About Me:
Allow me to indulge in some shameless self-endorsement. Have a little listen, dispense a little feedback. My band and I can be heard at http://users.bigpond.net.au/streetspirit/mel.htm or thereabouts. Try maybe "Nights Unscathed" "Medallion" and "It Was Me"...then write to heap accolades on me.

oh, there is no way of knowing unless
we were to hang out! One day, love!
One day. Anyway...Mel, you're so
talented and beautiful and nice and
pishaw to all the people who don't
think so. They're just jealous of
your remarkable gift. Don't let it
get it to you head obviously, but then
again, don't always accept their
criticisms as constructive. Cheers.

great friend. esp when it comes to
cinnamon doughtnuts and chocolate
sticks (you're gorgeous, mel!)..and
