Hi Howard. Yes it was on that Q and A video, and I could not quite make out the rest of Lisa’s joke either. Maybe a good question to ask. Always love hearing back from them.

From Janis Joplins Mercedes Benz to the latest angelic Little Drummer Boy highs, Lisa’s singing depth and range is spectacular, and Mona’s singing range from a raspy John Lennon’s Revolution to breathtaking depths in Steve Harley’s Best Days of our Lives is incredible. Individually as singers they are both as good as the best of the best in the music world ever. Karen Carpenter, Whitney Houston, Barbra Streisand, the list goes on for some of the greatest rock/pop female singers each with their own strengths (I bet none of them can do Hey Bull Dog as good as Mona and Lisa). Mona and Lisa I think would fit right in that company of greats easily based on the broad singing range they are capable of. While the Beach Boys and Beatles did awesome harmonies, for the Master of Harmony title the star shines brighter with Mona and Lisa in their sheer harmonic beauty in my opinion. This is why Mona and Lisa can do the variety of covers they do so spectacularly staying true to the essence of the originals while giving the listener a truly unique refreshing experience with these classic songs. As a result they have created some magnificent sounds in their originals like The Wide Wide Land, I Don’t Know Birds that Well, Waiting for the Waiter, Club 27, Sweet Lorraine, Count on Me, and Still a Friend of Mine, and the future glitters ever so bright for them with their new creations with this kind of remarkable talent.
On another thread I argued Lisa belongs in the company of some of the greatest guitarist that ever walked the earth. I extend that to singing as well along with Mona.
For the doubters here if there are any at all, just put your head phones on and listen closely to San Francisco, Best Years of our Lives, and most definitely Little Drummer Boy. Also If I Fell, This Boy, God Only Knows, You’re Going to Lose that Girl, You Really Got Me, White Room, Time of the Season, Morning has Broken, Yesterday…the list goes on.

That would be a great video indeed.

Wow that is inspiring Lisa. I got to get out there running more.

Wow some really passionate and lively discussion today. Howard, you articulated my thoughts in spades and more. I wish I had a fraction of your insight into the music world. Mike, while we may differ on the path to get there, I think we are aligned in the outcome. MonaLisa Twins incredible talent, and musical magic needs to get out there for the world to experience and be touched by.

I was also blown away by Mona in Twist and Shout. She really shines in that video. The best of Ringo and John Lennon all rolled up in one there. John said he nearly injured himself.singing the screaming part in that song, but Mona pulled it off so wonderfully all while drumming so perfectly. When I saw that performance I knew Mona is an incredible talented powerhouse just like big Sis Lisa!

Even if they can use Eurovision as a tool to gain visibility, it can be a huge distraction from their creative output and growth too. I don’t think MLT ever put much faith in contests or get famous quick short cuts in the past, but instead relied on their own talent, creativity, and ingenuity on their own terms to get them this far, and changing gears to gain support for a contest now I think could hamper the momentum they have built.
It’s always healthy to have an open mind and look at new options after you’ve executed the current plan through to completion.
Just my opinion.

Howard, “If I Fell” is a great one too. On the Radio interviews there are some great harmonies as well like “Help”, and “She’s Leaving Home”. Mona and Lisa are really masters of harmony as they can sound so good with just their voices in “Little Drummer Boy”.
-
That’s great Mike that Peter is familiar with MLT covers and loves them. Be sure to send him a link to the Little Drummer Boy video when it comes out. Mona and Lisa’s harmony on that are sure to impress him. Wouldnt it be nice to have MonaLisa Twins Little Drummer Boy on Sirius radio airwaves this Christmas.

Forgot to ask, as this is a discussion forum, what do you think of Sweet Lorraine?
-
Thank you Lisa for sharing more about your grandmother and the additional insight into the song. Your explanation helps me to better understand why my mom enjoyed the wide open countryside and seemed to take comfort when I use to take her there. ????????❤

Well stated Howard. Mona and Lisa’s vocal harmony alone is a precious enough gem that must never be broken apart. They are so beautiful together in every way, so tight as a musical duo, as I listen to Little Drummer Boy, I can’t imagine them pursuing solo paths. The beautiful music they make together is a force of nature, so unique in the whole world.

Absolutely Jim. Welcome to the MLT Club!

Hi Lisa
I’m not sure how common or easy it is to find original cut Beatles vinyl from the sixties, but found this one, Rubber Soul, in the last used record crate of what felt like the last used record shop I could find in the city today. I came across many new Beatles LPs, but wanted an original from 1965 with all the little pops and scratches, and got this one finally in good condition with no dreaded skips. The owner at the record shop even checked the number on the vinyl on the internet and confirmed this is an original from 1965. Somehow listening to it (even in in mono) sounds like a piece of music history. 🙂
