Mona & Lisa
In this video (at 26:40) you say that it’s hard to record a new album – and have a live performing band at the same time (or in the same year). And I understand that you need to manage your time to try and focus on the one main thing you are trying to accomplish. But this makes me appreciate how The Beatles used to record two new albums (plus 3 singles) every year… while doing LOTS of live shows as they toured the world. I remember Paul McCartney looking back at those early days and saying : “We worked all the time back in those early years. Sometimes doing two shows at two different places on the same day. And when we had a day off from playing live shows… we would go and record some new songs for out next single or album.” They really did work their little tails off back then… but they loved it.
As the easy camaraderie became more animated, I started to think I was watching younger twins and older sister. The yin energy level must sometimes be intents. Therefore, it would be good to have Papa Rudi on as well, and tell us how his guy energy (yang) provides at least some degree of balance to it all. Happy Christmas and New Year to all
Ahhhh.. .. Was that ever a treat , that for Michaela to join in and tell us some insights abiut herself, being with Rudi/Mona/Lisa …. she ‘s more like a sister then step-mom ….. I enjoyed listening and learning, and further embracing how Michaela came into their lives when she did with her warmth of encouragement, nurturing, etc, proven to be a Profoundly and Poignantly Positivity Impact on Mona & Lisa during their childhood and continues now, a lovely gift to Bestow Upon, and clearly Eminates Her Essences , Thankyou Michaela, for doing what you’ve done for , continue to do/be Blessed For/At making things and Family/Folks in bringing out Good Vibes that reaches out and matters, makes a Difference … ๐ค๐ป๐๐ค๐โฎ๏ธ๐๐ฆ๐น๐ชป
Received my Christmas card today. Thank you Mona and Lisa!
I believe your Christmas Livestream decision is very generous and very fair. As always, thank you for your kindness.
It’s still less than a year since I joined the Club. I still feel new. I have to admit, with so many of you that have been in the Club for years, I’ve been a little jealous. I missed a lot. And I’m still trying to figure this stuff out.
So this is my first Advent Calendar. I don’t know all the history. But from what you’ve all been saying, it sounds like that was the first time that Michaela joined a livestream, or even any Fridays? Is that right!? I’m glad I was here for that.
Michaela – you laugh like Mona and Lisa do. And you have that same modesty and charm. It was very nice to see you in person. Thank you.
Chris, I’ve only been in the club 1 year exactly today. I think I have watched every video in the club but maybe not. I only remember hearing Michaela talk only once and it was in German. It was a video clip of when they went to see Ringo and an interviewer asked Michaela what she thought about Ringo and she said she thought he would be taller. It must have been in English captions. I mentioned it in the chat last night and she was laughing when she read it. That really made me feel good, I was laughing along with them. I think Mona said that clip was in a Q&A video but I don’t know which one. It was so nice to hear her talk about her background and her skills in design and marketing. There is a little video somewhere of her recording harmonies with Mona and Lisa. I think it is what Jacki was asking about and the song was Sweet Lorraine.
I have been making steady progress through the archives, but have deliberately not tried to hurry it too much.
But experiences like remembering a video and not being able to find it again make me wonder how many I still haven’t found. I don’t remember seeing that Ringo one, for example. It’s all good though – they’re like presents under the tree when I find another new one.
When Mona and Lisa were born in the ’90s, they had all of the ’60s music to learn about. It took us 10 years to live through it, but they probably caught up to it a lot faster.
Now the situation is reversed. They have 16+ years of making music that they lived through, and you and I are catching it up in a shorter time.
Well, you are, anyways. With me it remains to be seen. lol.
I’m sure I will find a video I haven’t seen yet. There is so much content in the archives, I don’t always remember everything I’ve seen either. I didn’t remember there being a video of I Should Have Known Better but I looked it up and I had seen it, even commented on it months ago. For some reason I remember the Ringo clip but don’t know where it’s located, maybe someone will remember. I looked a little but didn’t find it. If I ever do find it I will share the link. I don’t mind researching MLT content at all.
I try the Search function to find things. But if you search for Beatles, for example,you’ll find a lot of stuff. There’s an art to using search, and tags. I haven’t been tagging things, which would (theoretically) help in finding them again. I’ve tried using them in Search but so far, but I don’t think many other people are using tags either. Maybe I should just start doing it.
I’ve never tag things, I tried the search for Ringo but yeah there’s quite a few results that got me nowhere.
I just rewatched the Livestream from Friday. It is so enjoyable beyond words. I think I smiled the whole way through it and Iโm still smiling. For some reason today when it ended I had tears in my eyes. Itโs very touching.
Thanks for sharing your music and your lives with us fans. I feel privileged.
Best Wishes Always,
Bobby S. ๐๐ต๐ต๐
Sorry that I couldn’t be there live last night, but it was so nice to see Michaela along with you both while watching the stream today. I’m glad you enjoyed the goodies that I sent, and yes Michaela, you pronounced my last name perfectly! That doesn’t happen very often here in the states. ๐ Wishing you all a wonderful holiday!
Nice surprise to see Michaela with you Mona & Lisa, I like it very much.
I have received your Cristmas Card today, beautiful card with your beautiful smiles, and I like what it is written on the back, thank you so much. I like the Livestream.
Amazing stream as always with lovely special guest Michaela. It was such fun to see you all together and the expression on Mona’s face is priceless when she learns something new about earlier times. Luckily we kept up the pressure on M + L to invite her and it paid off!
I watched the livestream from my caravan in Barmouth, but I couldnโt work out how to join the chat!! But I really enjoyed it, and as the others have said it was great to see and hear from Michaela. Thanks to you all.
David, I’ve had that problem, it says Hide Chat, but there’s nothing showing above it. But if I refresh the page, that usually fixes it – the chat appears.
Thanks Chris. Itโs okay on my computer at home, but canโt seem to access chat on my phone despite being on my YouTube account !!!
I just tried using my Android phone to see yesterday’s livestream. At first I didn’t see the Chat either, but I think I’ve got it sussed out now.
First I went to Settings, Display, Advanced, and made sure Auto-Rotate screen was turned on.
Then I went to monalisa-twins.com, and tapped on the hamburger icon in the upper right – that’s the 3 horizontal lines on top of each other. Then I tapped on Clubhouse.
Then I scrolled way down to the the picture that had Livestream 15 on it, and tapped it, then scrolled down to the Watch on YouTube button, and tapped on that.
Then I turned the phone sideways so it would rotate from portrait to landscape view – so the screen was wider instead of taller.
When the video appeared, I tapped on it in the lower corner left of the screen, and a few YouTube buttons appeared. The third one from the left is the one you want to tap. It will show you the Chat.
If this seems like a lot of bother to see the Chat, that’s why I use my laptop. I used to have to test websites on phones and tablets for my job, and that cured me of ever thinking they were a good laptop substitute. They’re too small for humans.
If you try all of this and it’s still not working, tell me what’s going on. Like do you have an Apple phone, for example. And I’ll try again. Cheers.
Wow, many thanks for taking the time to work this out, itโs much appreciated. I have an IPhone 13 which currently doesnโt do the auto rotate, so Iโll apply the same principles and see if it works. Although, Iโll be back home for the remaining livestreams so Iโll be using my computer. Thanks again Chris, youโve been most helpful.
It was so nice to see your wonderful Stepmom Michaela with you two young ladies tonight! I’ve been wanting to hear both of your parent’s take on what it was like to raise you two wild and crazy girls! (Actually, I’ll bet it was a delight!)
One of most favorite things in life was raising our daughter Gemma! She turned out wonderful, just as both of you have! She’s just two months older than you, has a college degree and is an assistant manager now! We’re proud of her! Gemma wants to go back to a university to get another degree. She loves Music too! And you two have earned your own self-made degrees!
It was also inciteful to hear about Michaela’s background. We’d all like to see her AGAIN in another livestream! Now I’m wondering how you’re going to get Papa Rudi on camera too, since he’s doing all the behind-the-scenes work! I hope you can work that out! Maybe Mona & Lisa could do the filming & troubleshooting while your parents are on camera, and then switch!?
I was anxious today to get home from work & watch your live stream! I had a long day, teaching 7 classes, & having a Music meeting afterwards, plus doing household & kitty cat duties when I got home. NOW, I’m looking forward to attending your Sunday livestream!
I hope you enjoy your song practices, & that Mona’s voice is getting back on track!
CHEERS to all four of you! — Bud
Hi Bud
Yeah it was really great to hear a little more about Michaela’s background and also to hear a little of her perspective as a parent raising Mona and Lisa when they were little and what they were like. Some golden nuggets, priceless. Will be wonderful to see Papa Rudi too. Maybe Mona and Lisa could bake him some delicious cookies or sticky toffee pudding to coax him to do it. ๐
I was ready to walk through the TV and give Michaela a hug! It was such a pleasure to hang out with the girls today.
I’m sorry I had to check out about 10 minutes early. I had a date with my wife & a Mexican restaurant. Getting to see and listen to Michaela was an exceptional surprise. She is a special person.
Thanks for everything you do.
BTW the Mexican food tonight was delicious.
I wasn’t able to make the live stream (Friday afternoon date with my wife) but just finished watching it. I covertly tried to watch some of it in the mens room at the resturant we ate at and saw Michaela was there and couldn’t wait to get home and watch. I’m still smiling and just feeling great that the 4 of you are able to do what you do and also share some of it with us!!! Love to see the 4 of you in a live stream some day.
I’m sure glad I didn’t miss this one – it was a great session. Your surprise for the end was indeed a surprise, and I think that Michaela stole the show. It was just plain fun.
Michaela thanked us again for the support, as Mona and Lisa have over and over, and it sounded like it was truly from the heart. I look at the MLT Club as one of the few ways left today to support the arts where you can be sure the artist actually gets the benefit. I love what you are doing and of course, love the music.
Wow that was really special to meet Michaela live at the livestream today. You’re just as wonderful as I always envisioned. ๐ Hope we can have the pleasure of meeting Papa Rudi like that too. Thank you Mona and Lisa for a beautiful get together again today!
I just finished watching the live stream! It was so nice to see and get to know Michaela a little bitโฆ. it is very obvious she has been an influence on you two ladies! And of course, that does go both ways! Thank you Michaelaโฆ What a treat! ๐ค
Only just managed to catch up with the livestream and boy what a surprise to see the beautiful Michaela๐งโโ๏ธ So sad I couldnโt be around at the time. Surely now it must be time for Papa Rudy to grace us with his presence.
I was working when the live stream was onโฆ. Iโm just now watching it. Mona, I heard you mention warm Hawaiiโฆ.I am building a small cabin in Hawaiiโฆ. 13 acres of tropical forest, a mile from the beach. There are also three horses that live on the propertyโฆ. And for some reason they love my cabin. They seem to always be around it! Not that Iโm trying to bribe youโฆ I keep a street legal Husqvarna dirtbike there also. Probably none of that would interest youโฆ.. whatever?๐๐๐ค๐ค
That sounds like a pretty good bribe Tim, you seemed to have raised the bribe bar a bit with that one.
Great decision about the livestreams!
Michaela was such a delight to have on stream, thanks so much for talking (blackmailing?) Her into it.
This was probably the most I’ve smiled in a long time.
Thanks my friends, hugs to all of you.
That is really sweet, thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
Sorry. Didn’t make it tonight, After jury service this week I went to local social tap bar and had a good drink and wood-smoked pizza. My phone had bust so I actually got to talk to loads of people (including some in a local band – who knew!) and really get to know the people that I am living with in my relativey small village.
So I got to know new people, but like I also got to know new people via MLT Club. We are all part of some space continuum. This is what (although I was too young to know it at the time) the 1960s was all about. We are all part of the same family, making connections, getting to know each other and live in peace and harmony.
Love you all. Peace and love. Stay groovy
No worries! So glad you got to connect with fellow locals โฅ
….but I did watch this evening (Saturday) so I’m all caught up again now. So nice to see Michaela and after a little initial nervousness she was just chatting away like a natural YouTuber!
OMG OMG OMG
Thank You So Very Much to Michaela for joining in on today’s Livestream. I am so grateful. I got to see three beautiful smiles today. And I am still smiling and grinning. I was glued to my computer screen watching & listening.
You not only made my day – you made my Year. I will never forget this day.
I Love You All,
Bobby S.
P.S. Thanks also for reading and hanging up the card I sent to Michaela & Rudi.
You hung it up right next to the card that I sent to Mona & Lisa.
What a coincidence? lol.
Bobby S.
I made it home for the end. That was fun listening on the way home. I did speed up just a little when I heard you announcing a special guest.
It was great seeing the three of you together. We are betting that there is a cup in your collection that says,โBest Stepmomโ.
When I said come to New York I did not mean the city. We are country folks, too. We have plenty of great ski areas here. I would love to take you skiing. Consider this an open invitation.
That yoga chime is too kool. Marlo gets credit for that one.
Merry Christmas and Stay Groovy!
Love,
Marlo & JP
I totally agree this was a very soecial livestream, what a surprise. This family is so fantastic, they are all artist, no doubt about that, but they are all so friendly and peacefull and groovy at the same time. If all people were like them, this world would be so joyfull, thank You Wagner family.
The Wagner’s are our FAB4!!!!
They sure are to me Jung, and i think for many club members
What a wonderful livestream! Just when you thought it couldnโt get any better Michaela comes and steals the show. It was so great being able to see her. What a lovely family! Next time maybe Rudi!?
THANKS, today was especially fun for us too ๐ We’ll work on getting Papa Rudi to join us next!
I heartily agree with all the thanks and what a pleasure to meet such a wonderful lady! There really aren’t enough words to convey what these streams and discussions mean to myself, and of course the whole membership. The boundless love you all share is such a refreshing thing to see and be a small part of in this crazy mixed up world these days. I don’t mind saying I have shed many tears of joy this year’s Advent season. God knows I needed some happiness. Love you all (members included of course) more than you know!
That was the best one so far with Michaela, my cheeks are hurting from smiling so much.
MLT wsg Michaela was wonderful. Thanks so much.
It was GREAT to see Michaela today on the stream!
It was nice of Michaela to come on stream!

Here is another black and white version but without the distracting background screams.

Hey Jung!
What a Classic song that is! I remember it from the ’60’s, hearing it for the 1st time at a friend’s house. The melody has a Classical Music feel too it, from a different century! And it’s very, very English! It’s just such a shame, what happened to Brian Jones!
I saw the Stones just one time live, sometime in the early ’90’s in Seattle at the Kingdom, where Paul & Wings had performed in 1975 & again in 1990. It’s so amazing that they’re still performing, about 60 years after their start in the ’60’s, along with Paul & Ringo! We are indeed lucky to be living thru it all!
Thanks for the memory! — yer neighbor, Bud.
OOPS! I meant to say the Kingdome! It’s no longer there, having been replaced with another stadium called Lumen Field, in the year 2000.
Hey Bud!
Hope you are feeling better.
Thanks to Bill for suggesting that song in the livestream today.
It’s quite beautiful with a classical music feel indeed. The guitar/sitar strumming is really nice. The Rolling Stones wrote some great ballads like Wild Horses, Angie etc..That must have been incredible to see them in the great Kingdome. I remember when they built that stadium touting capacity of 60 to 70 thousand, it was one of the first indoor super stadiums I think. And then just like that one day I heard they tore it down.
All the best.
Jung
Thank you for the card.
I got my Christmas card today as well. It’s lovely.
