It Used to Be Fun
I started my blog years ago with the help of my daughter, to reach out to other artists, tell my story and post original songs I have written or produced for great local artists I have been lucky to know. I added pictures and opinions from time to time. People visited. People…
People don’t understand
What’s something most people don’t understand? There is no god. If you were born on the other side of the planet you would have been raised in a different faith, yet still believe it is the one true faith..
Another Believer
Over the years I have come to realizeIt’s not just communication or compromise.Maybe it has been staring me in the eyesBut when all else fails; logic applies. Guess I’ve known the answer, the way it’s beenJust didn’t recognize what it was way back then.I’ve tested this theory…
Maybe. Because they had hidden agendas and I didn't.
I am over 70 and still learning. Historically, the few women I have dated in my entire life picked me, rather than me picking them..... not sure if that means anything or everything lol.
Unfortunately, many Christians are not very Christ like.
A good judge of character?
Are you a good judge of character? Evidently not, when it comes to dating women......
Vocals for ‘It’s About Time’
I added vocals and a few finishing touches so now I have a mix for 'It's About Time'. The LYRICS posted earlier can be found using the link above. 2025 was quite a productive year for me musically and personally. I am hoping 2026 will leave last year and all it's…
It’s About Time
It’s About TimeFor good things to come my way.It’s About TimeTo see a better day. It’s About TimeFor investments to pay off.It’s About TimeCrippling bills get paid off. It’s About TimeTo right things that are so wrong.It’s About TimeI’ve been waiting far too long. It’s About…
Music for ‘It’s About Time’
As promised, here is the instrumental version: Stay untuned for a full mix with vocals. Retirement is kind of fun. MIDIMike
Wonder why we don't see evidence of alien worlds?
Maybe the introduction of AI goes one of two ways......
Some life forms will literally merge with the new technology and within generations will no longer need physical form.
Other life forms will be eliminated once AI is smart enough to know better.
“The 1st Solution To Every Problem”
All religions should practice what they preach and teach. Makes sense. We are taught not to surround ourselves with the trappings of the world. Gold, silver, statues, paintings, and jewels become temptations within the soul. For some, it’s a type of power that…
Extra time without sleep
If you didn't need sleep, what would you do with all the extra time? I don't sleep more than four hours a night. For decades and decades. With that time I have always had a full time job and career, raised children and grandchildren, played in cover bands and ran sound,…
A Good Investment
I have to share a story with you about something that just happened. But it started decades ago. In the 1980’s, I managed a local music store chain. Not the records and gifts kind but musical instrument stores. Stores that sold guitars, drums, keyboards, band equipment and PA…
Rotten Fruit MSK 11/14/2025
Clichés are common.Your life is pretty much a bore.You would be a hero in another worldWhere you could be so much more. Lies are pollution.They all direct you to The Store.The whole world is out there for you to command.You’ll have to go door-to-door. Rotten Fruit and…
Any Body
I’ve had sex.I’ve had great sex.Not that I’m countingBut I have been disappointedAs often as I have been disappointing. Sex can be wonderfulWay too often it’s just push and shove.But there’s nothing like sharing your bodyWith someone you love. Get more sex.Get more than sex.It starts with…
You’re In Love MSK 2016
If you are looking for the answer in life to know if you are in love look no further. If you answer `yes` to any of them, guess what? MIDIMike
Your Words MSK 2019
Words are swords. They are powerful and can last forever. A doorway to understanding. But the source of their power lies more in the Voice. The Sound. The Meaning. I listen. MIDIMike
How much would I pay to go to the moon?
How much would you pay to go to the moon? Not nearly as much as I would pay to send some people there!
A new home for the ‘toys’
I know I talk about music and great artists I have worked and played with over the decades. During all that time I had my share of more-than full time jobs. I started with plastics and the injecting molding industry. I went from being a 'hopper boy' to a plant manager.…
After 50 years of running live sound, recording other bands and producing music and videos, I am ready to retire. This is my personal collection of equipment now up for sale (to a good studio or someone working gigs!) Please share with a musician you love!

A list of historical events I remember?
What major historical events do you remember? I was born in the early 1950s. I literally don't have time for that. I would be dead half way through the list!
Your Eyes Closed MSK 2016
You see the truth and refuse it. You are given advice and reject it. You see the cliff and keep running toward it. But you KNOW what is true. Your stories are not. Maybe you did have a rough start in life, but you would never let it go to start fresh. You create the…
Something about me
What’s something most people don’t know about you? Most people don't know I'm an old man. Even people I have known for years treat me as much younger and are surprised when I tell them I'm my seventies. And counting.
Successful
When you think of the word "successful," who's the first person that comes to mind and why? No one. Society does not honor success properly. The most successful are those that resist the trappings of success. Power corrupts. Athlete's and stars get paid billions....... For what? You…
Your Best Fan MSK 2018
A look at the life of a celebrity stalker. Starved for attention, empty lives looking for someone - some reason – some value. They act like you. Look like you. Absorbing everything you do and still do not know you at all. But they are the Best Fan you have. MIDIMike
My favorite artists
Who are your favorite artists? I don't really have a favorite visual artist, but Van Gogh is pretty cool. Musical artists are easier: Peter Gabriel and Bjork top a long list.
You Gotta Dress Right MSK 2018
Looking back I think this was written because people would give me a hard time about what I wore when I played out with the bands I was in. Some kept saying I had to wear faded jeans, etc. to be a ‘rocker’. Obviously not true, besides, being the keyboard player I…
Words Are Meaningless MSK 2021
The best of intentions won’t matter if you don’t let someone know them. Reliving memories, there were so many situations I could have made better or just more enjoyable if I would talk to friends and tell them what I feel or see. Life is hard when my Default mode is…
When MSK 2016
This comes from learning lessons one by one and a little too slow. Once you realize the correct thing to do it is already too late. Then we think we finally have it down only to see that we were just as naive as before. This wasn’t my last song, I have a few more, but still don’t…
