Love the channel name ... probably because I'm old enough to have worked with them a lot

In the 4 yrs I've had this channel, you are the very first to comment on its name. They were already being phased out by the time I got into electronics although I do remember getting burned by one and shocked by a different one. Do not miss them at all!

This was one of the first songs Greg ever wrote and Melissa was a Spanish toddler running around a grocery store with her mother yelling "come back Melissa".

This was also the first song Duane played slide on, on the ''Duane & Gregg Allman'' Bold Records (1973) recorded in 1968.

Greg played this song at Duane's funeral.

This is such a great song, the sound quality does not matter. Just an amazing archive, thanks so much for sharing

Wonderful song about the finality of this life. It comes and goes so fast and there's so many things you wish you had not done, had done, or done better. You can only hope you've left your mark somewhere in someone's life for the better.

I love this song! My sister in law is the only person I have ever met with this name . She is BEAUTIFUL IN EVERY WAY! This song fits her. She had never heard of my sweet ALLMAN Brothers Band so I will send this to her with love. It is such a lovely melody and is dug wit such passion. It is in my top 5 favorites you sing. I am a Georgia Peach with part Mississippi mud in my veins . Sometimes I just feels heart pull towards Georgia in my whole heart and soul and I know it is time to go.

I love this song...from Georgia to Arizona I play a version of this, "trying to copy Gregg and Dicky...Everybody stops and listens when i play this...and I'm marginal. at best

I named my first daughter 'MELISSA' because of this song and the Great Allman brotherss. The first time I heard this song I knew that my first girl would be named Mekissa. I wasn't even married then.
