Great show at Sally's last night. I am emailing photos. My wife bought the new CD and we love it - turning our grownup kids onto your great sound.
I think Angel on My Shoulder, which I got from the website, is one of the greatest songs I've heard, and I've been listening for 50+ years.

See you some time soon.

Hey Melvern,
My best friend bought me your new CD and gave it to me as a surprise last Friday. I LOVE it !! Mr. Albee really
rocks ! We've seen you guys twice, and are looking forward to a third time.

I heard sad and blue twice on wkze and fell in love with it. At 64 I'm not easily impressed. This music is thrilling. Fortunately I have contemorary children who found your website for me. Maybe I'll show up at a concert someime.

Thanks. Be well, Michael

Thanks for the great tunes. They sound just as good hungover as they do when I'm drunk!! Your lyrics remind me that I'm not alone in the world. Peace.

hi, Melvern Taylor.
Nice to hear your music and your ukulele!
It's amazing!
First I heard your song - you and me (and my ukulele),that's just a very short one. then ,after searching , I like your - angle on my shoulder again! even though i can't find you and me and my ukulele, I have another song to enjoy myself. I was just wondering if I could have the lyrics of angel on my shoulder. You know ,it's really hard to find sth about you and your songs. I don't know why people can't find your songs are so great.
But any way, I have a favorite singer and his songs now!

Thanks any way!
Regards,
Jason

Jenn Fargo

My 5 year old son, Caspian Costello, thinks you guys are amazing, loved the autographed CD case we brought him. Wants his own ukelele, piano, bass, guitar, & band. wondering if you are doing any oudoors show this spring & summer. We really would love to bring him.

I just stumbled upon your cd "the spider and the barfly".It's a refreshing mixtur of distilled pop essence topped with a little angst.I've enjoyed listening to it.It's one of those rare works that I've enjoyed from the start and have increased my enjoyment with repeated listenings.In a fairer world you would be famous.Thank you for the moments of pleasure that I find each time I listen.

Stephen and Marie

January 27, 2008

Congratulations on all your success!
Hope to see you guys at a show soon. We love to play your music while sitting at our pool. Wishing you and your family all the best!

Adam & Allison and Spencer helped turn us onto you guys, wish you were around portsmouth more often. Our kids, (2 & 5 ) know all the words to most of the songs on your album, and are asking for ukelele's....

Janette S.

December 27, 2007

You guys are awesome! And Melvern, wow man, i love ur songs. I ended up falling in love with your music because of "Sad & Blue"...that falsetto is just heartbreaking. THough in a good way. If that makes sense.

ANyways...it's great to know that yet another great band comes from Massachusetts!

Diana

December 16, 2007

I like the website. I hadn't popped by here before. I am looking forward to the new album! It sounds like you are finally getting some recognition. I haven't been out to see you play in a few years. I am hoping to drag my sorry tired ass out to Toad this weekend.

Jesse

October 20, 2007

Hey Melvern. I brought my mom and aunt to see you at the Worthen a while back when I was up there for a visit. My friends and I here in Austin can't get enough of Fabuloso and would love to see you if you ever roll though town. There are even accomodations available without hooker blood stains.

I was just learning "It's Not My Fault" on guitar and thought I'd look for some lyrics online. I'm glad I did since I now know about your new album and contract. Any chance your earlier releases will be available?

Regards,
Jesse

Word on the street is that you guys are gonna be putting out a new record soon. We can't wait! It's been too long. When are you coming back north?

Liz

September 4, 2007

Loved, loved, loved you at Club Helsinki. Every note was perfect. Thanks for playing "beer cans"
Brought two friends to hear you for the first time...they're true believers now.
you'll be super famous one day..don't forget the little people who came to see you when you were playing the small clubs:)
Looking forward to the next cd!

Nick! Listening to you play this morning in the yoga room was an amazing experience- I then blasted fabuloso on the house stereo when you guys left- and will be at Helsinki in september without a doubt-
You rock! and I will be honored to know you when you are a famous from your talent and gifts!!! love dena

Gia Greene

July 26, 2007

Hey, it's Gia! I just wanted to wish the band the best of luck at the Lowell Folk Festival on Saturday. It's too bad that I couldn't be there with you all, but I know you'll still rock the house! I'll be thinking of you guys!

Carpe Diem,
-Gia ^_^

Michelle Lento

July 24, 2007

Hi Nick! How fantastic that I chose today to google you and I find this wonderful news about your being signed to this record label. I wish you the best! I also wish you played nearer to Boston, I only saw you live once in Kendal (at the Kendal Cafe I believe?) with my husband, your former co-worker Robert. I know all the words to all the songs on Fabuloso, Handsome Bastard, and The Spider and the Barfly. Ok, that sounds maybe crazy stalker girl-ish but I'm quite normal and just a huge fan. Your music is on my iPod and sometimes I just set it to your albums and if I have it on shuffle I'm always pleasently surprised when one of yours comes on. I'm a lover of Motown, Blues/Jazz and the Beatles so you are in good company there:). Anyway, again, best wishes and I hope to be able to see you play live agian someday! Take care, Michelle

Hey Melvern,
My wife and I saw you and Bob perform at Stipers Saturday night. We were sitting right in front of you. I was the good looking guy in the straw hat who gave you some cash for a couple o' brews.
Please include me on any mailings as to where I can see you guys play out. My wife and I live on the Mass/NH border and would love to take in a night of your delightful music sometime. I'd love to hear the whole band as well.
Later,
Barry

Glad I ran across your music while compilating some pics on Photobucket. You remind me a lil of Nilsson so I had to order your CD.

Harry

A friend introduced your sound to me back in the fall. I heard you yesterday on WNCW (radio station). Glad you made it down to us.
Love what you stand for and what you do.

March 9, 2007

NC resident who heard you on my local station yesterday. You blew me away. Bought "Fabuloso" from itunes this morning. Sure wish you were playing in the Carolines. Ever play the Shakori Hills Music Festival or anywhere in Asheville?

Thanks and Keep it up!

Aunt Kathie and Uncle Kerry

March 6, 2007

Happy Birthday to our favorite godson!!!
Looking forward to celebrating our birthday's together again in sunny Carolina this weekend!!! So happy you are down South for awhile!!
Keep up the great music! We are so very proud of you as usual.
With lots of love from us always!

Anna

February 27, 2007

Yeah! Thrilled to hear are doing a NYC gig - it will be great to see a live performance. I will start spreading the word.

john

February 25, 2007

hey love fabuloso, the best song by far that I've hear in awhile on any cd is 'working stiff'. Pretty much sums it all up in that song. I currently have it on repeat. Great to listen to. Keep up the good work.

Chris

February 24, 2007

...when I heard "sad and blue" on the radio, I thought it was some obscure R&B that I might have heard on The Big Lebowski soundtrack...I hope you take that as the tremendous compliment that I intend it to be!

John Hattan

February 20, 2007

I heard you on Acoustic Cafe and look forward to seeing your show sometime. That the Jon Nolan, Cliff Murphy and Slaid Cleaves sing your praises doesn't hurt either.

Laraine Orfanedes Durham

February 20, 2007

Hey! I listen to your songs on my Ipod at work! Hope to see you when you come south!

i heard Sad and Blue on the radio and loved it. are you
heading to the western carolina mountains any time soon?
if so, when?
thanks a bunch.

Anna

February 7, 2007

Received the CD - love it! Now I don't have to click through the website to hear your music - which is best not to do at work. If you ever play NY - we'll get a group together to see you!

Thanks again for the great music.

sims Delaney-Potthoff

February 7, 2007

man have i fallen in love woth your tune working stiff -- heard it on a slaid cleaves cd - way to go - are the yrics printed any where or do i need to write? got the chords. mind if we play it?

Jes

February 5, 2007

You are fabulous!! you should come to Club Helsinki in Gt Barrington Mass!!!!!!

Cuzin' Isaac

February 1, 2007

I should request one of your CDs to play on my radio show here in Vermont

Anna

January 26, 2007

Back in October my friend in Boston emailed me a link to your site and I confess I didn't open it until today, however, since I did I have been listening to your music tracks at work all day long. I finally had to order the CD on line - which is something I don't ordinary do. Thanks for filling my day with your wonderful voice and music - I look forward to hearing more great songs from the CD!

Do you ever play NYC gigs?

Melvern

January 17, 2007

Thanks for the comment Dick! You forgot to leave your e-mail address so I don't know where to send the "Sleepy Eyes" lyrics to.

Dick

January 17, 2007

Heard your song "Sleepy Eyes" on UKULELENOIR. I play stride piano and my buddy plays a uke. We have fun playing songs most people have may not heard. Most songs we do are prior to 1930 and "Sleepy Eyes" fits in with the style of the era.

I would like to get the lyrics if possible. By listening to the song, some words could not be clearly identified so maybe you could help me.

Robert Williams

January 16, 2007

Sad and Blue is absolutley beautiful- where can I get the CD?
And when will you becoming to Chalotte, NC? We have a great little music scene here.

Thanks for the music-

If there isn't a CD can you make Sad and Blue downloadable? Would love to have a copy.....

Hello,
I saw you and the band at the Ukulele Noir at the Sky Bar over the weekend. You guys were excellent! I was there to see Tim Mann and hope to catch your band again. Keep up the good work - very entertaining!

Elizabeth Adler Tevlin

December 16, 2006

I always enjoy your music...Even though I don't make it to the shows I think I am still "the number one fan"...have I said so before?
Your new website is nice, but when it's late at night it's kinda hard to navigate (on account of not knowing what all those letters and numbers mean).
Please tell David I said hello.
Keep up the good work. Am listening to "the Spider and the Barfly" right now. And don't tell anyone....but I have a bunch of mudfoot stuff too...and possibly some home recordings too....what the #%@!?? I guess I'm the laziest groupy ever! Look up homebody in the dictionary.

Amanda

December 15, 2006

Hey!
I heard your song "angel on my shoulder" on WERS. Is that about the Worthen House in Lowell MA? I read that you grew up in Andover so I thought might be. Well anyways you guys sound great. Cant wait to hear more of your work. Peace.
Amanda =)

Great site! Hope all is well my friend.

Paul British

Caught you playing at the Toad on Dec 3rd whilst on visit.
You were damn good - great live presence!
Back now in good old Blighty, your CD of Honalulu Swing Pop will cheer those drives to work now holiday is over.

Keep it up!

Jenn

December 4, 2006

I caught you on Nov. 28th at the Urban Village Art Series, and wow...I was blown away. Amazing music...I'm buying Fabuloso for everyone I know for the holidays, well...until I can find some way to sell non-vital organs on the black market or my collection of old term papers (I'm a poor, very poor college student who needs funds), but either way your cd is on my Christmas list. But, anyways...great stuff and I'll catch one of your gigs soon.
Peace and Love.

I saw you in NYC with Slaid Cleaves and enjoyed your set. I thought you mentioned a new album at the time. Is one coming out? I have Fabuloso and it's great. It's getting me back into the uke. They are like candy. I have 8, all sizes.

emily

October 24, 2006

Crap! I was just in Portland last weekend! Can't make it this weekend! Any chance that you will show up at the Me and The Coffee house on Mugford street in Marblehead sometime soon? Or any small town place in northen MA? How about that coffee house (I forget the name) in that White church in North Andover, familiar ground for you. I've been hearing alot about you and your music on WERS 88.9 FM, Emerson College's station. It is lovely and great and just Fabuloso! Keep it up!

it means admired praise..... go figure.

October 21, 2006

"Thank you! Have you lost weight??? "

Hey-heard you this morning on ERS, you sounded great, you stay at home dad you! Although hearing working stiff and your explanation of it made we want to turn around and go back to bed instead of to my cube, it made the ride to work much more pleasant on a crappy friday morning. hope all is well with you. I'm hoping to make it to Toad some sunday night.
Take care

some chick you drink with at the worthen...

October 12, 2006

you guys are something else, i tell ya. keep up the great work! can't wait to see another show!

October 10, 2006

I was intrigued by Working Stiff on Unsung, and now discover that you write and sing a bunch of good songs. I'll buy your cd when payday rolls around. I like the cheer of the ukulele with the melancholy of the words.

Tara

Matt

October 5, 2006

i haven't stopped listening to Fabuloso for a solid week and a half....and i don't even like music......i've also been covering "sad and blue" at my shows, and although i'm mostly butchering it, someone e-mailed that they had bought your cd online after hearing me do it....so who knows what'll happen when i finally nail it.....

Holy CrAp! You make wonderful music! Thanks for doing what you do; it sure does help to get me through the rainy early-autumn blech that these Ohio climes offer.

Cheers, Micah

September 14, 2006

Aloha. Saw you at the Lowell Folk Festival, in front of the vegie restaurant. I was part of the Dracut crowd that heckled you: "My brother is from Dracut!" I'm playing "It's Not My Fault" at the moment, so yes, I did purchase FABULOSO (and it is!).

Your music would be really welcomed on local radio, given the ukulele and falsetto adjuncts to light but slightly melancholy music. I travel to Lowell twice a year to stay with my mom, whose 86 and still living on her own, in Dracut, so I look forward to catching your gig when I'm there at Christmas.

Stacey

September 6, 2006

Hey Melvern and Gang,

My husband saw you playing at our friend's wedding in Mass a couple of weeks ago. He bought your cd brought it home, and there began our addiction to your music. It is like CRACK!!! It is so awesome! It has been awhile since I have heard an album that made me say: "this song is my favorite, no that one is, and that one too..." Thanks for the great music!

I fear that if you don't come to Denver and play a show soon we will may have a withdrawl problem on our hands...

Anxiously Awaiting your next album,

Stacey

Hi Melvern, Dave, Bob and John!

Just wanted to thank you all so much for letting me play with you at the Lowell Folk Festival. It was a wonderful experience and quite a memorable day for me! Thanks again to each one of you for your kindness and for giving me such a great opportunity. I hope to be able to work with you again, sometime!

Best to everyone,
Gia
p.s. have been listening to your new CD...it sounds great!

August 14, 2006

Your music makes me want to pee. In a good way. Please play another gig very soon. My wife and I will travel anywhere within the greater Boston metropolis (from Providence to Worcester to Portsmouth). Heck, we'll even go to Maine. Not Vermont though. Unless it's on a Saturday night and we're not doing anything else. We'd have to get a hotel though. Could we stay with you? Okay, next time you play Vermont we'll get a hotel together. Done and done. No funny stuff though. Unless the show is really, really good. Then we can compare nipples.

Cristofski

August 8, 2006

Melvern, I just wanted to make sure that you knew that you are Fabuloso!!

Dana

August 1, 2006

Wow, I've heard sad & blue acouple of times driving thru the Carolina mountains. Almost went off the road. Can't wait to hear more. good luck

Matt

July 17, 2006

Came across Fabuloso and loving it. Be waiting for you here in Texas....SlaidMelvern at Gruene Hall...if only.

Cathy

July 13, 2006

I am amazed at your talent - saw you at Prescott Park in Portsmouth and love the sound with the ukulele!!! (also the new look). In looking for your old music I noticed some had the clever lyrics and underlying sound, but the addition of the ukulele makes you unique and wonderful. Rooting for you to get the recognition your talents deserve and hope to catch another show. Cathy

lindsay shay

July 7, 2006

hey guys, i just wanted to say hi and i love your music :o) keep up the great work!! do you think you could play "the sad and ugly truth" for me? i love that song!

Hey Melvern!!!!

I'm playing sleepy eyes for the Lobby tunes at The Center for Arts in Natick,

and it's makin' me have weepy eyes,

And not with those other ukies! We want all Meltones, all the night!!!!

Love 'Sleepy Eyes', listened to it on the ukulele noir website. Wish you all would come to Nashville, TN sometime.

Chris Brown

March 31, 2006

Spencer Albee has been talking about you for a while. After last night, I know how great you are. Can't wait for this new CD. By the way, a CD store I know in Portsmouth has a used copy of Spider & Barfly. Is that your album?

Let me know,

Thanks!

Martin Pierre LaPierre

March 14, 2006

Hi,
I was at the ukulele noir last friday when I heard you and your band.
I bought a record ans so did my friend Claude. Since then I not only listen to it often, my 15 yrs old daughter fell in love with your music as well...However I'm writing to you to make a request, Can I sing one of your song on my next show? It's the song: It's not my fault ( I think...cause my daughter left this morning with the cd in her walkman....)
If it's possible to get the lyrics and may be the chords...?
I'll sing it with my ukulele....
It's funny because I didn't notice that my friend wrote to you just before me...

Thank you in advance.

Martin P
