  • Bio

    ....Mo Shaw (aka Michael Gottschall) has come a long way, literally, since his first gigs as a teenage Austin blues guitarist. At 17, he left home to ride the rails across America, 12-string in hand, exploring the land Woody Guthrie said was made for you and me. Mo then took Bob Marley’s advice to “travel wide”, making his way through Europe, Asia, Africa, and Australia, before settling for a spell in Jamaica. The images, the sounds, the people, and the experiences are evident in his music. Mo leads his audiences on a journey nearly as broad as his own: sublime acoustic work, humorous lilts, adrenaline-pumping rock, even the occasional Spanish serenade. ....Mo's lead guitar can be heard with ..the Texcentrics.., featuring singer-songwriter Sumner Erickson (youngest bro of Roky of the "13th Floor Elevators") as well as his work with other artists...

    "I'm not concerned about the very poor."

    "Corporations are people."

    "My job is not to worry about those people.  I’ll never
    convince them they should take personal responsibility
    and care for their lives."

    ~ Mitt Romney

    IF A FREE SOCIETY CANNOT HELP THE MANY WHO ARE

    POOR, IT CANNOT SAVE THE FEW WHO ARE RICH!

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT HUMOR ...

    "Through HUMOR, you can soften some of the

    worst blows that life delivers. And once you find

    LAUGHTER, no matter how PAINFUL your situation

    might be, you can SURVIVE IT.”

    ~ Bill Cosby

    HUMOR IS MANKIND'S GREATEST BLESSING!

    Ask Yourself - Have You Been KIND TODAY Mo?
     

    I AM RECORDING A NEW ALBUM THIS MONTH - WATCH FOR IT @ www.RichardHarrisLive.com

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT KINDNESS ...

    One Million Acts Of Kindness is a goal. A goal for each person to individually perform One Million Acts Of Kindness in their lifetime. Can you imagine a greater goal for one's life?

    Most of us think that changing the world is impossible. The world is too big…too many people in it…too many problems to solve. Do you often feel this way? While it’s understandable, be assured that it is not true!

    NO ACT OF KINDNESS ~ HOWEVER SMALL IS EVER
    WASTED!  HOW MANY LIVES CAN WE CHANGE IF WE
    PRACTICE KINDNESS EVERY DAY?

    With LOVE, RESPECT, and PEACE my friend,

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT THE BABY BIKER ...

    "OK Dude ... you've got 32 teeth - you wanna try for none?

    I know what you're thinkin' dude - I may be small but I'm

    TOUGH.  I'm a lot tougher than I look, and I've got

    something for ya!"

    IT'S NOT THE SIZE OF THE DOG IN THE FIGHT ~ IT'S

    THE SIZE OF THE FIGHT IN THE DOG!

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT POTENTIAL ...

    "The AVERAGE PERSON works at 50%

    or LESS of their POTENTIAL.  Your job is to

    UNLEASH that EXTRA 50%."

    ~ Brian Tracy

    LUCK IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN PREPARATION

    MEETS OPPORTUNITY!  BE THE BEST YOU CAN BE!

    Just Be YOU Mo!
     

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT BEING YOURSELF ...

    “About all you can do in life is BE WHO YOU ARE.

    Some people will LOVE YOU FOR YOU.

    Most will love you for WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR THEM,

    and some WON'T LIKE YOU AT ALL.”

    ~ Rita Mae Brown

    ALWAYS BE A FIRST RATE VERSION OF YOURSELF

    INSTEAD OF A SECOND RATE VERSION OF WHAT

    SOMEONE ELSE WANTS YOU TO BE!

    With LOVE, RESPECT, and PEACE my friend,

    Sending FRIDAY LOVE and LAUGHS Mo!
     
    A Lawyer in a Mousetrap  - They Left $$Cash$$ as Bait

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT LAWYERS ...

    How do you get a lawyer down from a tree?  Easy - just cut the rope."

    "It was so cold last week that I saw a couple of lawyers with their hands in their OWN pockets."

    "How was copper wire invented?  Two lawyers got hold of a penny at the same time."

    "How many lawyers does it take to screw in a lightbulb?  How many can you afford?"

    "The two partners in a law firm were having lunch when suddenly one of them jumped up and said, "I have to go back to the office - I forgot to lock the safe!" The other partner replied, "What are you worried about? WE'RE BOTH HERE."

    "How does a lawyer go to sleep at night?  Easy - first he LIES on one side, then he LIES on the other."

    LAUGHTER IS THE SPICE OF LIFE!

    With LOVE, RESPECT, and PEACE my friend,

    Be STRONG Mo!

     

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT STRENGTH ...

    "BE STRONG.

    Live HONORABLY and with DIGNITY.

    When you don't think you can, HOLD ON.”

    ~ James Frey

    ANYONE CAN GIVE UP, IT'S THE EASIEST THING IN

    THE WORLD TO DO.  BUT TO HOLD  IT TOGETHER

    WHEN EVERYONE ELSE WOULD UNDERSTAND IF

    YOU FELL APART ~ THAT'S TRUE STRENGTH!
