MtH #5 Sorry? No chance.

Hi everyone Two things to start with. You were expecting some posts about the four show swing through Ontario. Not to trivialize what we do, but there was nothing really worth reporting that would interest most of you (with a couple of exceptions, I’ll get to those). I’m not turning this into Facebook……… eg: Got…

MtH Weekly #4 Foo Say

Mike the Heff Weekly #4  Hi everyone. Welcome to the fourth weekly report. I’m starting to get some  good feedback  even though you don’t see many posted comments. People are preferring to use email.

MtH weekly #2 Dating Destiny

Rock Our Worlds

I started with the idea that popular music isn’t static. As a genre it’s continually in flux, influenced by changes in culture, politics, technology, fashion, war, climate etc. Sometimes certain events or songs are “watershed” moments and it would be cool to get some input as to what those moments are or were.
