Time for a song. Like most of the Soul Amp songs it's an odd one: My Friend It seems the story of life is to just keep plugging away. I've watched my mom do it. And my dad did it to. Therein lies the beauty of life. Not giving up and continuing to grow and enjoy what we have around us, right? Well that and beer (in moderation). That's what I think. You might think something different, but maybe that's what the [...]
Love is the Beat: Love is the Beat mp3 Flowers, Flowers, Flowers! Have a happy Monday! Yellow rose telling it's short story followed by a Christmas Cactus blooming in Summer. Photos by Mike Fisk White flowers [...]
Shine on you fine people: Shine On an mp3 I took this composite image in Colorado just before a bunch of tornado warnings hit the area. It's a vertical composite of 10 images. It's weird, I know. But enjoy and rock out to the newish song [...]
Here's a wonderful new song by the Ampers of the Soul 'cause some might call this a Love Song... and that's the way I'm rolling it: Love is the Beat mp3 Ah, spring. Here's it is in June and we're still in the midst of it here in the WI. Summer is just around the corner, maybe. You never know up here. These we taken in April of this year. It's supposed to be warm this weekend, but [...]
Here's that weird and wonderful Sha La La La La song from the irrepressible Soul Amp: Same...Sha La La La La So sorry to be absent for so long. I think I just went into a bit of a creative slump. I hope to get back to music as well. But here's a couple of odd photos (with more to come) of a Chinese bird sculpture or object or whatever it might be called (it's very cool...it opens) that appears to be [...]
Here's another story of a smashed finger contributed by a reader named Elizabeth who is a clarinet player: howdy glad to see your fingernail grew out all right im not so sure mine will be a whole finger wide as i split the matrix where the nail gets made its growing in kinda weird and the 'disolving' stitches are in the way of progress alas..at week 5.5 dang car doors! i did this to myself, popped it like a grape broke the bone and the nail came right off i think the open wound took the [...]
Here's an odd song for you. What's it about? Same...Sha La La La La an mp3 I took this composite image from our office window and I found it odd enough to post. It's a goose's foot prints leading to an American flag at a Toyato [...]
Here's a newish song that asks you to be tolerant of others and express yourself as you feel is right without worrying about what the world expects. If people are hurting you, then don't worry about them...that's what I say. Oh oh, I explained my song. I really don't like doing that. Really, when I wrote, I had no idea what it meant, but now that's what it means to me. Interpret it as you like. It's just a silly song: Same...Sha La La La La [...]
Ok, you've got admit this saguaro is cool. It looks just like a giant hand, huh?

More AZ desert pics for you. What's with the smudge? Stupid dirty lens. And with that I present to you this weird song featuring Hammond Organ and pounding piano and some "shoo dots": Big Fat Blaze mp3 The bees were swarming around various bushes that day. It was very strange and eerie. Photo of Arizona desert just after sunrise with lots of prickly, pointy, pokey foliage of the catcus viarety backlit [...]
It's sunny today in the WI, but dang it's cold. (I'll have some ice lake pics to show you all soon...but later) OK, so enough snow and freeze for a little bit. Here's some cactus flower pics from sunny Arizona. Hey, ML, what type of cactus is that anyhow? I know I should know. Anyhow, enjoy the pics AND Here's a crazy love song in the "Soul Amp Style": There Once Was (A Sunny Way to Go) [...]
At last Friday is here. Ok this song seems to match the pics all right. What do you think? A bit of a searching song, it seems: Shove Me All You Love These were taken from Lincoln Memorial Drive in Milwaukee. It's Bradford Beach with the snow fences still up and a cool street light and some leafless trees: [...]
The photo below inspired the lyric (also for those brave enough, you can find precursors to this song if you look around for it on the soul-amp.com site..they are very strange instrumentals... quite odd...full of mistakes...more so than this version of the song): Big Fat Blaze So here's the frozen shoe buried in dirt and shells on Lake Michigan next to a piece of ice that looks surprisingly like the state of Texas. (Of course, if it had looked like [...]
Well, here ya go, another new Soul Amp tune: My Friend For your pleasure some odd macro-ish photos of small ice formations on Lake Machigan at sunrise on a calm March day in 2009. Do not hestitate to enjoy the music and images all my lovely blog readers. Natural Ice [...]

Natural Ice Sculptures at Sunrise on Lake Michigan just North of Milwaukee, WI, March 18, 2009. .....Photos [...]
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Joyous Soltice, and Happy Whatever you may celebrate! Here's a piano Christmas tune for you.

Christmas tree in a median. Wisconsin 2009. Photos by Mike [...]
Here's a tragic winter romance song for you all about the ill-fated romance of Johnny and Jenny (poor Johnny... Jenny seems to be doing all right): The Ballad of Jenny and Johnny mp3 It took me a bit to get around to posting these images (and I have a few more posts of them coming up), but here's some of the December blizzard (12/8/2009) images from Wisconsin 2009.
