Sad news reported in the forums of Earl Nelson passing on
Famous in the mainstream world for being one half of the Bob and Earl, but just as well known in other circles for his many recordings under various akas. Jackie Lee could be said to be the most famous but also recorded as Earl Cosby and Jay Dee. Which along with his proflic output in the 50s in various groups such as The Hollywood Flames does leave a rich legacy
There are quite a few articles about his recording history
The News/Articles section has been a victim of not enough hours in day. Hopefully full on service be back next week, untill then just a quick few shouts.

It's 1950 and it's a make or break weekend for Tyrone Purvis (Danny Glover), the proprietor of the Honeydripper Lounge.

Back in February, one of the featured news items on Soul Source concerned itself with a very critical view of Bolton Octagon plans to stage a reworked version of the "Once Upon A Time" this summer
In the news article posted Soul Source member Paul Sadot (who devised the actual play in its original format) gave his strong views on the reworking, which included points such as...

Been up for almost a year old but thought its still worthy of a pass on. Its a sort of travelogue both through time and the Crenshaw District area of LA .

Was a bit of chaos over the last couple of weeks on here regarding refosoul and the site search.
Changes in the background meant that had to rewrite from scratch some of the custom parts of site. This did take a lot longer than first thought and as it was a 'live' upgrade some of the features went walk about for a while
Hopefully the back is broken now and though a few minor things still need sorting, the main features are all now back up and fighting.
