“I Rehearse Going For The Bus” – Mick’s Hurrah’s Memories
Listening in to Mick MacNeil’s show on Thursday night on Indy Live, I loved hearing him talk about SM’s gig in New York at Hurrah’s – so much so that I took this audio snippet out of it to share here. Of course, you can listen in to Mick’s show on Thursday evenings at…

And in the overtly hopeful notion that Jim and Charlie (and quite possibly even Mick MacNeil – for the first show, at least)…
10 Years Ago – No Regrets?
Well, you’re not meant to have any regrets in life. And of course, I did try to get “into” SM fully in 2006…but here I am in 2009 professing my love for OUAT and well, if only I tried building on that again. I’d have been around for the release of Graffiti Soul and Lostboy!…
Drumming Lesson One – The First Of Many
