Hi again from Mel's webmaster

I visited Mel today and both he and his wife Annette asked me to post a message from them in response to the replies to the last blog.

"Thank you all (again!) so much for the beautiful replies to the last blog.  We read them all and it is really uplifting to know so many people are out there thinking of us.  They really do give us a boost to the soul and help us through the day. 

Mel and Annette"

Mel also asked me to say how pleased he was to be visited by old friend John Thomas (Budgie) who came over despite not being in the best of health himself.

lots of love to Mel and his family!

Positive thoughts and positive people make for a great healer. Don't ever give up, Mel! I've been at Death's door and it can be easier to walk on in than to stay outside. It's our friends and loved ones who give us the strength to carry on. I am sending you all my thoughts and prayers. You are one of the good ones, Mel. Aren't many people like you around anymore. Keep on keepin' on,
Roger

John Thomas and Mel Galley together, two of my favorite guitar players ever. I would pay all I got to just have been a fly on the wall to hear the conversation between yall. Mel may God Bless You and Yours, I hope you kick this crap in the ass.

Hi Mel

Every time I pick up my Les Paul, I think of your playing. Wish I had a touch like that.

Be strong, best regards and wishes. My thoughts are with you.

Mel,

I'll drink a pint or two to you tonight. I blogged a bit about you on my MySpace. I hope it does you some small justice. Now, I'll pick up my guitar and pretend to be you for a a few hours. I know that I will do you no justice there.

Best Wishes in this life and the next,
Steve

Mel,

Your vibe is stronger than ever! I can feel it inside. For 35 years I have been rocking to your music. Always trying to turn my friends onto it as I thought it was so unique and ahead of its time. You guys in Trapeze were so filled with electricity in every show I saw which was quite a few here in and around St Louis Missouri. When I think about those shows it truly takes me back to some incredible feelings about past summers in the 70's. Your song Touch My Life is so true. I'm sure you take much satisfaction in knowing there are so many people whos life you have had such a great influence on. I'm 50 and you have been with me for 35 years man. I did have the priveledge to meet you one time at a meet and greet in 94 and you were really a fine gentleman having a good time with everybody.

Mel, Cheers to you! Wishing you and your family much peace and love from the midwest of America.

Tom

Just heard of Mel's passing from the Glenn Hughes newsletter...very sad but glad he has gone on to a much better world. All of my Memphis guitar buddies and myself who grew up with Trapeze have been immensely influenced by him. God bless Mel!
