Jacki. That is a cool knitting effect you got there. Very nice!

Well Lisa, regardless of the size of the surf board that was really impressive to go out in that cold water just the two of you to surf for the first time like that. Really enjoyed reading your account of your first surfing adventure while in Australia! Outside of music, you and Mona are so interesting and adventurous too. It’s so wonderful to be able to hear things about your lives outside of music. That’s another great thing about being here at the MLT club. And thanks Howard for asking this great surfing question.

Now I’ll take that over any Facebook designation Lisa! 🙂

Hugs to you Jacki and Mike. Losing some one you love dearly is the hardest thing in life. I’m glad I found MLT as their music helped to heal with my loss of my mom 3 years ago.
Today I got a text message from a girl we hired as a companion for my mom for several years while my mom was in Palative care in her final years. She said she was graduating as a registered nurse next week and invited us to her graduation and said my mom gave her the inspiration to go on to become a nurse. While I texted her back to congratulate and thank her, I just broke down in tears. I guess some good can come out of even the hardest and saddest of situations most unexpectadely.
And thanks Howard for your words of encouragement.

Thanks Rudi for all you do to keep this magic mystery adventure tour bus ride going! The MLT site is very impressive with all the features and functions you have going. Every transaction goes through flawlessly always inspiring confidence with quick confirmation emails. All so professionally done! Much to be proud of.

I’ve heard “God Only Knows” a lot of times over the decades by the Beach Boys, but it never came to life like it did when I heard Mona and Lisa do it. In December Mona and Lisa vocals and harmonies peaked to a new plateau for me with ” Little Drummer Boy”. I know some people here did not care for the song itself, ( it happens to be my fave Christmas song), but that is besides the point, the singing was truly sublime. With Little Drummer Boy they stripped away all the instruments except the drums, and stepped out of the Rock and Roll/Pop Genre and flexed their vocal and harmony muscles, and the result was truly remarkable singing. Just loved the way Lisa carried her voice with the highs, and Mona was perfection harmonizing the lower range right along side, super tight. There were some 6 back up voices mixed in the background that sounded like an angel choir, all MLT voices. It was the most beautiful singing I ever heard, ever, in any genre!

That’s a massive and impressive surf board Lisa you braved, and Mona you look like you’re ready to go back in to ride a few more waves! When it come’s to an adventure you’re both troopers. Thanks for sharing that great photo. Don’t forget they have some big waves on Vancouver Island Long Beach on the westcoast of BC should you have another itch for a surfing adventure. 🙂

Mike, I’ll echo what you said about their harmonies. Mona and Lisa’s harmonies are truly remarkable and is what put them over the top for me when I first discovered them 2 years ago on their San Francisco cover. I never heard anything so beautiful before. Their harmonies in “Best Years of Our Lives”, “Little Drummer Boy”, “God Only Knows”, “Count on Me”, “Still a Friend of Mine” among many others are sheer beauty. I think their unique harmony is one of their greatest strengths and they will never go wrong when there is a good dose of this magic in their musical mix.

Well said Howard, and I like that passion you have for MLT.
If music is about expressing what is in the heart as Beethoven said, there is a ton of goodness in Mona and Lisa to come out. Truly good people. That is one thing that really attracts me to them. They are very sincere and pure at heart and their music expresses that too, and I hope they never lose that innocence. “Close to You”, “Count on Me” are just examples of songs that come from a good heart. That is why they are like a ray of sunshine brightening our lives through their music. Yes their music comes from the heart, and that heart is pure, and that is another reason why their music is great.

Wow, what an awesome topic Tomas! I wish I had seen it earlier as it is nearly bed time for me here, but I probably wouldn’t get much sleep now thinking about this. Will say a few things and then probably add more later as I think about it.
Top of mind why I think MLT music is great is, because they are true artists at heart, and they experienced how truly artistically written music can move the soul and make a positive difference in peoples everyday lives like when they first heard the Beatles when they were just kids. They devoted their lives to recreating that magic to be able to move people through their music and art just like the great legends of the 60’s did led by the Beatles who started it all. That is why MLT want to have nothing to do with major record labels, music contests, and everything else that denigrates music to entertainment and a business, and remained independent and maintained control of their music and destiny. Just like the finest watches, fountain pens, or automobiles in the world are crafted all in house, MLT music, videos, and everything to do with their music is done in house cottage industry style.
Just like the Beatles music, MLT music is timeless, and each time you listen to it there is something more you get from it. “The Wide, Wide, Land”, “Nothing Is In Vain”, “Close To You”, “Count on Me”, “Still a Friend of Mine”, “Sweet Lorraine” etc, no matter how often I listen to them, I never tire of them just like when I hear “Let It Be” or “A Day In the Life”. I experience something pleasantly new every time I hear these songs, which is a mark of greatness in a song. MLT music is also very positive and uplifting, and I feel better after I listen to Orange or When We’re Together. Their songs are poetic and they convey a lot of positiveness, love, and everything at the core of the human experience.
MonaLisa Twins Orange, Beatles Sargent Peppers, Beethoven’s 9th Symphony. What do they have in common? The music is timelessly beautiful, and you never tire of listening to it again and again.
Now I can sleep 🙂

Thanks Howard. Yes I love their style and great song.

Just for fun, thought I’d try transcribe some lyrics out by hand with a fountain pen to see how it might look with different types of lines and inks.
click the image to see it enlarged.
Just an excuse to play with my pens too. 🙂

Sounds like a splendid idea, especially with a fountain pen. ???? Would be so personal.

Jacki. I watched original movie/series too when it first came out and I agree Meghan Follows portrayed that character the best. Was my mom and little sister’s absolute fave series when it came out. A real classic. When Howard mentioned ink wells and girls with pony tails, this famous cute scene from Ann of Green Gables just flashed back to me.

For those who are not familiar with “Anne of Green Gables”.
