I hadn't Winslow, but your observations seem right on. I'd love to be  proven 
wrong, actually...since the voice and chromatic playing are just SO  good...a 
couple of the songs so top-notch it's a wonder they weren't huge  
hits...which makes me wonder if they weren't already (with perhaps slightly  different 
lyrics and maybe someone else's name attached?   ;)
 
A fun mystery indeed....(I do like your 'on da money' name),  <G>
 
..and in regards to Rick Dempster's comments about Steve Merola, I agree  
completely. I LOVE Steve's playing...anyone here who hasn't yet should do  
themselves a favour and check out his very emotive harmonica on  his Myspace page.

Has anyone gone to  Google maps and examined an aerial closeup of tiny, 
remote, god-forsaken-looking  Mars, California? It appears to consists of a couple 
of above-ground storage  tanks (or are they large satellite dishes for, um, 
deep space radar telemetry?)  and a few administrative buildings. Not that such 
a place couldn't produce good  music or harmonica playing. But I think 
Elizabeth may be right that someone is  having us on. I have used similar (though 
less suggestive) joke names for  virtual musicians in the past (Onda Money, 
drums, that sort of  thing)

Passing' and  
the miss reincarnation  references....but chose not to comment on them.  I 
have 
my  suspicions....because of the Odub...very funny <G>

I see Steve Merola cites "Billy Lightcap" as one of his influences.  Indeed, 
listening to Steve and Billy, there is a striking likeness in their  playing, 
notwithstanding the clear Stevie W.  influence in both cases. I  like the 
playing of both these blokes.
