Hi Bernd,
Although I’m mostly German (with a splash of Polish and a dash of English), I only speak about five words in German, and can count to about 12, LOL. (Thank you Howard for translating). Anyway, I wanted to say Herzlich willkommen!!!
Mona and Lisa have created something sorely missing from most of the music coming out lately… namely music that actually matters, and has real heart and soul!!! This community is a great way to share our love of Mona, Lisa, Rudi and Michaela, and they music that they’ve created. It’s also a way for us to make amazing friends… friends that hopefully will last a lifetime!!!

Hi Rudi,
I can’t speak for everyone… but I sure appreciate all you do!!!

What a great question and responses!
I’ve never had the opportunity to see Paul in concert. The closest I ever came to a Beatle was when I was in the US Navy and played in a band on my Aircraft Carrier. We opened for a USO show and the producer of the show had just finished a tour producing Ringo and his All Star Band.
My first concert was Ted Nugent and The Cars in 1976. I’ve had the privilege of going back stage to meet Deep Purple twice, and I’ve seen them a dozen times. Both of those concerts were very memorable. Probably the best show I’ve ever seen would be a toss up between ZZ TOP and Brook and Dunne… both concerts were incredible! I’ve seen hundreds of concerts with bands of all genres, and I loved almost every concert… except one – I saw The Specials in 1983, and they were absolutely the worst band I ever saw!!!
Of course, when I finally get to see MonaLisa Twins live… and meet them… that will most likely become my greatest concert experience EVER!!!

Watching that clip that Mona linked to the “Good Morning Starshine” scene from the movie Hair… that is none other than Beverly DeAngelo herself singing it! I prefer the MLT version…

Bill Withers was such an amazing soulful singer and writer! Ain’t No Sunshine was one of my favorite radio sing-a-longs! In fact… I usually find myself singing along when ever his stuff comes on! Very sad…

Oh my gosh… I feel so honored to have both of you answering my questions… Thank you both so very much!
I tried a digital pedal board controller once, and about a week later, sold it to someone and returned to my analog pedals, (the chorus and compressor). I just found that the digital unit destroyed the sound (I described it as becoming very muddy), and I vowed never to use another! But I agree with you, that the guitar straight into the amp producing the purest tone is best (I only use the chorus to add slight depth, and the compressor for boost during solos).
I would like to say that I’m going to try flat-wound strings because you both speak so highly of them. I’ve never used them… mostly because when I was young and learning, no one I knew ever used them… so I never even knew they existed! You have me curious though!
Again… thank you both so very much for the continued everything!!!
Fan-for-life Paul

Older… younger… taller… shorter… The fact of the matters is that I love you both equally!

What an interesting and informative explanation. Thank you so very much Mona!

Hmmmmm… I thought Pufinstuf was more like 72 or 73. My, how the years run together when we get this old, LOL!

Jeepers… to think back on what my first musical memories were: I guess I’d have to say The Banana Splits! The Banana Splits (for those who are unfamiliar) were a show on TV in the mid to late 1960s, long before H.R. Puffinstuff. They were these apes (guys dressed up in ape costumes) who were a musical group, supposedly emulating The Monkees. It was my favorite show when I was 6 or 7, and the first record I got was their “One Banana Two Banana” which my mom got for me through mail order. Of course, when I was 8 years old, I discovered The Beatles, and my life changed forever!!!

Great stuff Jung!!! Always loved Randy Bachman, both with the Guess Who and BTO. I’ve played alot of his stuff on bands over the years too!

You hit the nail squarely on the head Brian!!! Well said…

I agree! You always seem to find the perfect way to arrange a song to suit you! Not an easy thing when doing covers…
