Little Willie & the All Stars

This was one of my favorite Cleveland groups from the early 1980's. In the band were Willie Moore, Michael Dee, Roy Pekoc, Mark Pekoc and "Perfesser" Dan Mahoney. They played throughout the Greater Cleveland area, but Andy's on Buckeye Road was the best place to see them. I always remember Willie sipping VSQ brandy during breaks at Andy's, walking around chatting up the girls. This ad is from the Call & Post, September 12, 1981.
