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.

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.

And when will you becoming to Chalotte, NC? We have a great little music scene here.
Thanks for the music-

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

Best to everyone,

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.

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

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,
wishin' I could get The Meltones to cheer my rainy spring blues away, by playin' in Cambridge.
And not with those other ukies! We want all Meltones, all the night!!!!

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?

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.

My lovely bride really needs some new Melvern Taylor music to put in her cd player as do i. I'm getting tired of listening to old copies of the purple helmet cd. Hope all is well.

Hey!
I am planning to come down to Sangrias and I was hoping you can play Jonatha. Hopefully you will have the kazoo with you to!! Love that part! :)
See you soon!

Hey Melvern,
When are you and Thunderpants Johnson going to play a show again? I for one am really hoping that day comes soon!! It's been way too long!!!
p.s. Ever think about adding a breakdancing squad to the Meltones? It will be kind of like Public Enemy's security of the first world only they can do the windmill.

Good show Friday at the Old Court. That was the first time I heard you with a full band and it was awesome. Really enjoyed the originality. Keep doing your thing.

Hey Emmaley,
you can check out the calendar section of the website for show info. We sometimes do 18+ shows. Who was this guy who lived in your mother's house and had a box full of "handsome bastards"?? Must have been Frankie.

i like all of the songs from "handsome bastard." My aunt was renting a house to this guy, & he left a big box of all handsome bastard. I took one and didn't know what to expect, & now i can't stop listening to it. I'm young, how can i get into some shows?!

Melverne,
It was a pleasure meeting you and the band at the Uke Noir show. I was bowled over by the sound and the songs--they're still swirling around my head! Can't wait for the next opportunity to hear you! Hope to get you guys down to Providence sometime soon.
Peace!
