"As a musician I was always growing artistically, stimulated by other musicians. And music was spontaneous. I still sit in with my singers playing my trombone or trumpet. It gives me a sense of being part of the music." Put Two Horses Together and There is Bound to be a Horse Race: Horse racing is simple. The fastest horse wins. That's it. It is very obvious who came in second, third and fourth. We don't judge a horse on how well it runs or what song it is humming as it runs along. With singers it's different. Musicians Karaoke: A New Movement in Karaoke: When karaoke hit the scene. Live music hit the road. Karaoke is a very affordable form of entertainment. Often times karaoke will fill the room as much or more than a high budget live band. A lot of great live bands found themselves out of work or working less. I was one of those karaoke kasualties. On Harmony: I was almost one of the next Beach Boys. I remember one summer afternoon in 1963 at the YMCA after swimming, my friends and I found ourselves in the recreation room. Someone had left the piano unlocked. After a couple renditions of Chopsticks, Hearts And Flowers and Louie Louie we proceeded to write our first hit song. From Musical Roots To Earthly Roots: At first glance you might not expect this 6 '5' burly gregarious hulk of a man to be anything else but what you see. Mike Christopher is a man of many surprises.
