Ladies and gentleman this is your next BB King, mark my word on it, I know talent when I see it, awe Mel it's not fair if only we lived closer we'd be rockin audiences!!! You need to come on the road with me at some point! I was groovin at my computer chair during this!

[MacBraveheart]

Just popping to show some love. Am really unwell but this made me feel good. Brigid says hi- she is ill in bed with me too. LOL! Two ill ladies. Would be awesome if she'd agree to let me film her dancing to this... But she is pouting at me. Haha! xxxx

[BrigidMhairi]

Alert- this is an identical comment post:

Just coming by to check out on MY video. ALL MIIIIINNNNNEEEEEE! MWUAHAHAHA!

..or something like that. MWUAHA!

xBrigid

[Mellomel]

Ha ha ha....yep! That was pretty much it! Now I am carefully avoiding the remove button and posting the identical reply that would have gone up: "Sheesh Brigid...you are too kind...." wait! I wasn't going to say that! I will come back to remove my reply and post the actual comment...as soon as it comes back to me. :)

[tammpon]

I been hearing a lot about you from your lady angeleyz63 to check this vid out and DAMN this is tight bro! I loved the whole concept and then I read that you did this in 2 secs, blew me away! I gotta steel this idea! It's so simple yet it is so slick! Im subscribing to you!

Wow I wanted too but Im already! I must of from another vid! I know tallent when I see it! Too bad 4 me I never see it in the mornings...lol PeaceouTy!

TAMMpON

[angeleyz63]

Hey there....I am just seeing this comment now! Sheesh! Thanks for checking it out! I hope you get a chance to check out the oheck out the other version. I will have to check your channel and to see some of your work as well!

[rashb]

No lie, it feels like a commercial. Like if you could do the ipod commercial trick, where your image is all white, and the rest of the image is green or blue. That could be a good remix. This song is Mello. It fits your name.

[Mellomel]

ha ha....I see that now that you mentioned it! I just got this vibe for white in the background these days. maybe it's my indirect way of putting "blacks" in the front of "whites" after all these decades! Ha ha....I'm talkin foolish now! But plan to experiment with these elements for a while...i am reminding myself that too much of anything isn't good. I think that's where "mello" was originated from: The music association and stuff. Great observatuion RB!

[sistermoonshine13]

Mellomel your awesome. I didn't know you play bass. My bro plays bass has for years. Love it Mell. You rock hon:)))

[Mellomel]

Ooooh SMS! Where have you been homegurl? Lol....he he he. That is extra special when your own family plays the same instrument....it must bring all kinds of relative memories to you...I'm sure. Does he still play? If he does...I sure would love to hear him...I am sure he's a monster...based on playing since for ever!:) Hope one day that he gets hooked up to the tube....and then I will reallly get to check him out. It was so goodto hear from you & for you to stop by. Talk ta ya soon my friend!

[MacBraveheart]

Popping in to say- say the word and I send whatever you need. I can try to get Brigid doing some happy dancing against a whiteish background for you... Or if you were to send her the MP3 she could just dance...? :P

[Mellomel]

Wow. (light bulb moment) You can send pics? That's right....you are the excellent photographer that you are. Ooh ooh ooh! I'm going to PM you right now! we have to talk!!!!! again! Lol.

[Xelanderthomas]

awesome

[Mellomel]

Brotha X....you know you are becoming a household name around here! You know Lynn absolutely loves your videos (so do I...when I finally get time to sit down). This may sound crazy...but for me....it's kind of special when a brotha is complementing another brotha for some bass playing! It some how takes me back to the Brothers Johnson...my major influence! I don't know why. Thanx for stopping by and for the PM. I'll be over there to your channel soon!

[Bree5]

I m VERY Impressed there Mister Mel! ;) Now wonder Lynn fell in love with you!..you are a man of many talents!....Love and hugs to you all! :)

[Mellomel]

There you are Bree! You just watch....son as I get all my ducks in a row....I will make a song ...not just for you....but about you as well. I think I will calll it.....thinking.....hmmm.....I know! "Bree!" :)

[BrigidMhairi]

What only 22 ratings!!!!????? It is PRETTYFUL and needs loads more! MWUAHAHA! *tries to double vote*

[Mellomel]

Aw Brig.....not to worry dahlin....there will be a few more votes to come. I am still impressed with the solid 5 star ratings....usually it averages to 4 1/2 by this time....but it's 5 solid ones. Wow!

[BassPimp66]

Wicked! I shoud hire you to do a music video of my band. I love the sound, and the video!

K E E P G R O O V I N

[Mellomel]

I was just playing somethin somethin for my friends in the community. I didn't expect a REAL bassist to drop in. I have seen your live vids....and some of the other bass player vids....and know that there are some real monsters out here. I am glad to here you say what you have said in this comment...because there are guys around here that I would never want to "bass~off" with, but I still want to play my songs! So Thanx BP.....I will KEEPGROOVIN! Luv your technique as well!

[phaedress]

Oh sweet bass... such a Mello sound.

[Mellomel]

Wow P....nice way of of putting it! I think I will kind of yuse that wording in some future title....of one of these next songs. Don't worry Phaedress....I will give you the credit (for being a title writer) Lol. Luv Ya homegurl!

[BellaBKNY]

Wow... just Wow! i have chills from this *favorited* so talented!

[Mellomel]

I would love to put that wonderful voice you have...onto one of these originals. That would be chill~worthy in my opinion! :)

[HisTrousership]

Sound really good. thanks.

[Mellomel]

Thanx so much for checking it out HTS!

[GrannyPanties30]

I was totally bobbing my head to this!! I love it! My brother plays bass as well. It can make or break a song. The bass is the foundation! Did you ever see that video about the bass by InHisImage? It was a perfect illustration. You look good brother!!

[Mellomel]

i did see that, and It was a perfect illustration. You are so right with your bass theory. You are deeper /more knowledgeble than I already thought you were. Know what chances are there for you guys coming up to CA so I can get you to sing on some track of some sort. YOu would be the most sought after collab person ever! Let it be....some time within this lifetime...let it be! Lol.

[GrannyPanties30]

I tell ya, that would be the coolest thing EVER! I would love to come and sing on a track. But, it might be awhile...Mike would hate me if I went without him...so I will have to wait till i can score some real time off because Mike doesnt fly...at all...ever! How bout you all just come vacation out here in the big MB? Ive got a great studio guy who loves the bass!

[Mellomel]

That would be just as awesome. It's amazing to me that we really know each other (through this technology) to the point where we are talking in terms of driving up and meeting...yet Ya'll never met me yet. Tell your neighbors not to call the police just because a big black guy is knocking on your front door with an appetite! it's like we know you guys that much....Believe me..we would take you up on that! You guys are fam! I just don't know about the pets getting along! Lol.

[hammersmom]

Very nice!!! :)

[BrigidMhairi]

Isn't it eggshellent El?! For MEEEEEEE!  lolz *does her happy dance*

[Mellomel]

I need to get you doing that happy dance in one of these videos! Lol.

[Mellomel]

Thanx for coming by HM. Is it true that you really are Mc Hammer's mom? You know....the rapper guy from the mid 80's? Like....Wow!

[Featherflow]

You are so talented. This is wonderful Mel WOW!

[Mellomel]

Batgurl! So glad you came out! This is the gig I will be focusing on for a while....and will be looking for you as one of my regulars in the audience. You know....kind of need ya there to let people know ....like....when to clap and stuff. Lol.

[Featherflow]

Oh I will be there Mel batwings 'n' all!! I don't think I'll need to let anybody know when to clap though, I'm sure you will hear cheers from start to finish. Honestly Mel, that's beautiful. It kind of reminds me of a Sade Instrumental. A beach, a beautiful sunset and the Ocean breeze, tis very chill out. Perfect!

[Mellomel]

wow! That is awesome that I can do anything to bring pictures to your mind! so interesting that your mind pictures are taking place outside...perfect sunsets and all. I was actually thing of a gourmet atmospheric pub by candle light...just about six round tables....filled with all my YouTube friends. But of course, there is Lynn....walking over to your table ...insisting that you and your hubby come over to ours. wow! I love mind pictures! Luv you to Flow~babes! :)

[MacBraveheart]

Dropping by again. I love it so much. LOL! I really like the video/playing and don't think it is a rough at all! But will so look out for the next version too. Much love heading your way again Mel! Been a wonderful 24 hours for her and I... LOL!

[Mellomel]

Ohhh man! I am getting some ideas for the final version viddy! Can you ask Brigid if she minds me using some of her YouTube images for the next video? It's going to really be her song / video then! Can't wait! Sheesh!

[BrigidMhairi]

Haha- ask away and mum can send you better versions! I would LUUUUURV that! COOLNESS (actually "randomness" as that is the new cool word)

[Mellomel]

Ha ha ha....ooooooooookay! :)

[lisasimpson]

MelloMel jams, for reals!! Brigid is one lucky chica!! :)

[Mellomel]

Hey Beccah...I know you love music......I think you will be next in line....for some music / video appreciation, for all the years of support...and being there for Missy and stuff. We can't wait to meet you on a future 777! We may force you to come back home with us! You may need to hide! Lol.

[angeleyz63]

I just love this! You are da bomb!!!

[Mellomel]

Are you sure you are not justy saying that because you are my baby's momma? I will always wonder that! Hmmm. Lol.

[homidog11]

AWESOME SONG! you rock!!!!! =D

[Mellomel]

Thanx HD! I really hope you come back for the final version.....it's not fair that I just threw this one in there...and teased everyone. Everytime I hear the glitches....I quiver! EEEeekk! But I am glad you can see the diamond in the rough! I really was feeling the idea of it.

[Skrapper]

Well done MelloMel, cool sound. Wish you the best for this project of yours ;)

Take care man ;)

[Mellomel]

Yeah Skrapper.....I think I have found my knitch....and it will help to avoid the two year burn out...Lol. Glad you could be here for that kind of announcement...and look forward to seeing you at the final cut soon! You Better be there! Lol.

[Ravensinger]

Very cool...I didn't know you played bass!  Me too! Awesome. You're way better than I am I'm sure though...I'm a newbie!...hehehe Great stuff Mel...hope that you are well!

[Mellomel]

I would love to hear you some time Mic! I thought you looked like a cool musician.......I just thouught that you only did vocals though. Sheesh Mic...why couldn't you guys live any closer....so we then could have a jam session! It is not fair at all....that I get to know and love friends on YouTube...but can't be apart of their lives...invite myself over...and eat all their food! Not fair at all! Lol.

[soulpatrol2007]

you know I feel the exact same way LOL especially about seeing you, so either I'm going to Cali or you're coming here or both!

[BrigidMhairi]

MY comment went missing!!!! Waaaaaahhhh!!!! This is AWESOME! I have never had something made for me before and this is sooooo cute! Only where is the little guitarist?! I need him too! MWUAHAA! :D :D :D xxxxxBrigid

[Mellomel]

Oh...Lol....he will b in that final cut version coming out....But yeah....this song is definitely named after you. Keep your eyes open for it!

[BrigidMhairi]

I am listening to it again. It sounds totally rad. LOL! And now I see it has changed to being called Draft Version. So cool, I cant wait! =D

[Mellomel]

Yeah...you can hear some of the glitches...but I was so excited....I didn't have the patients to do any re~takes. Now that this is out....I can gather my composure...and upload the polished version...which will be done when it's done. I plan to have shots of the city, city people, and quick cuts of me actually playing. I couldn't have come up with a better title; thanx for letting me put your name on it! Lol.

[DaleATL2]

Great job Mel! WOW!

Loved it!

[Mellomel]

Good to see ya Dale buddy! But hey....be sure and come back for the final version. This just got out cause I was too happy...and didn't have any patience! Sheesh!

[DaleATL2]

[nstroo]

[Mellomel]

Ha ha....for hours ey? What a confidence booster that was! Lol. Yeah...I want to do all original stuff! I think it's going to be a fun! I'll be looking for you during that time as well Nstroo!

[bgirl90]

This is awesome Mel!

[Mellomel]

Oh Pam....it's kind of wierd....opening up a hidden passion. Just promise me that you will be there to help keep me grounded!Otherwise...I think I might go crazy...I mean even more crazy than I am already! Lol.

[bgirl90]

You got a friend in me! I'm NEVER turn my back on you my friend!

[VioletKitty411]

Thank you for dedicating a song for Brigid, Mel. She's a dear friend of mine for YEARS on the net (or her mum is and she is by association). Love you!!! XOXOX

[Mellomel]

I am glad you are in with these two VK! It's funny how we (you & I) can weed out some of the most deserving people...and just make them our own with the little things we find to do. Just the other week....we were thinking of you in the same way. I swear...I love you guys so!

[MacBraveheart]

WOW! Brigid hasn't seen this yet because she is asleep, I think! I just logged myself and here is my sub updates and THIS! What an awesome gift to her and what a marvellous video. You are a STAR! (((Scottish HUG)))

[Mellomel]

I showed Lynn your heart felt letter. You guys(and the likes of you) are what keeps the inpiration coming. Good people attract good people & good things their way. That's just a scientific fact. Don't forget....this is a draft (45 minutes to make) cause i want to get going on the final cut version. I will be lovin that one!

[MacBraveheart]

LOL! And I PMed you before I saw your warning about it. LOL! I was so excited. It is a first for both of us and that is why I am so struck by it. Been such an exciting week for us after the heavy Summer so it is all good! You are a real angel. :D

[Heidiscope]

Nice bass playing!! :-)

[Mellomel]

I just need you to sing with it on some tracks Heidi! :P You and your brother need to move to CA!

[Heidiscope]

haha, don't know about move there but i'd love to visit-would be sooo awesome! What do u know, i could have the privelidge of meeting you. . now that would be a treat. :-)

[manhill]

cool bass!

[Mellomel]

Thanx MH! aren't you a musician? I always thought you played something! I guess you just have the look like you could jam on a guitar, or something! Lol.

[manhill]

hehe, mel, i really love to hear that i at least look like somebody that could jam... but...no. i can dance though! ;) and i am not a heave-metal-guy! i`m down with funk ;)

[Mellomel]

Lol...I knew you could get down with something! so if it is funk....Let it be Funk!...Let there be Funk! Ha ha ha/

[gleegirloz]

Wow, you are a man of many talents Mel!!!!! Very,very impressive...gotta lay down a strong bass beat lol! Love it :) Cheers,Glee x

[Mellomel]

I am amazed that you know of Stanley CLark! Wow...he was one of my influences.

[bowiechick]

Wow that was awesome! Great job, do moore!

[Mellomel]

Hey BC! Good to hear from ya! Hadn't seen ya in sooo long. I plan to do more...better watch out before I do one called, "Bowiechick"...:P Lol.

[Mellomel]

(new thought just came in) Not just more, but as Chris Crocker would say...."More More More!!!" At least it sounded funny in my head....um..yeah.

[alnewberry]

Sweet 6 string bass.

[Mellomel]

Hey Al.....Thanx for coming by.....I think this is the direction I will be going in. Going to be lots of fun.

[alnewberry]

I started playing bass when I was 18, although I can't say I ever got very good at it.

[Mellomel]

I would like to hear you someday Al. Here is hgow I see it; each musician has there unique strengths....I bet you can do some things I can't do. I know you are better than you actually think. You need that to come from someone else. That's why I need to hear ya!

[greatlakeskayaker]

Very cool, I love the bass

[Mellomel]

That's great doug. Hope you come back when I put more up there. I need to swing by and see what vids you have been up to.
