Odes to Air Conditioning
So as you may have have guessed by my absence since the weekend, I've had a couple of rough days lately, but by way of making it up to my beloved readers, please enjoy ewverybody's favorite sisters from Liverpool (by way of Austria) The Mona Lisa Twins and a lovely cover of Don McLean's "Vincent."
I've said it before and I'll say it again -- those gals have really got it.
I should add that McClean is not particularly in fashion these days (for reasons I neeedn't go into in a family blog) but that's still a really good song.
Love the twins and the song, not so much the author.
ReplyDeleteAndy Breckman is voluble on the subject.
ReplyDeletePretty good song? I'd nominate it for the prettiest song ever. The twins do a terrific version.
ReplyDeleteHere's one with a ringer on lead guitar: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16BrKQPmouo
Lovely.
ReplyDeleteI think my favourite cover by the twins is "God Only Knows":
