    I am also a Melissa. After many years of struggling to conceive, we finally were expecting our child. While we were anxiously awaiting her birth, I had a call from a dear friend who said she was driving and heard this song and it made her smile( and tear up) because she knew how happy I was. She actually pulled over and recorded it and left it for me to enjoy on her phone message. I had never thought anything special of my name. But, each time I hear this song, I can't help but to smile and thank my Savior, Jesus Christ for answering our prayer for our daughter, and, for the blessings of having a friend who supported me through that long journey!
    Have a wonderful day, everyone. May we all continue to find joy and happiness as we appreciate the musical talents of The Allman Brothers!

      I am a Melissa, named long before this song for my Greek grandmother. Melissa means Honey Bee. I love my name, but when I was at school in Liverpool for a year, a professor only called me 'Mel.' Everyone and everything in Liverpool has a 'nick' and there was nothing I could do about it. All my classmates called me that and I really hated it. It reminded me of a mechanic's name or a guy who ran a diner in an old TV show. But... I learned to appreciate having a Liverpool nickname. My old friends from there still call me Mel and I still sign all my emails to them with it.

      But over time, a few songs, a dozen or so, truly stand out as special. The right melody, the right moment, the right funk, the right lyrics, the right sentiment, everything just works.

    My older brother brought the Allman's first album home one day and said, "You gotta hear this". I was like 15 in 1969 and I listened. I didn't really know what to think about it. It was very different from Zeppelin, Cream, Doors - the Woodstock era bands that I was into. But it had something and as time passed and more Brothers' albums came out, I sure got wrapped up in it; much deeper than I realized. By 1973, I was ready to leave college and hit the road with the band. But making a career out of playing music wasn't in the cards for me. I had the pleasure of seeing the band many times from 1973 on and through the many different formations of the group. But in the first few years after Duane and Berry were lost, the band still had that soulful groove and sweet-sounding harmonies. And you could feel the sorrow they were enduring with each song they delivered. You have to give them a lot of credit for working through those years. And while many other music styles came and went over the next four decades, the Allman Brothers never swayed, never changed the music, only the band members. Pure Legends.

    I live in Gulf Breeze, just across the bay from Pensacola. I just read on a FB page that this song was written in 1967 at what was the Evergreen Court Motel here on the west side of town. This FB page had a collection of old pics and a post card of the place. It's still there, now some pretty shabby little apartments. I've past the place a dozen times but didn't know the connection. I will have to ride over there a better look. Was a nice place until the interstate highways took all the traffic away. Like many other towns and cities. The old part just slowly dies.

    And went to The Big House ( The Allman Brothers museum)
    I put a chopper motorcycle symbol on my Dads tomb
    Because he had a Harley chopper and The Roll Gypsy Roll on...
    Because my Dad was truly a Gypsy
    He passed last year not Because he wanted to. But my mother was his Melissa even though he married again...

      Do it now. Life is short. There may not be another tomorrow...
