Mona & Lisa
Who was born first? My guess is Lisa?
You guys obviously have each others back but what is the nicest thing that “for Mona” that Lisa has done for you and “for Lisa” what is nicest thing that Mona has done for you
Like the guys said, we appreciate you taking the time to answer our questions. I love the questions about your gear, or performing. Lisa’s explanation of stage monitors and hearing protection is very insightful. Mona’s response to Rick’s question regarding her influences was kool. I had not heard of Viola Smith, so I checked her out on utube. Wow! What a full life she lived, and quite a long one, too. Her kits are amazing. She could make a small kit sound huge. I couldn’t help compare her playing on stage in “Cabaret” every night to your stay at The Cavern Club. Her interviews are so precious. She knew she was considered one of the greatest drummers in the world, but she was so humble when speaking of her idols, kinda star struck. Thanks for that recommendation.

Hi Mona Hi Lisa… This question summary session for MLT is wonderful and very helpful.. every answer from you, we know you more and admire you.. Wow you are so dedicated..thank you dear girls..you are fantastic .. I am proud to be a fan of you and be part of this wonderful MLT Club.
To add further to what Jefferey said, I think ever since you started summarizing all the Ask the MLT questions like this each month in one place, it really brings to light the sheer volume of questions you answer, and each so thoughtfully. Being able to interact with you both by asking questions is one of the most fulfilling parts of the MLT Club, but when I see the sheer size and volume sometimes, I hope these are not too overwhelming for you both. I recall way back in the beginning of the Club, everyone at the forum agreed, while we love the Ask the MLT questions, your music creation and projects are always the most important and should take top priority, and we understand sometime when it might take longer to answer questions. I always still feel that way, and I presume others here do too. So please don’t kill yourself at the end of each month. You both always give us so much through all you do here, appreciate all the work you put into this wonderful Club. Just wanted to share some perspective. 🙂
Wow, we really didn’t cut you any slack in your birthday/marathon month did we? Maybe I/we should have asked a few less, but it looks like a great bunch of questions, and I’m sure answers, too as soon as I read them! I already spied a few I intended to ask at some point, and a few gems I hadn’t thought of, too. You’re the best, and you spoil us every chance you get! I still can’t believe you double posted today to make up for not answering questions last Tuesday! I loved seeing your trail run pics and knowing you completed 29 miles, no less! Bless you always, Ladies and fam!
