my wonderful ivory Hohner Melodeon and me trying to play it on stage :-)

from the back to the audience!

one of my good friends playing the guitar for me and me finishing a song

Steps - Collabo with Annemiek Beex and Fred "the Keeper" - Annemiek, my most beloved Piano friend,helped me getting this track done I started with Fred, who did drums, bass, guitar, and one of the pianos ♥

Love Is - sorry no Blues on a Blues Thursday from our side! But a new one from Trinities! Janice, Danijela and me! Janice made the basic video, I just added some zoom drive and shine thru pics! HAPPY BLUES THURSDAY! (lyrics this time are in first comment we did not want to disturb your video watch! :-))) ♥

Amsterdam, dedicated to Mister WIM BADOUX, who is one of the deeply beloved Fanda members here: TKS for being with us our friend!

Sunshine Street this track was a really crazy drum and basstrack from Hervé in beginning, he wanted Danijela and me to maybe get inspired by! Danijela cutted and puzzled around with that and came in the end with a instrumental and I thought okay: crazy drumtrack again (you remember Johns collabo maybe :-)) I do just a first take with a old lyric! This is what we present today here on Fando to you our friends!

Ropedancer = SINGALONG ON DRUMS! My until now most challenging Collabo.......when John asked me to do a singalong on his drums without any other instrument I was excited! But when I heard the changes and rythm breaks and really wide variations of drumming in his track I was not sure if I could ever do it and add some value. It needed time but here we are and introduce: John Corsaro and Melani Cholie

Billies Cry: this song was posted by Claude already but I loved this collabo so much that I wanted to ... present to the people maybe have not heard yet. Claude invited me here to sing to a song he made with one of his bands and I loved to be member!! Specially I want as well again to remember these lyrics cause in the meantime again children dies in Syria and US....more from war and madness but the "sexual abuse" is just a part and my lyrics scratch just the surface of a problem under many!

Paper Heart LYRICS FROM OUR TRINITY JANICE ZAMB!!! I am back HOME!!!! YEAH!!! Hope you like the song the three girls made tohgether!!!

Dreams of a Spy COllabo of Hervé Southman, Opus Vertigo and Melani Cholie! I am in UK!!! So please if I have difficulties to comment maybe APOLOGIZE! I will catch up in case!! :-)

Abendstern, a song dedicated to Danijela´s Mum, cause when she heard it first time she could not stop to listen!! ♥ Hugs and Hearts to her!!

Wildmoon Woman is my first post for 2018 and a Collabo of Snakefishes (Fred "the Keeper" and Melani Cholie) based on a original idea of David Maurice Garrett with beloved special guest Ted Poulsen on keyboards and backings. My lyrics here were made for a song of a guy who is one of the "disappeared" we sometimes have by working on songs and do never hear anything anymore, don´t know if alive or in prison or ill or whatever happened.... I send higs to him where ever he maybe is..... I loved these lyrics so much and I waited nearly two years now if this guy maybe enters again but he never did and now I decided to use it for this song! Hope you like it! My Wildmoon Woman

Menage a trois Again I tried to learn something new for my voice. I loved so much all the french cha... read morensons and Binetti gave me opportunity to try that out with a beloved melodeon and a waltz rythm. In the beginning video you see Binetti as a child in a melodeon lesson! :-) The girl in video is my friend Heike who agreed to act as the "Marlene" walking thru the city in Melancholie!

Another Collabo with Sergej77 for our german language project "Sternendiebe" It is a lyric I made years ago for one of my live bands and I loved it so much cause it is a real dream... I hoped to find a new home which I did with this song and with my big friend and music fellow Danijela. Englisch translation in Video!

Red Dress Dance Another Collabo with wonderful Musician and soul: Banda Azul....hope you like this little piece of music! Yours Mel sends greez from a rainy autumn day in Germany! ♥

KINGS CROSS is a 8 minute Fantasy Opera and Musica Mystica. We made that already in August this year but me (Mel) could never get any better take than my first even if I tried a lot of things....and worked hard on it.........so we decided finally to leave it like it came and I made a video to support the LONG post here! (I never did a long song like that) It is experiment and good for the Halloween day...The with in the video is me by the way, lol I dressed up and used some strange makeup! Hope you like this work, we are excited what people will think about!! TKS for taking this time (if you can and may effort)

Million Dollar Babe ( collabo and vocal impro on a song from Ray Hofsteen)

Under Sail: dedicated to Paul Hoppe, who is one of the biggest Fanda Hearts!!!

Hi from yours Mel! Another Collab here with a new face and talent. I want to point out that the amazing thing here for me is that Danijela loves and accepts my first shoots on songs I do.

HIGHLY TALENTED!!! :-) Hope you like the little german popsong and give Danijela some attention!! :-)

FANDA - MEGA - COLLAB with Kathy Shortt Monica Bergo Hilde Svendsdrund Jim Jenkin Augusto Rungi Kent Taylor Jack Scannell Valentin Vasilev Melani Cholie As you know I love to work with people and doing music together. So I struggled long time doing a collab bringing as much Fanda people together as possible. I was afraid if this is maybe to much for me or I could maybe fail to satisfy all friends agreeing to take part but when Jim Jenkin offered to help me with production I decided to try out this mega collab. It was really lot of work and bringing the tracks together technically very difficult due to single track speeds and diffefrent quality of recordings and so on....but Jim managed and I say many many tks that I am now able to present you our fun-get-together (10 people total) herewith.....hope you like it and MANY TKS TO ALL TAKING PART HERE IN MY LITTLE SONG and please oversee the small overlappings of voices in the song from time to time!!! ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

ROBERTAS HELLO FROM HOSPITAL!! Dear all Fanda Friends! I got news from Robertas, He is still in hospital and it will last some time until he can go home! He asked me to please post the songs he and me did together in the meantime but I prefer to wait cause I want to share all the comments from you lovely people here with him. We confirmed to post one to say tks from his side for all your prayers, thoughts and nice wishes AND to send his regards to you. I promised to print out your words and will send it to his daughter, so she can take it to the hospital and read to him. The Song is a collab with John Corsaro, Robertas Slavenas and me and it is called "Jewel on Sale" It was the last piece of music he worked on, when he stumbled into illness and pain. The Video is not perfect but I decided to leave it like that, same day he left to hospital. Have fun and tks already now for your greetings on it to him!!! Yours Mel.
