Hello friends! This summer has been truly fantastic, the tour of As You Like It a huge success, Green Theatre Collective did two Green Scene educational workshops, one at Sylvester Manor on Shelter Island and one at the YMCA summer camp in Brooklyn. 3rd Rail had a rockin performance on August 3rd, and besides the featured music in As You Like It, MELA has been polishing up our sound to create an album this fall.
Right now it's time to take a break from all the planning, teaching and performing. I'm heading off to Florida to visit my grandma and spend some time at the beach, and then I'm off to Peru for 12 days! I have no idea what kind of adventures, epiphanies, inspiration and spiritual powers await me in the land of the Incas. But I'm sure it will influence my music, theatre, and teaching.

DATE CHANGE: Mugby Junction presents: MARCH Good Vibes Jam Session
NOTE: THIS EVENT WAS CANCELED LAST WEEKEND AND IS NOW HAPPENING SATURDAY, MARCH 5TH!
Mugby Junction, that is, Melanie Closs and Becca Schall, (a newly formed casual musical duo) present the second ever Good Vibes Jam!
We jammed out last month and I think all four participants agree it was a lot of fun and musically satisfying. We created some magic that night, let's do it again!
The way it works is, someone starts a groove or a chord progression, and we feel it, and we improv, and we don't worry about playing the ...wrong thing because HEY it's never been played before...
Bring friends/significant others, instruments, food/drinks, we'll all jam it out. beat boxing, vocalists, freestylers, flamenco, tap and belly dancers welcome! I have a bunch of instruments too- guitars, keyboard, ukulele, strumstick, recorders, egg shakers, a djembe and random percussive instruments...
The day: MARCH 5TH
The time: 7-11pm
The Place: My house (rsvp for details)
Please rsvp so I know what to plan for.
with HARMONY and GOOD VIBES-
