@Bietel sorry haven't got any stories

@wargarurumon

I wouldn't say you failed, it's music that can reflect the listener's mood I guess.

And actually I like it, makes me feel I have to check out more of that band. I heard some things I liked quite some time ago, this confirms it.

Any Derroll-related stories maybe...?

@Bietel most of the people in the clip are flemish, i guess they where on vacation in herbeumont( in the french-speaking part of belgium).

for the music i hoped for a more joyfull/melancholic mood. it seems that i have failed a bitt here

Do I spot a Dutch connection here?

One of the kids has a shirt that says "I'm 2 years old" in Dutch ("ik ben 2 jaar")...

Indeed it's Derroll Adams, banjo (in case) and all.

I wish I could have seen/heard him (and Alex Campbell!) play live... too late...

The combination with the music gives this footage a melancholic, and even sometimes an almost creepy sinister atmosphere - although they are obviously having fun there.

Or is that just me?
