I did join the Intergalactic Club only a couple days ago. One of their posts popped up in my Facebook feed and when I seen it was started Jacki Hopper I had to check it out. Seems like fun and hey, it’s more MLT stuff. But I too find it curious and actually, a little disappointing that there are like 2,000 people in that club and only around 700 here. Why?. Is paying $13 a month enough to keep people away? Hell, I find that much change in my pants pocket every month. I used to spend $16 dollars a day on cigarettes until I finally gave up that filthy habit after 40 years. I know a lot of people need to save every penny these days but man, that is such a small price to pay for all the content and just the warm feelings and smiles and even a little bit of pride in helping these amazing artists continue their beautiful journey.

This is an interesting conversation Jung, I been reading all the comments and really kind of wondering why I joined the MLT Club. I didn’t know it at the time but I think I was looking for something very special. I am subscribed to Amy Slattery’s YouTube channel and if you have never listened to her you should check out her channel. She is by no means in the same league as MLT but her Dad is a big Beatles fan and Amy records all the singing and instruments herself and uses the correct “Beatle” instruments. Her and her Dad duo on some of them. Well Amy has a couple videos where she was at the Cavern Club and singing and playing bass with the MonaLisa Twins. I watched these videos a few times and some of the Twins videos started popping up so I started watching them and it’s been kind of like a tidal wave ever since. According to the receipts I bought my first CD “Live at the Cavern Club” Oct. 2 2022. By December I had 6 CD’s and had watched probably hundreds of videos. They were playing in my car, On my PC, on my phone, I couldn’t get enough. I was also watching all of their Q and As and interviews on YouTube and just fell in love with them. When I watched the advent calendar reaction video of their first concert and earlier videos I wanted to join the club just to see the rest of the reaction videos and the Christmas Livestream which was so much fun. Needless to say I am still falling. Something about the whole experience that keeps me coming back and while I look forward to each Friday, I like to come in and see what you all are talking about and maybe chiming in. It’s funny because sometimes it has nothing to do with Mona and Lisa but most of the time it does. I like looking at all the pictures and reading all the comments and even doing a puzzle or two and listen to the Jukebox. All of this typing and I still haven’t said WHY?, why I joined the MLT Club. Maybe it’s because I was missing something. September 2014 I lost my two closest sisters and my wife all in one month. In 2020 I lost a very close older sister and my closest brother. I’ve always enjoyed life, and still do but I think I just needed something special to be a part of that makes me feel good and this club certainly does that. I love everything about it and hope to be an active part of it until I die. I’m thinking of taking a stereo and some CDs with me when I go so I can listen to Mona and Lisa in Heaven, I wonder if they are wired for 110 volts or 220? hmm.

Congratulations!! I hope you have many more.

Hi Jacki, The air quality here in Wisconsin doesn’t seem to be as bad as Canada and Eastern US but I know some people with breathing issues that are having a difficult time. It was quite hazy here last week. I hope and pray for rain to put out those fires. We could use a lot of rain also, been a very dry spring. Take care.

Hi Mike. I’m from Wisconsin. I worked a year in Marinette WI along the shores of Lake Michigan. Beautiful place. Hope you enjoy the club. Welcome

Jung, I always have MLT on my mind now, or on the PC or on the car stereo, Lol. Friday On My Mind is a great tune and fitting for The Twins considering their connection with Australia. I always liked the song since I first heard it years ago but never knew much about The Easybeats until YouTube came around. George Young and Harry Vanda were the co-founders, songwriters and guitar players for the band. George Young was the older brother of Angus and Malcolm Young who formed AC/DC in the 70’s. George and Harry produced AC/DC’s early albums and George played bass for them on occasion. Here’s a clip of George and Harry with a post Easybeats venture called Flash and the Pan “Hey, St. Peter”. I know you’re an AC/DC fan so you may recognize George’s outfit in this video. https://youtu.be/RgOMxTxWPuQ

Nice post Leif, for a long time I thought Suzi was a UK artist. I too first heard of her from the appearances on Happy Days. I remember her doing Heartbreak Hotel, quite a good little rocker Miss Quatro. Happy Birthday Suzi Q.

Hi Phil, I’ve been in the club since Dec. 2022. I joined to watch the Christmas Live Stream and will now be here until I die. It’s so much fun looking at all the great pictures and exclusive videos and of course all the great music. When you get the time watch the Livestreams in the Advent calendars under Fun & Games. It’s just like having Mona and Lisa in your living room playing and singing and showing their personalities. It will probably hook you like it did me. Hope you enjoy the club.

Thanks Jacki, I totally understand that your group was started for fun as a fan club for The Twins. When that popped up on my FB feed I was like, oh Jacki Hopper started a fan club I’m gonna check it out. When I read the description I seen how it’s been a club for a long time and there were around 2,000 members. That’s awesome, good for you. I did see a lot of MLT Club members involved in the Intergalactic group too so I know it’s going to be fun being in that club as well. I’ve never joined a fan club before, wait I did join the KISS Army back in the day but that Club was just a way for Gene Simmons to squeeze more money out of the kids. Lol, I was pretty young (and dumb). I’m still dumb but not so young. I hope Ottawa is nice this time of year and I hope you have a wonderful summer.

All My Lovin’ at 700,000 views, that’s awesome. I like all the videos from their first show.

Lol, you just leave that line blank. Or enter NA, not applicable.

Hi JP, when I first seen that video I did a double take. This was made in 77 and I believe AC/DC started around 73. It was probably just a joke or tribute but who knows. George looks a lot like Angus and they all had a sense of humor.
-
Jung, I too like the Bon Scott era of AC/DC. Hard to believe that Bon died before John Lennon. By the time I really got into AC/DC Bon was already gone. I like Brian Johnson too but it’s almost like two different bands. One thing that really impresses me about The Twins is how much they know about these older bands, and not just their music. When I watch the Friday On My Mind video and see Lisa doing the head bob like Easybeats singer Stevie Wright, I can only smile. This girl has done her homework and is paying tribute to Stevie. I think MLT maybe is somewhere in between The Beach Boys and AC/DC.

Jung, I could definitely picture Mona as a blonde bombshell in one of those classic movies, looking like the bombshell in your picture. Lisa is certainly a beauty too but I could see her in more of a light hearted comedy with her charming sense of humor. I only hope the producers would let them play their own music and not force them to do that
crap they made Elvis do. Lol.

Hi David and Jung. I was wondering the same thing, if Ron Howard was really playing the guitar. I remember an old Andy Griffith Show episode where Opie (young Ron Howard) put together a band with his High School buddies. He played guitar then also. It wouldn’t surprise me if he did play guitar but I’m sure the music for both shows was supplied by someone else. Andy himself was a very good guitar player and may have taught Ron some things. A lot of actors are very versatile and fairly good musicians. They probably have to be in order to have a long career. I can think of a few. Johnny Depp plays guitar occasionally with Alice Cooper’s Hollywood Vampires. Kevin Bacon and his brothers have a working band. Sheb Wooley played a cattle drover on Rawhide. He was also a singer, musician and songwriter and had a monster hit with his song “Purple People Eater”. This could be a discussion on it’s own.
