Go read The Story - Side Two, by Mike Turner. It's fucking awesome!


The phone rings again. At this point, I'm starting to think about leaving it off of the hook. It's Pete. "Hey, what are you doing?", he asked in a familiar tone. I thought 'think fast Mike...you know what happens if you don't have something on the go'. "Uhh... drinking coffee", I brilliantly shot back, immediately thinking 'oh, that's clever of you Mike. Great job all-star.'

Pete could sense some trepidation. "No deadlines, just fun this time -- promise", he said. People had been liking Upside Down's different sound and Pete wanted to readdress some of the other songs with me playing some more guitar. In fact, I wasn't busy -- drinking coffee is more of a hobby of mine than an arduous task-- so I jumped right in. Next thing I knew we had four tracks together that we were really happy with and it occurred to us that we might play this stuff live. So here we are…we are Fair Ground. We almost went with Fine Grind, but the coffee thing was getting weak.

Every now and then I fall out into open air just to feel the wind, rain and everything.
And though the hum and sway gets me down
, I'll find the way to peace and openness.
