MLT Tote Bag – Early Access

We made a very limited run of MLT bags this year! They will go live on the official webstore on Wednesday but we wanted to give you members the opportunity to order first, in case you fancy getting one! Since we have never made these before we don’t know how quickly they will sell, so we want you to have first dibs!

They’ll be going up for the Black Friday sale, so we think it’s only fair to give you the Black Friday coupon code already, as you’d be ordering early. So use “BLACK2023” at Checkout for 25% off your whole order. The coupon works on all other merchandise and CDs too!

We think the bag turned out super cool …

  1. Wishing you a full and speedy recovery, Mona, and also hope the dreaded bugs manage not to infect the rest of the family.

    Remember, there is always laughter after pain, sunshine after rain!

    And better to be ill now than over Christmas.

    Decided to get the calendar and some other things as it won’t be long before Santa comes.

  2. M & L ,

    This morning I ordered your Tote Bag, 5-Year Pin & “Why” Artwork. Now I’m interested in seeing how long it will take to get from the west coast of England to the west coast of the US! Keep getting better Mona! And I hope that Lisa is immune to your “dreaded lurgy!”

  3. Glad you’re feeling better Mona! All that positive energy must be the elixir you needed. I always wondered how working musicians managed through things that us mere mortals suffer with…I reckon chicken soup, a good cup of tea, a warm fuzzy blanket and a nice fire in the hearth helps everyone!
    Guess I better go jump on that tote bag before they’re all snapped up haha.

  4. So sorry to hear Mona was feeling under the weather.
    Glad to hear you’re feeling a bit better.
    Wow the tote bag looks really cool.
    If I don’t buy one I’d be a fool.
    Look forward to seeing your smiling faces next Friday.
    Take good care,
    Bobby S. 😎🎵🎵🧛‍♂️

  5. Get well very soon Mona, now I think you are getting better and better, it is only a matter of time, soon you will be fine. Repose toi bien.

  6. Hi Mona, you have got to get better so take your medicine, rest and have a bowl of chicken soup just like Jackie said! My daughter is in the hospital right now with Pneumonia, but she is getting better day by day!!! Day by Day, maybe a song? Or is it already a song? Anyway, with my family, everyone gets it, so Lisa I hope you wont get it.
    I will order the Tote bag sending out Big Vibes for Health just for you!!!! Can you tell we all think of you as family!!!! Groovin’ on a Sunday Afternoon. Love from the Music Family and Stay Groovy!!!!

    1. Jacki,

      You are always so positive and funny! How could Mona NOT get well with all the Good Groovy Vibe Attitude that you send her way! — Bud

  8. Hope you are feeling groovy and well soon Mona. Fingers crossed the rest of the family doesn’t catch it. Wishing you the best as always. 🙂

  9. Sorry to hear Mona is ill. Hope she gets better soon and that Lisa is looking after her with snacks and hot drinks. It’s funny as my first thought was how can Mona be ill and Lisa isn’t! Too used to twins being the same all the time!

    1. Thanks, Allan! So far Lisa managed to dodge whatever it is I’m spreading so fingers crossed it will stay that way. Thankfully, I’m starting to feel much better.

      1. That sounds good. There’s plenty of time for more rest before your work life calls. I’m looking forward to seeing two smiling twins on a video soon.

  10. Mona & Lisa,

    I looked for your new video this morning before leaving for work. I was disappointed to not see anything! After I got home, I saw that fans were talking about Mona being sick! I looked all over your site & couldn’t find anything until I saw the MLT Club Wire in my email box. Thank you for that!

    I’m very sorry to hear about Mona’s “lurgy!” I looked up this strange word, & it’s defined as “a mild illness or disease.” I’m hoping it’s nothing serious! And I’m glad you’re taking it easy Mona. Maybe with all the work you two Wonder Girls have been doing lately you’re probably “burning the candle at both ends.”

    As much as we all love your tremendous output of Music production, please don’t sacrifice your health! You two ladies are a Beacon of Hope in our dreary World, so please, please take care of yourselves! Promise?

    Thanks for listening! — Bud

    1. Lurgy….basically UK’s term for flu/flu like/bronchitis/some kinda cold I think when I Googled up the meaning… I’ve heard it, just couldn’t recall the meaning in North American terms …..

      1. Hi Jacki,

        Yeah Jacki, you’re right! Also, I looked up lurgy again, & it’s supposed to rhyme with “Fergie,” but I thought it might rhyme with “clergy,” but no. Also, it’s a corruption & contraction of the word “allergy.” And it first came to prominence in the UK’s 1950’s “Goon Show” comedy that the Beatles loved so much when they were kids. They called it the “dreaded lurgy” on the show!

        I understand a lot of British slang. We watch British TV shows often, and I’ve been to the UK 3 times now. AND my mom’s dad was from Ontario & became a Canadian Mountie in his early 20’s!

        — Bud

  11. I’m so sorry to hear Mona is sick. There is a lot of crud going around my area too. I was sick all last week, still have a sore throat and runny nose. About all you can do is rest. Sending Mona prayers and yes, the chicken soup does do wonders.

  12. If humour is any sort of antidote, then the Wagner family might want to gather around the computer (radio) and listen to a 1954 episode of the highly esteemed Goon Show, Lurgi Strikes Britain. Imagine you’re in a time capsule and listening alongside the Fab Four, grooving to the antics of Peter Sellers, Spike Milligan, and Harry Secombe. Recovery is sure to follow.

  13. The bag looks really groovy. We will definitely be ordering.

    Please sing this song to Mona. It has healing qualities.

    Feel better, Mona.

    Love,

    Marlo & JP

      “Soft kitty, warm kitty
      Little ball of fur
      Happy kitty, sleepy kitty
      Purr, purr, purr
      Soft bunny, warm bunny
      Floppy ears up top
      Happy bunny, sleepy bunny
      Hop, hop, hop
      Hard turtle, wet turtle
      Where did your head go?
      Happy turtle, sleepy turtle
      Slow, slow, slow…”

    p.s. spicy chili can help clear a stuffed nose

    1. Johnnypee,

      I love that show “The Big Band Theory!” The Sheldon character drives me crazy, but all the actors in that show are hilarious! I even wrote out “Soft Kitty,” & teach it to my younger students in the schools where I substitute teach. After we’ve sung it a few times, I ask for volunteers to come up front & sing it for the class. They enjoy doing that, & I can help them improve their vocal techniques with that, & many other songs.

      But NO Vic’s VapoRub! — Bud

      1. As a physics guy I love that show too. Bud, I think your chosen profession caused you to make a slight error on the title!

      2. To Johnnypee & Jacki,

        No matter HOW many times I see different episodes from the BBT, I STILL laugh out loud! It always makes me feel better & revitalized! Young Sheldon is good too!

        Also, I’ve always loved “Modern Family!” I always thought that the 1960’s & ’70’s US comedy shows were the best, but these two newer shows are so good!

        For UK shows I love “Doc Martin,” “Death in Paradise” & a bunch of others. They are also classics. The writing AND acting are so wonderful in all these TV shows, and I don’t have much time for TV, & I never seem to go to movies anymore. There are just too many other things to do — like practicing instruments, & exercise! — Bud

    2. Lol…Luv Big Bang Theory show… that song is now a cult classic ….lol Luv Sheldon and gang ….. Luv the Spinoff Young Sheldon as well…. fun fact : both Laurie Metcalfe and her daughter -Zoe Perry played Sheldon’s mom – Laurie on BBT while Zoe on YS …and Lance Varber played a former bully from high dchool of Leonard’s on BBT , then got role of Young Sheldon’s Dad ….

      1. Hi Jacki,

        I thought I recognized Lance, and later confirmed it when I saw a repeat of the Bully episode. Did Young Sheldon end? I always assumed they could only go so far with that. That was great casting for his Mom’s younger character.

        Bazinga!

        JP

      2. Heyya JP….to my knowledge, Season 7 will be last one for ” Young Sheldon ” …. I hate Vicks Vapour Rub too ….lol …. also… just remembered the episode on BBT where see Young Sheldon on a VHS Tape ( what prompted the spinoff , I’m guessing ), and also cool how Sara Gilbert appears on BBT and her and Johnny Gilecki are reunited again, sort of…. just like when they were on Roseanne show ….lol…. I also loved Johnny in the National Lampoon Xmas movie as ” Russ Griswold ” … Yes, agreed Sheldon can be annoying at first but then he kinda grows on ya, like all characters…. it takes a gifted actor/actress to convincingly play the part ….. 🤘🏻😎

      1. Hi Mona,

        We’re ALL so glad you’re getting better!! I hadn’t seen your comments for quite a while, so thanks for taking your sick time to comment. Don’t overdo it! We need you for the December Advent calendar! (Dang it, us fans are so NEEDY, aren’t we!)

        ALSO, THANKS to you and LISA for signing ALL 12 of your CDs that I just received, along w/signing the new Calendar & Notebook! That means SO MUCH to all of us fans! I don’t know how you guys, (er — girls) do all that you do! You are so much loved and appreciated!!

        (I wish I could sing “Soft Kitty” to you personally! (That could be really weird!!!
        But FUN, & worth a laugh! — ha! ha!)

        — Bud

      2. WooHoo..am happy to hear….keep on doing whatever remedy that it is, as it’s doing the trick, hoping it goes away and doesn’t spread ….. 🤘🏻😊

  14. I just want to wish Mona a speedy recovery. Or is this the sort of illness that takes a week to recover with medication, and 7 days without?

  15. Lisa, please contact Janitor Joe and instruct him to broadcast a message right away to all forces of good throughout the cosmos to beam good vibrations to Mona. Hopefully this will help her heal very quickly and feel better fast. I am dialing mine up to full strength right now!

  16. Sorry to hear you’re not feeling well, Mona. Healing prayers and the warmest well-wishes already on their way! Blessings to all four of you!

  17. I hope you feel better soon Mona. I’ve sent a small prayer your way.

    I actually do use bags like that, for when I go to the Farmer’s Market, or just to avoid single use bags at the grocery. So now I’ll be able to shop in style, and spread the word.

    I’ve been waiting for my first Advent Calendar since I joined in February. First one with you, that is. So cool. I promised myself I’d go research earlier years’ Calendars, but now I think I’d better get serious about it. Thanks!

  18. So sorry to hear Mona is not feeling well. Sending warm wishes and love for a speedy recovery. Feel better. 💛

    An MLT Tote Bag! What a wonderful idea, it’s going to be awesome, can’t wait to receive mine. I think it will be perfect when I go on vacation to carry all my MLT CDs, notebooks, hoodie and beach towel in. 😊💛❤

  19. I’m sorry to hear that Mona is unwell. Meriel and I are sending her lots of healing love. I hope that you stay healthy, Lisa! The bag looks fabulous! I’m heading over to the shop now…

    1. Thank you, Jeannette and Meriel! I’m starting to feel better 🙂
      We will add your signed vinyl test pressing to the new order and ship it all together, we hope that’s okay!

  20. Lol….I believe I may have influenced this merch idea as I do recall making a suggestion for it or for a knapsack …. but happy it has come to fruition and have ordered one as I’m known in my family and by all who know me…. quite literally as the ” Bag Lady ” ….lol…because I’m forever having my knapsack and bags of stuff when I’m out n about as I don’t drive but rely on public transit such as buses, people driving me, LRT ( light rail system ), etc so you can bet I’m gonna be using it , and folks will see the tote bag ….

    Sorry to hear Mona is under the weather…sending Positivity #MLTBuzzLuvGroovified Healing Hugs n Vibes .to her , Thankyou Lisa, for today’s Friday Awesome Merch Surprise Offering ….💜🤘🏻😊

  21. What did you do to Mona? You just want more time to plan a prank on her. 😆 🤣 😂 please tell Mona I hope she gets better soon.
    I would love to have a tote bag, but unfortunately I just don’t have the funds. Hopefully there will be some available then.
    Have a good week and Stay well.

  22. They look great, It looks a lot like a purse but I will order one anyway, Lol. It may be a gift for someone I have turned into an MLT fan. I would really love an MLT coffee mug (any style). I collect coffee mugs and know you sold them before I joined the club. I have even looked on ebay but no success. Maybe you will offer some in the future, thank you, on to the shop.

  23. Know it’s going to be great quality. Ordered even before you posted this as saw it when going to leave review of the Duo Sessions II items. 🙂
