    Memories! A neighbor/friend's little daughter, named Melissa, was diagnosed with cancer. She was old enough to know that was not a good thing and was afraid. Her mother shared with Melissa that Geno had lung cancer (I did) and he is ok. She would come to me for support and courage and I would sing this song to her. She went into remission and since they moved away a long time ago-she is probably in her 30's now, but this brought back her sweet memory to me. thanks buddy!

      Hey Gayle, if you don't have Greg's book "My Crosses To Bear" you might consider buying it. A tell-all chronology of the ABB from Greg's perspective.....an eye opener. Got to see them on their last tour when they came thru Virginia Beach. Glad I did. Now fond of Tedeschi-Trucks band as that's where Derek Trucks landed post ABB. Loved your post.

    This is one of my favorite songs, it's such a southern frame of mind. Every time I hear this song I almost cry. You can feel the hardship in this song somehow. This is often a southern woman's experience in life waiting for a man who's working out of town or has to travel for work to come home. Especially those in the construction business. I just love this song because it says he's thinking about her.

    Jamal, read Gregg's bio. His dad was a military man who was murdered when he stopped to help a man. His widow went out to work to support herself and her 2 very young sons. Duane was kind of brother/father at same time as they grew up without a father. Losing Duane was a huge personal loss. Complicated people with enormous talents & willingness to work hard & they found like minded musicians to create a unique style. Its said the Fillmore Live album is the best rock album of all time. Please look at those songs. Read up on Duane as well who played on other great songs as a sideman.

    I absolutely LOVE this song -- one of my forever most beautiful favorites. It has such a deep and emotional impact that I've never been able to explain, but I'm near tears every single time. Watching the live performances -- especially with Dickie Betts. Watching Gregg just sent chills, especially the lyrics about the "dead man's ghost" -- he looked up and makes me wonder if he was thinking of or seeing his brother Duane in that moment.

    A boy I grew up with became a professional musician, playing drums for several rock bands. Over the years, no matter where he was playing, he would call me and play this song. I somehow represented a time of innocence, his school boy crush, the hometown girl. He came through Dallas once and we went to the movies, walked around downtown holding hands and ate cupcakes at a sidewalk bakery. We stole a couple of sweet kisses before he had to take off. It was all so pure, sweet and innocent. I got to be Melissa that day. He passed away last year, but this song occasionally pops up in my FB memories from him.

    The Allman Brothers Band Lyrics
    "Melissa"
    Crossroads, seem to come and go, yeah.
    The gypsy flies from coast to coast
    Knowing many, loving none,
    Bearing sorrow havin' fun,
    But back home he'll always run
    To sweet Melissa... mmm...
    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... mmm...
    Again the morning's come,
    Again he's on the run,
    Sunbeams shining through his hair,
    Appearing not to have a care.
    Well, pick up your gear and Gypsy roll on, roll on.
    Crossroads, will you ever let him go? (Lord, Lord)
    Will you hide the dead man's ghost,
    Or will he lie, beneath the clay,
    or will his spirit float away?
    But I know that he won't stay without Melissa.
    Yes I know that he won't stay without Melissa.

    Such a beautiful song, haunting guitar work by Dickey Betts on this. It showed, to me, just how legendary the Allman Bros. were & are, that they were able to pick up the pieces after Duane Allman's death & come back with albums like "Eat A Peach" & "Brothers & Sisters". Amazing.

    Wow! My Greg Allmam story. 1992 I was a DirecTv installer. I arrived at work to see I had a work order for Greg Allman in San Rafael. Arrived onsite and was introduced to Mr. Allman. Now a bit of background. Melissa was one of my all time favorite songs as a young teenager. Had the 8-track! I had long blonde hair and at times was compared to him in looks. So I meet him and start my install. Finished up and walked Greg thru basic operation of satellite service's. He offered me a joint, but politely declined. Left the jobsite with a small intimate priceless memory of one of my rock heros. Peace to you Jamal, and to all, as you walk your path...

    Gregg said he wrote it way before fame & was liked by his brother before his untimely death. His bro was guitar legend Duane Allman. But, he perfected the song with the band later. But, its obviously emotionally about his dead brother (lyric about dead man & no blanket for his head) and his love of life. It's so melancholy but exceptionally beautiful. The acoustic version with Gregg, Dickie Betts & Warren Haynes on Dennis Miller youtube video is also superb. The Allman Brothers were perfection.
