The Duo Sessions II – New Album & Merch Announcement – Pre-Order

“The Duo Sessions II” Album Release Date: November 5

This is the track list:

  1. Everybody’s Talkin’ (Fred Neil/Harry Nilsson)
  2. Stuck In The Middle With You (Stealers Wheel)

  13. Teach Your Children (Crosby, Stills & Nash) – ft. Papa Rudi
  14. Junk (Paul McCartney)

The pre-sale for the general public will start on October 22nd, but MLT Club Members can already place their orders and of course all your CDs and merch will get signed by us first! MLT Clubbers’ orders will also get dispatched first. As always, we will aim to dispatch all pre-orders ahead of the official release date!

And we have new merch! A wall calendar for 2024 with 12 so-far unseen photos and a notebook for all your creative/practical/doodling/journaling needs! 🙂

We’ll show off the new merch in detail during the Livestream and tell you a bit about the album creation process too!

Bundles (-10%)

We are so excited to see many of you this coming Sunday. Only 2 more sleeps! As a reminder, this is the link to the Livestream page with all the info:

We’ll send you a final reminder email on Sunday! See you then! 

Stay groovy,
Mona & Lisa

  1. It says, in the shop, order complete. No delivery, yet. No download, too. No download links. My downloads page only shows Why? The links inside the MLT pages are very confusing. Even if I am signed in, I get signup and signin pages popping up all the time. Difficult to find stuff. This nested membership of general account and club membership is confusing. What’s going on..? I’m off-groove right now 🙁

    1. Nima,

      Click on HOME in the heading near the top of the page.

      Click on your name or picture in the upper right corner of the page.

      In the list that appears, click on Shop, and you’ll see a list of every order you’ve ever placed.

      Click on the View button for the row for the date you ordered it, to see the details.

      You might not have to click on HOME first, but sometimes the Shop link doesn’t seem to show up for me, so I wanted to give you a procedure that would always work, regardless of where you begin from.

      Enjoy.

      1. Chris,

        I used your advice on this suggestion of yours. I’ve been meaning to buy all the MLT recordings, but I’ve put it off, having so many expenses this year. However today, I went ahead & bought the bundle of all the MTL’s CDs, the new Duo Sessions II, the 2024 calendar, notebook & keychain. Now I’m looking forward to having all that good stuff soon!

        Thanks, & have a good one! — Bud

      2. If you go to another site and click on your picture, you may see something similar, and maybe very similar, since the program the Club uses is used by a lot of other websites as well.

  2. You always choose the best covers! Looking forward to seeing the new calendar and of course it will replace the present one in my home office when it’s time. I’ll be listening to the new duo album and I will wear my anniversary pin for the first spin through. My radio audience is in for a treat, too!

  3. Konnte am Sonntag nicht live gucken habe mir aber schon 2 mal die Aufzeichnung eurer Session reingezogen. Ihr könnt stolz auf eure Performance sein. Hab mir schon das Bündle “Vorbestellung” Musik bestellt CDll hat eine super Zusammenstellung. Bis bald fühlt euch gedrückt von mir.

    1. Hi David,

      I just randomly clicked on some names to see where people are from and I see that you’re from Ontario, & play trumpet, flugelhorn, guitar and like Big Bands & screechy trumpet music! You must have heard of Maynard Ferguson who was born in Verdun, near Montreal? I met him many times because I’ve seen him “live” close to 60 times!
      I even arranged to have his band play for a fundraiser for my school music program in Seattle in 1998!

      He was one of, if not the greatest of all Jazz and high-note trumpeters and multi-instrumental band leaders. In case you haven’t seen these, here are two videos that show off SOME of his skills! I play trumpet & flugel still in a big band & retired from teaching a few years ago.

      By the way, my great grandfather, (4 times back) founded Hull, Quebec. His name was Philemon Wright. And my mother’s dad had been a Canadian Mountie at the turn of the 19th to 20th Centuries. OK, enough of that! Here’s the videos:

      1.) From 1950 Maynard Ferguson Trumpet high notes legend – YouTube

      2.) From about 1977 or ’78. Maynard Ferguson – Pagliacci – RARE – YouTube

      Of course, I’m a big fan of the Beatles & Mona & Lisa too, besides lots of other styles in Music. Cheers! — Bud Jackson

  4. I have just ordered the Duo Dessions 11- Music & Merch Bundle “Pre-Order”, I am so happy by the choices of the songs. like “Everybody s Talking” “Stuck in the middle with you” “Vincent” “Alone” “Junk” “I should have known better” “Sugar man “, etc. Also the beautiful calender of 2024. And I love the Album Artwork. Very nice. So thank you very much for all that you do. Merci.

  5. So happy about the new album release!
    Can’t wait to get the new calendar – but since I don’t want to wish any of the year away, I would gladly buy any photo book of Mona and Lisa anytime!

  6. Howdy,
    I just pre-ordered the new CD. It even has a new song. What a treat. I can’t wait to hear it on Sunday.
    And like Spanky & Our Gang sang – “Sunday Will Never Be The Same”.
    See you soon,
    Bobby S.

  7. Placed my order and will be waiting by the door until it arrives! Love the Dou Sessions. Looking forward to the Live Stream tomorrow.

    1. It was a nice surprise to find out that Mona was the artist that created the album cover artwork. I guess I was wrong, It wasn’t the first time and won’t be the last.

  8. Groovy Girls,

    I’m looking forward to Duo Sessions III 🙂

    as by then you will have recorded 14 further song 🙂

    Is there any official way we can make requests, for you to consider?

    You give a fresh sound to all our old favourites, but here are a few you might give a sparkle to:

    Hazy Shade of Winter – by Simon and Garfunkel
    Urge for Going – by Joni Mitchell
    White Horses – sung by Jackie Lee (my daughter Sofia loves this one)

    I could go on …… 🙂

    Hey, if you ever made a film it would have to be called ‘The Groovy Movie’ 😀

  9. I don’t actually remember what it feels like to sit on Santa’s lap and tell him what I want for Christmas. I’m sure I did it though, a long time ago, and it kind of feels like I just did it again. Yes, please. See you Sunday!

  10. I wasn’t sure there’d be anything new this close to the Livestream and then Bam! It’s the long awaited second Duo Sessions CD! So I ordered the combo with the notebook and calendar because I noticed my 2023 calendar is running low on months. I really like the artwork on the Duo Sessions covers, so I’ll be making my own lyric scribbles as I listen to the tunes with my most groovy notebook, maybe sitting on the sofa with a pencil in my hand, writing down the things I’d like to say…. Hey, that reminds me of a song!

  11. Thank you Mona and Lisa for creating another album to add to my growing MLT collection. I’ll probably order the calendar nearer to next year – it’ll make a nice Christmas present!

  12. These are very exciting times at the MonaLisa Twins Club, it feels like Christmas already. A new CD, new merch, a new song, a new track with your dad, that’s the bomb. I think your song selection was a perfect choice.

    “The one they pick’s the one you’ll know by”

    Make Show!

  13. No doubt this will be my new favorite CD! Especially with “Count on Me”, “Vincent”, “Alone”,…oh, heck… they’re all favorites! Can’t wait to hear “I Don’t Mind” and “Teach Your Children”! Thanks Team MLT! A truly serendipitous start to my weekend!

  14. Oh Happy Day! Just ordered the “Music & Merch” bundle. Now I can listen to all the Duo Sessions while I am out-and-about. Most Groovy! Only 48hrs to go to live-stream. Can’t wait to see you!

    Love the cover artwork Lisa! Part of it looks like what I see when I go to my cardiologist.

  15. Hiya…. WooHoo, Yippee Awesome Announcement for today …. I decided & Treated Myself to both an early Xmas/Bday present ( Dec/Jan) and got/ordered the Pre-order Bundle of the CD/2024 Wall Calendar /Notebook …. And I’ve been hoping at something a Notebook would become a merch item…maybe I suggested it one time…lol…just glad it’s now available for to further inspire my #mltbuzzluvgroovified creativity Juices…. maybe a totebag/knapsack could be a future merch idea… then it could be seen by all as I carry a tote/knapsack on a daily basis and would certainly be seen by the public at large …. Am looking forward to tuning in for livestream on this coming Sunday at 5 PM my time …. This Made My Day brighter , Thankyou 😊🤘🏻💜💯

  16. WOO HOO!!! Been waiting for Duo Session II to “Come Together!” Love the track list.Can’t wait to pop in the CD player for the next Road Trip.

    Sending Love & Hugs to All
    💛 ❤
     Tom

  17. I ordered the notebook, cd, calendar, and scribble note.
    I am really looking forward to the livestream. My wife and I are spending the weekend in the beautiful Allegheny Forest in northern Pennsylvania, but I will be home in time on Sunday to watch.
    Mona and Lisa, you need to visit here, you would love it. All the leaves are changing color now .

    1. That’s great – thank you!! I just googled the Allegheny Forest, it must be breathtaking there at this time of the year. See you Sunday!

  18. This is so great and ideally timed to make a package with the calendar!! Thanks for thinking about us with your bundles! Can’t wait to see you on Sunday!

  19. Just ordered my copy. The Duo Sessions are the best! Can’t wait to plug in my headphones and spend some quality music time!

  20. Wow this is great! Order placed. This weekend will be as the Bangles sang “Sunday, that’s my funday”! Looking forward to it!
    Thank you for everything! You definitely are the sunshine that brightens the day! 🙂

  21. Just ordered the bundle. I use your calendars at my Static Caravan in Wales to log how many days I actually use my caravan, which is probably about 35% of the year at the moment, where I listen to your fantastic music and attempt to play your songs on my acoustic guitar which I leave there. So, I cant wait to play your new duo sessions CD out loud so all the caravan site can hear how good you are ha ha.

  22. The Duo Sessions are the best! Looking forward to hearing Teach Your Children with Papa Rudi. Just ordered the Writer’s Bundle!

    Looking forward to Sunday’s Livestream. Thank you Mona, Lisa, Michaela, and Papa Rudi!

  23. Just ordered, thank you, I’m glad you have Alone on the cd, I was a little worried you would have a mutiny in the Club if it wasn’t included, Lol. Can’t wait to hear Teach Your Children also. Plus a brand new original, our cup runneth over. Thank you so much.

  24. Thank you Wagner family for yet another good news day, its for people like you there is a ray of sinshine in these dark days. The way you make us feel groovy is so great!!!
    Off course i ordered immediately, even before i gave this comment, as Peter Mathiesen allready said: Thank You, Thank You.We” ll be seeing You next sunday, cant wait.

  25. My basket runneth over already! Well, OK it’s not “running” over but I’ve stacked some goodies in it. Super chuffed for Sunday’s Live Stream. I have an early appointment to go see a friend’s new custom build aircraft but I’ll make sure I’m home in plenty of time to catch the show!
