Aging folkie, recent MLT fan
Howdy everyone – On Feb 21 2020 (a blessed day) a Facebook friend posted a video from our beloved duo (Till There Was You). This was my first exposure to the twins (I live in a cave, apparently), and the rest is history. They are a balm for the soul. I’m a fan for life.
My name is Robert; I’m an American (right up front, I apologize for our current government – although I voted for Hillary); I live in Boston; my wife is a Palestinian living in Syria with our infant son; I’ve an 18-year-old and a 20-year-old from my first marriage (beautiful kids); I’m a software engineer (so, thankfully, I still have a job); my hobbies include board & card games (I’m an evangelist, really) and singing fairly well while playing the guitar rather badly.
One thing I’ll share: a friend pointed me to a vocals-only track of the Beatles singing Help!. Such tracks by other bands might be woefully disappointing, but not the Fab four:

I’d love to hear such tracks from the magnificent Mona & Lisa 🙂
Peace to all

Hi Robert from Boston, I’m Jacki from Ottawa Canada, nice to meet you. Thankyou for your animated intro…So glad you have now come out from under the rock, and congrats to now being a full fledged MLTBuzzerGroovier, aren’t they just the best?!… I became a Lifelong myself 13 yrs ago by happy discovery looking for a decent “California Dreamin” cover, thinking I’d never would come an effort even remotely close, then, as fate intervened, MLT came up and it was then and there decided upon, To become a Lifelong fan… Oh, I enjoy writing poetry, drawing/doodling/sketching, being creative, in general, and can sing, though not great but tolerable to most ears, play tambourine… Enjoy the MLT Club experience ?✌️

Hi Robert, welcome to the
Really glad you joined, and hope you enjoy all the wonderful things at the club.
Thanks for sharing that video, it is delightful to hear the Beatles vocals only harmony. Mona and Lisa do a very impressive acoustic version of “Help” with wonderful harmonies on one of the Billy Butler Radio shows at the Radio interview section of the club I recommend having a listen if you haven’t heard it yet. I’m also blown away by their vocals only harmony on “Little Drummer Boy”.

Hi Robert. Nice to see you joining this fabulous Club and offering such a detailed introduction. I too was blown away that memorable night I discovered the MonaLisa Twins and could not understand how they could have been around for so long without me knowing. Seems a total travesty that they are not known throughout the world like the Beatles themselves were.

Howdy Jacki, Jung, Howard (and all) – thanks for the welcome. Glad to be here.
Music is more of a solace than ever before (for me at least), and Mona and Lisa are among those who ease my soul the most.

Mona!!!
Thank you for your welcome and your kind words. No worries! You and Lisa and your family musical enterprise are nothing but a help in these hard times (a blessing, really). I love not only your sound, but your spirit. Thanks for all you do (all y’all do).
Robert
