Hi Bob

Yes it was a beautiful day at the Pike Place market in Seattle.

I’m up in Vancouver now.  Lived in Seattle when I was a kid for a few monthes and visited there growing up a lot so very fond of Seattle.

Would love to have MLT come out to the Pacific Northwest for a concert one day and see our beautful little corner of the world as Mona mentioned.  Wouldn’t that be nice?  🙂

Hello neighbor from just north of you.   Was in your lovely city last month where my avitar picture was taken.  A warm welcome!

I think Lisa is the greatest female rock and roll guitarist in the music world today, and perhaps ever.

Her playing on While My Guitar Gently Weeps, and on Orange in Club 27, and on the latest new songs on the 2 new albums prove it.

[Jung Roe]

Yes music is essential.

I especially love this quote that I always have in my journal.

Without Art (music), the crudeness of reality would make the world unbearable. – George Bernard Shaw

[Jung Roe]

It’s very helpful Rudi.  I like it.

I don’t think John and Paul felt the competition from Brian was overrated.  They noticed Pet Sounds, and decided they needed to up their game and did Sargent Peppers.

I agree with you completely about the Beatles music being immortal.  They indeed tower above the rest.

Enough of that, time for all to go and listen to the new MLT albums again.

Trick or Treat

Orange I handsome?

Hi Howard

If Brian Wilson had kept it together, I wonder where the one upmanship rivalry between Brian and the Beatles would have led.  Maybe the musical plateau would have been even higher than what it is.  I guess we will never know.

[Jung Roe]

Mike.  I would be interested more in knowing Mona and Lisas favourite Beatles album.

Tim.  Your take on Rubber Soul is interesting.  Apparently it is the album that moved Brian Wilson so much it inspired him to answer back with Petsounds.  And rumor has it Sargent Peppers is Beatles response to Pet Sounds.

Jacki

That is brilliant.  Just sounds impeccably delicious!!!

[Jung Roe]

Tim,

Appreciate all your input here, the interesting topics and lively discussion you always initiate.   As Rich says, as long as we are all here “In it for (fun)”, appreciating each others point of views, and furthering our passion for the MonaLisa Twins and their music, it’s all good.

In “The Orange Year – 2017 Recap” video, I can’t help but chuckle (at 2:25) where Mona is seen and heard flexing her vocal chords.  So funny and cute!  Then (at 4:05) there is Lisa hard at it signing all the CDs and she stops to recall the term for the opposite of Ancestors, but settles with referring to all her fans as our “Children”.  I thought that was funny and sweet.

Hi Tim

I like your passion Tim.   In one of their  interviews Lisa made it very clear they dont want to be stuck as a tribute band and is the reason why they left the Cavern residency to write new original music.   In a note from Mona on one of the topics recently she reiterates the same plan for the future, so I dont think we have to worry about that.   I think they also realize many of us discovered them and are here because of their incredible covers.  I trust in their judgement how they should balance between covers and new original music at this particular point in time.

We all want new original music, as does Mona and Lisa, so we’re all on the same wavelength.

[Jung Roe]

Thanks Lisa!  🙂

I’ve really gotten into vinyl again these days since receiving the Orange album in vinyl, and since my only Beatles LP is Sargent Peppers, Rubber Soul will be next, followed by Revolver.  What better way to start my Beatles record collection in vinyl than with the ones that are your favorites.

[Jung Roe]

Hi Mike.  It’s great to see you here, and I’ve always enjoyed reading your comments in Facebook.  It’s so great to be able to see all the other long time MLT fans here from over the years we see all the time…

If you know the answer, don’t keep us in the dark, and if Mona or Lisa can add their thoughts and insight into why it is their favorite Beatles albums even better!

MonaLisa Twins are the true keepers of the faith as musical artists these days when it comes to carrying on the tradition of the greatest pop/rock music there ever was/is that started back in the 60’s, adding their own unique sound and style.   And more than that they are incredibly kind, thoughtful and wonderful people that touch and move people through their music and art.    That is why we love them so much.
