New slogan to reflect changes and new outlook
A little re-design:
With the recent changes in life, and in the direction of my music career, I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about the ‘big picture’; about my music, about who I am, about the diversity of my styles and influences, and about where I fit in the world.
Yup... kinda says it all. |
With the recent changes in life, and in the direction of my music career, I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about the ‘big picture’; about my music, about who I am, about the diversity of my styles and influences, and about where I fit in the world.
I decided to come up with a slogan.
I thought about my familiar influences and styles, and came
up with: “Diverse Music You’ve Heard”
Or the timeless aspect of music: “Diverse Musician Ever”.
But I decided on the one that says how my experiences have
given me range and depth, and how my travels shaped me as a musician and as a
person: “MIKEYZMUSIC – Diverse Musician in the World” says it all.
Kinda says it all. |

ALL THE SONGS I EVER PLAYED (In a Band)
At a recent jam session (for Jeff’s birthday!) the subject came
up “all the songs I ever played.” I liked the idea ever since I saw Robb Zerr's song list (Captain/bandleader of Pyrates of the Coast) of over 300 songs, and so I had started a list a
few years ago. The list has exploded in the last few years. (Who knew?)
Here is an ongoing tally of all the songs I ever played – in a band. The condition for a song to
be listed is that it had to be played in a band in front of people (not just noodling
around in the bedroom while listening to records.)
This list is only 'cover songs.' I'll post a separate list for originals later.

I'll update the list as I remember more songs... here they are at the current point in time.
