I loved his music

I met Mel McDaniel and his wife Peggy in Nashville at the Grand Ole Opry in 2006. Both of them were great, down to earth people. I miss them.

Mel and I dated in high school and I got to sit at the girlfriend´s table at the gigs they played. He was more like the blonde Elvis at the time but found his country niche soon. The next time I saw him after his career took off was at Mel McDaniel Day in Okmulgee Ok. We hung out after and got a tour of his new tour bus.
