Name: Mike
I thought I would do just a few songs that I have enjoyed over the years but its starting to become a reflective "well this is where I am at right now" sort of thing. Its cathartic and fun at the same time!.. As you might see on some of the videos, I can't take it all that seriously. You don't get to see the takes where I fall apart completely. Maybe at my time in life there is not much to lose...the one good thing about being 'over the hill' is that its down all the way..

As for life philosophy, I try to take things easy so that when any important stuff comes along it can be handled with grace and proportion.. chance favours the prepared mind. What more can I say.... plenty actually but I need to caught with a glass of wine in my hand, a warm summer breeze blowing in my face and convivial company,.. halycon days. What was it that Sandy Denny wrote.. "why should life be so serious" Take care.
City: Halifax UK
Hometown: Bridgnorth
Country: United Kingdom
Occupation: Child of the Universe
Schools: yes all three
Companies: Always like to be in good company
Interests and Hobbies: Like playing my guitar of course,(sad but true) like seeing new places and doing new things,(I actually also like doing old things, there is comfort in familuarity) like thinking about all things and having fun even through adversity (when it creeps up) and generally enjoying the drip feed of new perceptions and wisdom that added years brings to my soul. I spent fifty years growing up and now I am going to spend the next fifty growing down.
Movies and Shows: Don't see many films but I do remember 'What Dreams May Come' for some reason...
Music: Contemporary and traditional folk, Blues, Old Time, Anything acoustic.. in fact all things! I like sitting in music sessions. A small contribution and so much more returned...
Books: Zen Mind, Beginners Mind always comes to mind..and any book that tries to make sense of my human condition. Having said that, the best book is the one made up of the pages from your own life.
