Quantifying Qualities
There’s Gotta Be More To It Than That Nope. Not really. I never claimed that this issue was deep and insightful. It was just something I would think about late at night or during the wonderful hour or so after a long run. The perennial mystery of awareness and who or what it is that’s being aware. We…
Read MoreQuality and Quantity
Quality and Quantity When I was twelve years old a television show called Star Trek debuted on NBC and ran for three seasons producing seventy one episodes. Most of us are familiar with it.

MY BOOK by MIKEY Hi everyone. I’ve been home for a week now and I have been amazingly unproductive. Family, friends and associates that I deal with on a regular basis know the pattern. For those who don’t, I go through a process that others who are in stressful occupations call decompression. I…

The Crest Theatre Sacramento Monday March 4 2019 Amazing. Ya gotta love it. Three and a half months since our last show and with no rehearsal, we played a pretty damned good concert.

Hey Everyone! The 2019 tour starts today We arrived in Sacramento yesterday. Our first show is tonight at the Crest Theatre. If it’s not a train wreck there will be a review. I’m going to try to keep a mental list of how many times during a song I’ll be thinking “what chord is next?” Or “oh…
