Band MembersMike Stephens
Guitar, vocals, sleigh bells, songwriter, elevator shoes

InfluencesBob Dylan. Leonard Cohen. Leon Redbone. John Prine. Paul Simon. The Doors. Tori Amos. Woody Guthrie. Certain people I met in my hobo days. And I would be remiss if I didn't include Nicole's stomach when she was 17. I don't know how that stomach is doing these days, but it was a legend back in the day. Man, could that stomach sing!
Sounds LikeWhat kind of question is that? The sound of one hand clapping maybe? Or a whiskey-soaked tissue hitting a dirt floor in a cabin that once belonged to Charles Bukowski? I dunno. Let me go stand in front of the mirror and listen to myself for awhile and I'll get back with you.


Buy a great CD and help out a good charity.

Why do you need a new liver, my friend? I was going to stop by anyway and ask how you're doing, but judging by what your status update says, it doesn't sound like all's well...?

You know, I just deleted several "comments" from this page where people I barely know had posted news of their upcoming gigs and album releases. You folks know who you are. From now on, quit using my MySpace page as a billboard. It's rude, self-serving and henceforth a big waste of your time as I will be deleting these "comments" as soon as you post them - unless, of course, you really are a friend of mine, in which case, feel free.

Hey, here's an idea. If you have something to promote, rent a billboard.

Last night was really fun, Mike.
Thank you for the opportunity, the cozy environment, the barely pop, and the welcoming aura that you transmit and share with everyone :]
Hope this week is a stress-free, or at least low stress, and inspirational.
See you Saturday at the radio station.

Hi Mike,
Great to see you last night. You, Bobby, and MJ sound wonderful. It was one of your best performances. I wish I could catch your show in Frankenmuth, but I am out of town. Loved the new look too. Take care and be kind to squirrels.

Hidden Parts.

ROBERT BLY.



There is a boy in you

About three years old

Who hasn't learnt a

thing for 30,000 years
Sometimes it's a girl

This child had to make up its mind
How to save you from death
He says things like
"Stay home, avoid elevators
Eat only elk"

You live with this child but you don't know it
You're in the office, yes but live with
This boy at night
He's uninformed, but he does want

To save your life. And he has
Because of this boy you survived a lot
He's got six big ideas
Five won't work
Right now he's repeating them to you
