So sad to hear of Mel's passing. He was a real patriot,gentleman and good friend of ours when we lived in the USA. We had so many good times singing karaoke at various venues around town and back at his place later. He and DeeDee played at my surprise 50th birthday party, a real treat. Our condolences go out to Denise at this difficult time.
Deepest Sympathy from Shirley and Mick Taylor.
