Hi Mona,

Thank you so much Mona for your very cool and Groovy answers. So many details one could go into on this one.

I love looking for details on your videos that most people would miss. I guess it comes from beong an Art major in college with a Minor in Photography.

When i saw Papa Rudi it was a little strange the first few times i watched it. I wouldnt figure it out. Then right at the end it jumped out at me on about the 6th time watching.

The rain is similar to that of a quick summer pop up storm or from a Hurricane. Lots of wind from those.

No meed to apologise, i know ypu all are very busy, and i knew you would answer when you could.

Thanks again, all the best to each of you.

Hi Lisa,

Thanks so much for the very informative answer. It helped a great deal. The Pizza analogy helped tremendously. (And Made me hungry too.? I even made a homemade pizza ? ?)

Now I will be able to understand the process a lot better.

All the Best

Rick

Hi Mona,

Thanks so much for asking. I am doing better. Had a health concern earlier this week which caused some concern. (You must have had some cosmic ESP).

Loved the answer. What a cool evening and Gig. The Stratocaster looks like Lisa’s first guitar. That’s why I asked.

June is a wonderful song and the setting for perfectly. Even if Lisa poured water on you. (When your under the umbrella.)

Hope all are well and have a very Groovy week.

For me it was the 30’s, 40’s, 50’s & 60’s all rolled into one. Simple times, carefree existence. “Not So Many Worries”, you felt safe all the time, progression of life, and “promises on a warm summers night” the telling of stories that began ” Once Upon A Time”. You met that someone special, you were “In It For Love” even if you felt sorry for him and “Gave Him A Kiss” ?. But through it all ” You’re Still A Friend Of Mine”.

Hello Howard,

I was able to find it in an Instagram post..

You are correct… It is indeed the Austrian Women’s National Team. @aschauerv is Mona and Lisa’s childhood friend. Her team had advanced far enough to be on TV in the UEFA Women’s Euro Cup Tournament.

Thanks again for correcting me.

[Rick Ross]

Hello Howard and Angelo,

Angelo, I would live to own a guitar like that. Unfortunately I don’t have the funds and I don’t know how to play. Thanks though for sending the link and for thinking of me.

Howard, You would think their childhood friend would play for Austria, but something sticks out in my mind about her playing for Australia. Mona and Lisa made mention of the fact that they were going to actually watch TV last year to see her play. If memory serves me correctly their friend had a prominent place on the team and they were so excited to try and catch her while watching. Either way it was a big thrill for Mona and Lisa.

Hi Lisa,

Thanks so much for your answer!!

Wow! Talk about a unique and beautiful instrument. If you all hadn’t gone in the store that day, you would have never known such a wonderful guitar was available. You and your dad did a remarkable job cleaning it up and making it look so Pretty.

I had asked a few people in IFC who was singing lead and all said it was Mona. I guess it was because the video showed Mona having a crush on the boy in the video. If I remember he is a childhood friend. And if I remember further, his sister plays football for the Australian Women’s Team.

Thanks so much for your wonderful answers

All the best and give everyone a big hug from me, including yourself

Rick.

Hi Papa Rudi and Gang!

Thanks ever so much for doing that.

I concour, I believe this is much easier and what most Club members would prefer. For me it just simplifies the process.

Thanks again for your swift response.

All the best to all of you

Rick

Hi Rudi,

 

It’s so nice to hear from you. Thank you for the update and glad your incredible site is doing well and no real problems.

So glad you are enjoying the gifts that are being sent your way too. Thank you personally for your family’s incredible generosity and superior music.

Your Daughters are very gifted musicians and I look forward to many more years of great music.

All the best

Rick

Hi Lisa,

Thanks ever so much for your answer.

I read somewhere when I was researching your Gretsch and Mona’s Ricky that they both weigh about 8.5 lbs.

I didn’t understand the technical aspects of either one, but that’s ok I know you all Do and that’s all that really matters.

You are so Super GROOVY, that I can’t help, but feel the same way.

Forever a Fan, I wish you the best always.

Rick

Lisa,

How cool is that. All the technical things that are so time consuming, but make for so very interesting stories, and production.

Putting John Sebastian in front of the white screen then doing some video editing( much like a green screen) is a wonderful invention to create realistic scenes.

Thanks ever so much for your wonderful answer and insight.

Massive best wishes

Rick

[Rick Ross]

Lisa,

Thank you for your wonderful answer. Talk about something special. The Tennessean (my home state) is a Special one indeed. Chet Adkins was a Huge Country Star and you often saw it when he played.

I hadn’t seen the pictures before. Thanks for sharing.

[Rick Ross]

Lisa,

Thanks ever so much for your wonderful answer.

I agree with Jung and Howard, no matter the instrument, rest assured if you all play something you don’t ordinarily play, its going to sound polished.

Thanks ladies for the beautiful sound you give us each time you strike a cord.

All the best

Rick
