Fellow Musicians: A most revered list
This chapter is not really a chapter at all, but rather a list of the people
I can remember that I have played with at one time or another. So, I'm sure
I will leave out a couple of dozen, and if you ever played music with me and
want to be listed, e-mail me at David Melton.
Just a quick note about the colors, if the name is red,
I have had e-mail or phone contact recently. If it is blue,
I have played with them in the past year or so. If purple,
they are now playing in an other-worldly band… I hope. Here goes…

I know I've forgotten a lot of musicians. I can't remember most of the names
of members of Startown Band (formerly Comin' Up Country), nor of the guitarist
and drummer from John David Coe's band. I can't remember the names of the
members of The Mad Czech's band either. Nor can I remember some last names
or first names. Perhaps it will come to me some day.
At any rate, I have the utmost respect for all who pursue this line of both
work and enjoyment. It has rewards that can never be expressed.
