When I started this blog two and a half years ago I envisioned that it would be a journey where I mostly walked alone. I’m happy to say that this was not the case! I’ve had visitors from over 148 countries around the world as part of over 50,000 views of the 700 posts that I have made so far. I’ve met, and become friends with, people around the world! I would like to single out Gerard from the Netherlands who has been a supporter of this blog almost from day one and who has encouraged me to continue to post via his frequent comments. Unbelievable!

Mike,
Wonderfull, all those folks from countries all around the world, wandering with you! It’s like Forrest Gump, running across the US of A but not alone ( :):):) )
I still like your posts, even it’s political or about the lonely citizen on Tianman Square (how very very much courageous of one man!) The combination of stories behind the music, the music itself, some American politics and the special stories of people like the Tianman Square man make everytime my day!
I’ve been away with my wife on a trip through Europe for 4 weeks (Luxemburg, Germany, France and Belgium), ending at the (Belgian) Werchter Rock festival (at my age 🙂 ) On stage were amongst others Seasick Steve, The Simple Minds and a marvellous show of the good old Rolling Stones.
Today I started to read your blog again and I discovered that Í’ll have to do some extra/extra “work” to keep up to your hopefully never-ending story.
By the way, your blog is so much encouraging that I can’t let it go without some comments, so you don’t have to thank me for that; it’s because your blog is inspiring!
Your friend,
Gerard
Gerard,
Great to hear from you. Hope you had a wonderful trip…the rock festival sounds great! I would have loved to see the Stones (even at their advanced age 🙂 )
Thanks so much for the music you sent my way. I’m looking forward to having time to listen to it during our three day 4th of July weekend in the States. As usual, I will post my thoughts once I listen.
Your Friend,
Mike
