We're Not All Perfect-Crunchy Shaman

 
From Crunchy Shaman (a.k.a. my stepson Ryan): "Life is not perfect; we don't always get what we want, but we learn to let go and move on. This is my first Garage Band song,  I'm just learning, so its also not perfect as is life :-)" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_IuzUksTtM

"JUST SAY NO" By Magic Mike Likey On "Magic Mike's Castle" (1990)

 
Retro "Magic Mike's Castle" from 1990. "Just Say No" was a popular theme for magicians' shows back then, especially when touring in schools. Our TV-show was no exception! Puppeteer Darrell Scarrett​ encouraged me to write and perform a song with that theme for our show; in fact, he wrote much of it, and I wrote the music for it. Enjoy!

Magic Mike's Castle-1989

 
Starting today! A deep-dive into my original TV-show! A blast from the past! From 1989, my TV-show featuring guest from the Society of Young Magicians, Scott Burton.
Notice the usual theme-song minus my pre-recorded, now-infamous intro and extro. Also notice my costume: this show was before my usual outfit; this one consisted of a local, custom-sewn medieval-shirt.
