Thank you so much my friend. I have always loved this song. I certainly didn't want to do it a dis~service my jacking it up. Your comments afirm to me that I did okay. I'm happy! :)
Oh yes Mel, see whenever I hear you play it's like why did I leave? Beautiful! You are so talented and Lynn said she fell in love with you because of your bass playing lol I can see why! Everything you do is from the heart! The beautiful diva Missy! She's gotten so good wow! So grown up! This was so beautifully done! Thank you for being great friends! I only wish we lived closer! Your videos always feel magical! Big hugs!
This is absolutely wonderful my friend, your performances and vidoes are really brilliant! Love the effects on this video and Great dancing as well! Much Love to you and your family Mel! Tamara xx
You are the sweetest Tamara....where have you been my whole YouTube life? :) I share your sentiments when you thank me for my comments to you. They are just as amazing coming frpm you to me. I hope to always have you as a good musical~buddy of mine.....it's simply awesome to exchange comments with you my friend. ( I bet you give great Christmas presents too...he he he!)
Hey Mel hahaha thank you so very much for this great reply! It really is a pleasure to have you as a new friend here on YouTube and it will always be a delight to check out your videos! I hope you are having a fantastic day today! Love, Tamara xxx
LOL my friend it is always a joy to come back to your videos! :0) We have been so very busy for the last few weeks, its great to log on today and see your messages! I hope you are doing great !Love, Tamara xx
Perfect Mel! This is wonderfully done. The Music is beautiful, Missy was brilliant and I loved all the places you visited. Looks like you were here in snowy Canada at one point. That must of cost a fortune in gas :p haha really great Mel!
I just happened to check in today and saw all these notifications of comments. I figured it was some spammer, so I go in to see what good spam info I was being told about....and it turns out to be YOU! My original~flow~momma!!!! SOOO glad you came by to visit...my Canadian!friend! Missed ya big time. A comment from you, a long time YT friend has more weight and meaning than a ton of spammers...to say the least, but even a zillion new people.
DUDE!!!!!! YOU REALLY HAVE SOME EXCELLENT SKILLS SPECIALLY IN MONTAGE (EDITION) some of my class mates should learn from you specially the effects of Chroma Key...
best wishes for you and Familia... and start to learn spanish, cause after the chinese and like the arabic it will be an improtant language ;-) lol so i dont need to write bad english ahahah .D
Comments as yours give me just the same in satisfaction. Who needs a billion hits if i got one who believes the end product is good enough to have as much? I swear....your sentiments did the same for me as a millions views would have done. Really.
How did I miss this comment until now? Sheesh! Thanky you Moody...and yes, God knows how to hook us up with our individual gifts. I thank Him all the time for that which He didn't have to give me. but did! =)
That's okay...take all the time you want. Just always come back and let me know what ya think. I read these comments all the time...it's the fuel that keeps me going. I will see you around N2cora my friend.
mel another great vid man enjoyed the little girl dancing too beautiful man how have i missed ya page for so long!!! u are a talented guy when you hit 5:00 to 5:30 you killed it!! be blessed
Lookie at you Mel!...Still rockin our world!...Thanks for the trip!...you shouldn't spend so much money traveling on your video's for us! lol ;) You spoil us so!..HUGS..Good to see you my friend!..Get your butt on Stickam one of these days!..would love to catch ya!
There you go with those harmonic octaves again! I really like the treatment you give to this piece. It really is a nice work, but it has been played to death so badly that I have a hard time listening to it in the original form. Your handling really brings the tune back to life, particularly with the jammin' that you lightly but firmly apply.
I understand where you are with that; i think a lot of us have that same thing from it being "over played" in the eighties. I think for me, it's been a while since hearing it and that was the break I needed in order to enjoy it again. Thanks marty for you always perfect in depth analysis. I always look forward to reading them! Take care my friend and see you around.
That is always awesome to hear...I want the satisfaction of the expression, but never at the price of injustice to the cover. Thanks for saying that...you hit it on the head Websteria. That's just what i wanted to hear & know. You made my day! :)
Honestly this song is like in my top 100 of all times. Usually when I hear a remake and or karaoke I scream sacrilege. You though my friend have brought a smile to my face with this.
She is almost 7. You are right...it is great to document all the changes she's going through. I hope to never get this account deleted just for that reason. Thanks for stopping by Brotha Xlelander my friend!!!!
Sad we got to worry about getting our account deleted, isn't it? And it seems it can be out of the blue and for no reason to speak of. It's getting to where you have to be a celebrity to have a secure channel on youtube.
Second, (I always got to do 2) LOVE the bongo groove. It's a small criticism of the song that that dotted quarter, 8th rhythm is SO prevalent, it's nice the bongos break that up. So , LOVE the groove, but I always do. Next. JAMMIN' SOLO toward the end!! Burnin' it UP!! There are always such nice subtle pads underneath, just layers and layers to listen to, never distracting, but the deeper I go the more I hear. Which is just like getting to know you, my dear friend.
Wow! Leave it up to my brotha to point out things i never even thought to think of. With you having pointed the bongo thingy...I am hearing it altogether different. It's completely different to me now...wow! what a difference another perspective makes. Next, I suppose you will tell me I am not as tall as I had thouoght I previously was. I better go check before you start telling me that! Lol.
YEAH1 It don't get no better! Mello and Missy across the globe. Oh, the globe should be so lucky! OK, visuals first... what a cool effect, although Missy on top of the mountain, geesh, she's be 150 feet tall! Good thing she's barefoot. She couldn't find shoes. I LOVE the sparkle where her inner light just shines through. Very, very cool. And you look good, man! Great hat, and you have got some LEGS on you! Whoo! What I like most, MOST, is the love in your eyes for what you do and her.
Ha ha ha!!! My mom always made thatr same comment about me legs! She had always convinced me that I should have been born a gal in which those legs would have been two "long" plusses. She stopped making those suggestions when the technology to "switch" teams became available..Lol. Thanks for pointing oout the little things...like the sparkle on Missy. I will have to do more of that with Missy in the future. Looks like you are a natural artistic consultant! I will have to upity your wages there.
So gorgeous! I bought this album as soon as it came out, a big Cyndi Lauper fan back then. And really loved this tune. Such lovely visuals and great musician ship..as always 5* :0)
Aw Nicole...you loved her too ey? She had some great songs...I agree! You are too generous with your words Thanks for letting your "eyes" stop over to check this one out! :)
So good to hear froom you Guitmartiman...I need to get over there and see what you and your wife have been doing!!!! Thanks for stopping by my friend!!!
Ha ha....Thanks E! I should have suprised you and slapped your picutre in this one too! Ha ha ha! I can see Missy dancing on a hil with your forehead on it! Lol.
I didn't realize just how relaxed she was until watching it back. Sheesh! She is coming out with those 60's "Beach~boy" moves! Whoa! Lol. Thanks for looking at it Vyn!!!
I am so glasd to be doing something right. Wow! I do hope to see you back!

Second, (I always got to do 2) LOVE the bongo groove. It's a small criticism of the song that that dotted quarter, 8th rhythm is SO prevalent, it's nice the bongos break that up. So , LOVE the groove, but I always do. Next. JAMMIN' SOLO toward the end!! Burnin' it UP!! There are always such nice subtle pads underneath, just layers and layers to listen to, never distracting, but the deeper I go the more I hear. Which is just like getting to know you, my dear friend.

I better go check before you start telling me that! Lol.
