road. Can you spot the 5th Beatle?
-
Which Beatles album featured the 5th Beatle?
-
Agreed Howard. MLT has stated from the start their priority is their original music creation and I totally support that.

I think with some creative arrangement, MLT could transform Whiter Shade of Pale into something brilliant and special in their own style while doing it great justice just like they did with Time of The Season. Thanks for the info about Whiter Shade of Pale. I didn’t relate it to Bach, but I can definitely see some resemblance. I’ve always felt rock, especially in the hard rock guitar riffs, there is a lot in common to classical music of Bach and Beethoven. They come from the same place I think. I would love to elaborate more on that here, but I’m currently on a cruise ship on the Canadian Atlantic coast and I can only find spotty wifi at coffee shops at occasional port of calls this week. Fortunately missed the path of hurricane Dorian by a day and a half.

In the spirit of this post, some 60s non Beatles songs I would love to hear MLT do would be.
Procul Harum. Lighter Shade of Pale. I could just imagine a creative MLT version of this one would be stellar.
Turtles, Happy Together
Kinks, Tired of Waiting for You.
Beach Boys. I think MLT arrangement of Sloop John B or Wouldnt it be Nice would be awesome. Or Then I Kissed Her reverted back to Then I Kissed Him for MLT.

Thanks a lot Ron! MLT music and all they do just brightens our world!
