That place on the lake sounds awesome!! I’m presuming it’s also in Wisconsin? I would love to live on a lake…. and not just for the fishing….. just being that close to an abundance of wildlife would be great. I also enjoy woodworking, although that’s another hobby I had to shelf while working on the road the last ten years. After my knee…

I attempted to set up my rod making stuff while I was in New Orleans. Not very practical…. I wasn’t able to finish this rod while there because I was afraid the fumes from the epoxies might get into the other apartments. So I built the handle for this rod and I’ll have to finish this one after my knee and my work bench in my garage is back…

When I was a kid (around 10 yo), we lived in Laguna Niguel. Next to Laguna Beach in Southern California…. and not far from San Clemente. The San Clemente pier had those party boats. If you were under 12 yo…. it was only $4 for a half day boat. I went so often that the crew on the boat knew me each time I walked on board. One day, one of…

I definitely took notice of the Barcalona vlog when the volleyball part came up. I’ve played in the sand and that is a whole other world compared to gym floors. But it’s good practice to play in the sand….. it really sharpens your reflexive skills. In sand, you have to react a fraction quicker to compensate for the sand causing loss of…

I used to enjoy hiking also…. but I think those days are over… we’ll see. Never got into running the 5K’s or any other distance….. but I did run a lot back in high school. Back then, I was playing on the baseball team and outside of high school, I played a lot of volleyball. So I was always trying to keep my legs in shape…. for both.…

That is a very impressive array of pens. I also like that wood box with the drawers that you keep them in….. very nice! I don’t think I would have ever gotten a fountain pen had I not met you. Or journaling for that matter….. but I really enjoy both. My collection of two pens (LOL) pales in comparison to yours. I don’t think I’m going to…

While I share no musical talent with the twins….. I do share their passion for the outdoors and animals. Spending time in the outdoors is like hitting the “reset” button of life. I do remember that Q&A about them taking that survival class….. very cool. Along with a long list of other similarities, this is one of the big ones that Mona &…

My lifelong hobby has been fishing. I got hooked (pun intended…LOL) when I was around 5 years old. My grandfather used to take me fishing when I came to visit. We went all over the place mostly fishing for bluegill (in the south they call them Bream) and Crappie (my grandfather called them speckled perch). He was a really good fisherman…

Happy Birthday Nima!!

I used to live in Connecticut….. that’s where I got introduced to Lobster Rolls…. they are great!

I may have told you this….. but when we were in Texas (Ft. Worth area) we met this lady at my son’s karate lessons. Her husband (he had passed away when we met her) in the 60’s was in a band called Space Opera. Back when they were trying to make it out on the road working as opening acts for the headliners….. they met Kris Kristofferson and…

Tim…. I also think Rudi could have had an influence as well. With him already in the music business, they kinda had a teacher to show them the ropes going forward….. things that are not taught in school.

Dan also had one of those moments in life. Only he was in college when he was discovered by Irving Azoff. Dan was nervous about going to…

I do think Mona and Lisa do an absolutely fantastic job when they cover a song. I’ll even say I like their covers more than the original (with some exceptions, but not many). And, I think doing covers is very important for an artist on the rise. Especially in today’s time with YouTube being one of the main conduits for getting noticed.…

Nice photos…. sorry the weather shortened all the fun everyone was having. Glad no one got hurt (seriously) by those strong winds. Those outings look like a blast!

Back when I was fishing in bass tournaments….. one of things that made that so much fun was hanging out with all the other anglers before and after a days fishing. Many…

I’m in the same boat as Doug…… non-musician. I’m a listening enthusiast!!

And, like Doug, that would be cool to hear your bands version of an MLT song!

I agree Jung….. I do believe it’s their originals that sets them apart from the vast majority of artists currently out there. I’m absolutely certain I would not be here (the club) if it wasn’t for their originals. That’s what got my attention when I was first learning about them. There are several singers out there with nice voices…. and…

These are true classics…… and while I’m no expert on what makes a song timeless….. I do believe the lyrics is what pushes them over the top. Combined with some imaginative music arrangements…. these are great songs. When songs reach someone emotionally with lyrics that can also relate to their lives……. masterpiece!!

I remember watching the behind the scenes for this video……….. they are so creative working with just the things they have on hand….. amazing!

As you expressed…… MLT are great lyricist. I doubt I would be here if they were just average. There’s a lot of musicians out there with nice voices…. play instruments well….. but for me,…
