Hi JP. Mona’s flute on Any Other Day is just remarkable, really adds to the impact of the song. It impresses me so much how Mona and Lisa can just learn an instrument for an effect on a song, and can play it so amazingly well. Incredibly talented and yet so modest. I’m glad Mona took up the flute over trying to be a tree, HAHAHA. 😁

Hi John, a great question.
For me it was youtube that sent me MLTs cover of San Francisco. I’ve told this story here before, but it was around March of 2017 while I was still grieving my moms passing away the year before. She passed away in 2016 after a long courageous battle with dementia. San Francisco was special to me because it was the last fun trip I had with my mom before dementia took her. After she passed away, I couldn’t watch family videos of our San Francisco trip in 2004, or any other family videos, as it was too painful, even though I wanted to. I even put on Scott McKenzie’s San Francisco that I always loved, and it did not help either. Then one evening I found Mona and Lisa’s cover of San Francisco on youtube, I clicked on it, and immediately their beautiful singing and harmonies transformed my San Francisco experience with my mom to one of beauty. All the pain and sorrow melted away into one of of just absolute beauty and joy.
Through Mona and Lisa’s sublime harmonies I was able to see the beauty that was all around me and my mom when we were there, and how that was such blessing. It was as if Mona and Lisa’s singing voices grabbed and lifted me from heaven and set me straight like a couple of angels. All the scenes they filmed in San Francisco were exactly places I went with my mom, the hill overlooking the Golden Gate bridge, the little park in front of Ghirardelli chocolate factory, the winding Lombard St, Fisherman’s Wharf sign, the Cable Cars…everywhere, like that video was meant for me to see. Their music and talent are extremely special, like a precious gem in a huge ocean floor of rocks and sand. Whew, always get emotional when I tell this story.

Hi Mike, a big welcome to the MLT Club, so glad you joined. Loved reading what you wrote, and I like that MLT Mondays, dedicating a day to the MLT. Great idea. Their covers really brought me back to the old classics breathing new life and perspective into them, and their originals, wow. Mona and Lisa are paving the way for the future of rock and roll. They are taking all the best aspects of the 60s/70s music, and adding their own brilliant talent and style into their originals. Their music is looking forward to the future, innovating rock and roll. The guitar work in This Boy Is Mine is great, and you just don’t see that kind of musicianship anymore.

I love the magnificent image of Neve in flight on the album back cover, and the MLT pens!
It’s hard to imagine that little fluff ball, “pretty little thing”, chasing Mona and Lisa around in their backyard, has grown into such a majestic animal in the sky. “So many things to see from up there”.
Godspeed Neve and Frankie!

Hi Daryl, well said, couldn’t agree more! I saw that movie Fly Away Home too, it was so touching.

An absolutely amazing MLT October I will never forget makes way for a beautiful November and images of their Sugarman Duo Session. Mona and Lisa flex their diversity muscle and do a beautiful and stunning Sixto Rodriguez Sugarman performance. No matter what the genre, they do superb justice to any music style they touch. Love Mona’s beautiful classical Spanish guitar sounds and Lisa’s beautiful vocals making this song all their own, and Lisa is amazing on the bass. Right up there as one of my fave Duo Sessions.

Hi David, you framed the perfect picture, of that incredible special feeling when you find that perfect person meant for you, and what is so remarkable is how MLT captured that incredible feeling and expressed it so beautifully and perfectly in a song. That is magic, and I think the highest achievement in music!

Thanks Daryl. It sounds like your place would be my favourite place to go trick or treating if I was a kid, to see the grown ups dressed up and spooking us out as they gave out the candy! Hope you had a great Halloween.

Any Other Day transports me to such a wonderful place, that I don’t want to leave! It pulls at my heartstrings, such an absolutely timeless and beautiful song! Those lyrics raises goose bumps. Genius song writing.

Hi Christopher
Pretty Little Thing fits in perfectly with the flow of the album, and gives it an additional dimension. It’s like a thematic counterpoint that is such an awesome way to end the album. Everything just all fits together so well.
It was so awesome listening to Why? via blue tooth in the car! Joyous MLT moment.

Hi David, wow some pretty imaginative scenarios. I like the first scenario the best, but your vivid descriptions of all 3 scenarios remind of that 60s classic song In the Year 2525. The way things are going with virtual reality technology and AI (artificial intelligence) doing everything for us, I envision a 4th scenario, which I hope does not happen, and that is the Matrix. Remember the Matrix with Keanu Reeves? We just become brains in a petri dish connected into a virtual reality world, like the Star Trek Holodeck. Come to think of it, if that were the case now and we’re all living in a Matrix world, we wouldn’t know the difference anyway. Hmmm…
