EAT A PEACH

Mickayla was eating a peach today and it reminded me of the time I first heard The Allman Brothers. My favorite song off this album was Melissa. The album was "Eat a Peach". I always said if I had a daughter I would name her Melissa after a good friend of mine back in high school. She passed away at the early age of 19 due to a diabetic coma and whenever I hear this song it always reminds me of her. Unfortunately, I never had children so never got the chance to name a daughter Melissa but my friend still lives in my heart. Hope you enjoy the song!

Cute. What a story and a cascade of memories. Hard to top a good night of Allman Brothers. Sweeeeeet Melissa....

"Freight train ... each car looks the same ... all the same
And no one knows the gypsy's name
No one hears his lonely sighs
There are no blankets where he lies
In all his deepest dreams the gypsy flies ... with sweet Melissa"
