Sounds Like
Dylan and Lennon after a smoke,
Tom and Jerry (before they were Simon and Garfunkel)
mostly like a couple of bastards
"Bastard Sons of Bob Dylan," are two solo acoustic, singer-songwriter types named Terry Kelly and Mike Runion. Every now and a very blue moon or so . . . they can be found performing some very original and sometimes strange contemporary folk-rock (new wave folk) at a small cafe, music festival, benefit, or your local street corner. Together and as solo artists they've been featured on public and college radio stations; WMNF in Tampa, WPRK (Rollins College) Orlando, WFIT (Florida Tech) here in Melbourne, and WVFS in Tallahassee.
More often than not . . you can catch Mike performing (and playing his own brand of edgey folk) with the great Pam Jacobs and our pal Pete Wells at Pete's top notch "And All That Jazz Cafe" in Cocoa and occasionally at "Nature's Haven" (next to Murdock's) in Cocoa Village.

What has traditionally been known as the Star card is about reconnecting one's Soul with the Divine -- the transcending of personality, family, community and reputation. It has to do ultimately with the freedom to be one's Self. The Soul is responding to celestial influences -- forces that can provide the personality with a stronger sense of purpose. The Star card helps us to remember our exalted origins and our attraction to a Higher Union. This card could also be called the "Celestial Mandate" -- that which refers us back to our reason for being, our mission in this lifetime. The Star reminds us that, in a sense, we are agents of Divine Will in our day-to-day lives. If we let go of the idea that we are supposed to be in control, we can more easily notice and appreciate the synchronicities that are nudging us along. In this way, we become more conscious of the invisible Helping Hand, and we better understand our place within -- and value to -- the larger Cosmos.
