Thank you, Eric Vetter, for being a charming and knowledgeable guest, please come back soon. Many songs to play and slices of life to discuss. Thank you, for re-introducing me to Bill Withers. I wish you continued success with "No Name... & A Bag O' Chips" the super comedy & variety show at Otto's Shrunken Head.

I'm having fun, the radio show is getting better all the time. I think Paul puts my feelings best.

Mickey Goes Five for Five and He's Playing Two!

Two nights ago, I joined Valerie & Betty on their live Centanni radio show from Giovanna's Restaurant on Lexington Avenue & 100th Street. The food is fantastic. We talked baseball, work, neighborhoods, and vendors selling rice balls & fireworks in the street. Thank you, Val & Betty for having me on. You can listen to that show by going to the Valerie & Betty Show archive and click on July 6th.
