Mel - remind me where 'and then some' the name came from. We watched a movie at home the other night and Bruce Willis said it! Mind you, he forgot to say 'Mel'just before it.

Cheers

Carl,are you sure that wasnt Bruce Mel Willis.As Ritchie pointed out it is from Dave Godins Soul City Label.I remember buying a right track on the label in 1971(along with a Boogaloo Party)and over the years had all the Soul City sounds,even a black and white uk demo of The Valentinos.And also with a little bit of copying dave godins end pieces from his blues and soul articles,I just started to end all my things the same way.Boring I know,especially for a grown man,but its been over 20 odd years that Ive been doing it.MEL.

Mel - I know the feeling, but let's hope we don't ever "grow out of it". 20 odd years? Yes, most of my 35 years as a Soul-head have been pretty "odd" too!

Thanks Mel - just when Bruce Willis said it, I started to chuckle out loud. Strange to hear it...

Mel. Who told you you were a grown man. True you are a huge......fellow but grown up ???? Don't think so. Don't you change it either..If you ask nice I'll show you the Valentinos demo.
