My band is doing a heavy version of that tune.. we're calling it "Metal Melissa". Kind of a hybrid of "Melissa" and Metallica's "Metal Militia". It's fun.

It's on one of my favorite albums of all times -- "Eat a Peach".

I know that song- it's got all that Dickie Betts noodling in it...

Oh, jeez! That was just used on a TV commercial...

What's the name of that song?

I have the cassingle at my folks' house.

Oh- "Melissa" by the Allman Brothers!

An utterly simple and terrific bass line. Great tone, and has that classic tone of the era.

Dickey Betts aint' noodlin' there either It's one of those songs where every note is well placed.
