Michael Stone

Hi Friends... As many of you know, I suffered a concussion from a fall this past week and was not able to focus with my normal laser like precision. At the advice of my Doctors, I took some days off.

You know I read about the concerns of coaches and parents and the increasing frequency of concussions suffered during sports, especially football games. Their concerns are understandable, who else is going to take care of our kids if it's not their adult mentors? Pro football players go through this all of the time, but radio air personalities?

Firebox is a company that has developed some new cutlery that they claim can help "gluttons in need of a work out." Do a little "power lifting" while eating your meal. How?

Last night I went out to perform at an open mike night. It was at the Drake Park Restaurant. Certainly one of my personal favorite places in Fort Collins.

I am a huge proponent of technology, but when it comes to voice recognition technology it leaves something to be desired. I downloaded several automatic voice dialers for my iPhone and it was ridiculous trying to get any of them to work.

When you get up at 3am everyday a midnight celebration of the new year is something that just falls to the wayside as another day.

No one has more useless information in their brain than me. I've been doing the Impossible Question since 1980 and thought I would have run out of trivia in that time period. NOPE !

I've been writing music ever since I can remember. Back in 2007 or 2008, the dates blur for me anymore, I released my first CD of original music. It didn't exactly burn up the Billboard charts, but it was an accomplishment, I'd been hoping for throughout the years.

Opening For Karla Bonoff, the good, the bad, the funny! --Michael Stone (from a Sept 2007 post) A perfect night, despite it's imperfections. That's how I might describe last night's show. I was the opening act for Karla Bonoff at The Rialto Theater in Loveland, Colorado. Broken strings, a warm audience and continuance of my musical resurrection, made my performance truly memorable.
