Re: Shannon's Necklace (not his tatooed one) « Reply #5 on Feb 28, 2006, 5:17am » -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ouf, I found it...it just wouldn't leave me alone... It was in Blind Melon Trivial (Blind Melon is a Band) on the 3rd page, posted by sebbe. Re: Blind Melon Trivia! « Reply #34 on Jul 15, 2005, 1:56pm » Quote: Actually, Nel didn't make that necklace. Heres the story that Nel told me. I don't know what year it was but it was before their first album came out. Shannon was living in L.A. at the time. It was Christmas time and Nel sent him a Christmas package. She sent him a CD player/ boombox and in the package she included a necklace very much like the one we all know and love. A couple of weeks later Shannon phoned his mom to thank her for the gift. When she asked him if he liked the necklace, he asked "what necklace". She told him that she included a necklace in the package with the CD player. Apparently that necklace was lost in the box of foam peanuts. He didn't realize it was in there and already threw the box away. So Nel soon found a replacement and sent it to him. I'm not sure if she found it at a yard sale or what. But somewhere in a trash dump in L.A., underneath the trash of the rich and famous lay a necklace sent to Shannon from his mother. I love that story!

Barb posted the above story... I know there is a better way to cut and Paste, but I found it in the Shannon thread.
Good Story.

Thanks for the info. Great story! The melons I was sitting are newbies. I recruited one about 3 years ago and we just got his nephew into melon about 3 months ago.
