Brilliant Sunday afternoon viewing. Sounds like you need my healing hands. Sounds like you had a great time. Love the video angle in the hammock! felt like I was in your cabin.
What can I say, Mel...your music....such character in there, textures, rhythms, colours, it's all there! I am so impressed by what you are doing, you have my total respect! Two large musical canvasses...take your time and, as they develop, the music will tell you what to do just like a painting! Love it! xx
There are so many different styles of playing, it may be easier to play tunes “known” to work. Putting oneself out there with your own compositions and style takes guts. How wonderful it is to try these out amongst a small but appreciative group of dancers 👏👏
That was really interesting. ❤ hammock chat - very chilled! Agree that Brexit biscuits might need a bit more work - some of the dancers seemed to falter a bit during that one - they lost the rhythm I think.. not sure why, but for me personally, as a dancer, I think I might disagree with Lucas - there might be a place for emphasising that first beat.. (as Lucas said - personal preference plays a part - and also how experienced the dancers are). But I thought Upland Opland went beautifully - the dancers really seemed to flow naturally to it. Great work overall on your part and I hope the enjoyment of the dancers will motivate you to do more of this. Lots of love.❤
hi mel. you really got them tired with your wonderful oppland upland tune. 😂 i am very impressed how cheeky you get by placing your variations every now and then. a great musician you really are. and thanks for sharing your thoughts with us. very inspiring.

Thank you! 😃
This video was just a massive Cabin flex wasn’t it 😂 (and I’m for it, it’s incredible + lovely hammock!)

Bravo Mel pour t'être "jetée à l'eau" as we say in French 🙂
@@viroflay ahaha merci! No buoyancy aid when playing solo - but I've been working on my swimming ;-) 💪
