I am so glad I found this site. What a great set up. Saw the song and film clip to Stronger on CMC last week and loved it. The song is destined to be another hit for you Melinda. I have loved all your songs since I first discovered your music back in 2002.
The only bad thing I have to say is WHY are you not coming to SA with your tour. I am very upset and so is my 7yr old daughter who adores everything about you.
I can only hope that you will one day take a trip to this state.
Congartulations Melinda on this new album (CD). I am really looking forward to buying it today and listening to all the songs.
Good luck with the tour and say hello to all those REAL PEOPLE out on the road.
hi melinda…i cant wate to see you at one or more of your concerts, i am goin to all of the ones i can lol. i just wanted to say how your music touches me, i went to your concert in revesby last year for my 14th birthday and you r such a good singer! it blew me away because most singers cant sing in person, but you are like wow what a voice! i love your song real people and i am learning it on the guitar, i wish i could meet some real people. good luck with everything.

love nikki
You have come along way since the School Days of St Patricks Primary and St Josephs Girls High. I remember that young girl yodelling with her Mum and into fashion during high school. You have done so well in the Country Music Industry, your songs are amazing esp Sgt Bean, being dedicated to your late father. I wish you all the best in your career. I look forward to one day being able to attend one of your concerts with my daughter so she can see what amazing singer you are.
Hi Melinda
in 2003 we have visited sydney and ouer friends(tina & rick) have us taken to the basemant for a concert from you. Thats the time we are
fans from SUPERWOMAN Melinda. We have all 3 CDs from you and we hope the new one becomes as good like the old one.
Website is first class , videos and songs.
Good luck for your tour, special the trip to france.
love it, love it, love it. Love how you can take us on your own private journey, share your emotions through song so deeply, that we can relate it ourselves, cry and embrace our own lives along with you.
I have got to admit after listening to ’stronger’ I had a good long look at my own relationship, and I thank you for all your courage.
I am looking so forward to seeing you tour. I will be there singing the loudest.
I also wish to thank you for everything you are doing for Breast cancer.
You are the greatest.
Goodluck in life
Brooke

Hi Melinda.
Met you at the Melbourne show.
Had a great time. Thanks for signing the Stronger album for me and the photo too. Loved your other ones but Stronger is the best yet.
Thanks heaps and heaps. Maybe one day you’ll have a look at some songs I penned.
God Bless, Take care see you again.
Cheers
Ray.
If the song below is a problem I appologise and am happy if you delete it.
Wait For Me On These Shores.
They both were young and both were sure their love was meant to be
They sealed their love with wedding vows to last eternally
Like all good men born of his time he soon marches off to war
He promised her “I will return, wait for me on these shores�.
Two long years and still no sign or word from her loving man
The nights are long, alone again how much more can she stand,
The times are hard and baby’s 2 she hasn’t seen her dad
Their love is strong and she goes on through all the good and bad.
The war is done he’s coming home, It’s been 3 lonely years
He holds her strong and hugs his child His eyes well up with tears
3 long lost years of war has shown its toll upon this man
The things he’s seen the mates he lost why no one understands,
The times are tough they do it hard, there’s not much work around,
He’s off to work the cold coal mines to tunnel underground
He says please wait I will return or send for you some day
And of he goes his bags are packed it takes her to that day
Together now and time is theirs apart never again
Their daughter off and married now their sons grown into men
He holds her hand just like he did Some 60 years ago
He brushed her cheek with aging hands a feeling she would know
He whispers softly to her “dear go on, for it’s alright�
She slowly turns and says to him “I think I see the light�
hey melinda! hows life been going lately? are you going to make a music book? hope all goes well in the future. im sure to see you next year sometime at a concert.
:) love nikki xx

Just like to wish you all the best in the future and hope that one day you make it up to Mt Isa at the end of the month. As I’m leaving my desk job in NSW and heading back outback QLD for contract mustering. I can tell you that you need to sleep in the 4000+ star room (outside under the stars in the outback) there is nothing else like it as it is absolutly amazing. I have been to 3 for your shows and have loved everyone. Hope to see you one day down the beaten track. Keep the amazing music and performances coming, take care and may the sun rays always fall upon your home.
Best Wishes
Sarah xX
PS next year I believe you’ll have more golden guitars added to you collection.
Hey Melinda,
Its great to hear so many good things about your touring and concerts. Im still loving Stronger. I can really relate to some of the songs you sing about. What I am still waiting for is your touring dates to SA. I am yet to see you perform live and hope that you might fulfill my wish and come to SA for a concert. This countrygal is really hanging out for a country concert.
I will be waiting and hoping. Stay well and all the best with the rest of your touring.
Cheers
Jo
ok, so it’s getting towards 1 AM… and i’m shot right now. but i thought i’d leave you a note… I don’t really listen to country, i have funky nassau on my mp3 player and liked the song “some people change” by montgomery gentry, but that’s about it.
until i saw the show of you at the basement, after lateline tonight [ arg, stupid TEE economics. it’s driving me insane!! ] and i couldn’t get away!!! i loved it! i may sound groupie like, but i’m amazed at how enjoyable i found your music… gosh, this language from a 16 year old… ok,
ROCK ON Y’ALL!
ish? lol
yeah, well, keep up the good work, you’re doing me proud =]
Thankyou Melinda for a great night in Young. I took my Dad to see you as he is a huge fan. He is recovering from two strokes in the past 3 months. Going to see you was a great inspiration for him to get back on his feet. He loves country music and used to play at the retirement villages in his area of Wellington and Dubbo. It was a real roller coaster of emotions you took us on as we lost my Mum a few years back and we felt your song ‘dream him home’ we could relate to all of your songs really. ‘The Flood’ were excellent I could see them again and again. Once again thank you all for helping me make great memories with my Dad. Luv Lee
Its been a long time since i last sent you a message. I think the last time was whenyou were in Nashvile and i was trying to get a copy of Men In Trucks clip that i was in. If i remember right it was about this time last year you made the clip, and waht a blast that night was to be an extra. Anyway ive been outback working on many properties its unreal the things and beautiful things you get to see out here, ive fallen in love with the sun rise/sets out here the colours are breath taking.
hope you are well and by the sounds of it youve been flat out. We dont have any radio out here so my ipod has been going flat out with all your songs on repeat, i love the album stronger its awesome and i havent got sick of it yet although i have been listening to it since i came outback in march this year. Cant waith for your new album!!
Hope to see you at Tamworth in 08. thats when i plann to have a break. Hope everything you wish for comes true.
Take care and thankyou for the music you make it makes me a better person.

Thankyou Melinda for a great night in Young. I took my Dad to see you as he is a huge fan. He is recovering from two strokes in the past 3 months. Going to see you was a great inspiration for him to get back on his feet. He loves country music and used to play at the retirement villages in his area of Wellington and Dubbo.

Anyway ive been outback working on many properties its unreal the things and beautiful things you get to see out here, ive fallen in love with the sun rise/sets out here the colours are breath taking.
hope you are well and by the sounds of it youve been flat out. We dont have any radio out here so my ipod has been going flat out with all your songs on repeat, i love the album stronger its awesome and i havent got sick of it yet although i have been listening to it since i came outback in march this year. Cant waith for your new album!!

We walked a bit of the great wall and i must say you are absolutely amazing! it was such hard work and we thought we would never get to the top so i think what you have done is great, i understand how hard it was. Thank you for being a great inspiration both in music and life.
