To All Readers of My Journal

Hi Everyone...

I've just been notified that my Journal is a Featured Screen again on AOL Music Talk. I'm very honored and flattered. I refer everyone who is here for the first time, to my June 8, 2004 entry...which gives some background about the journal... and instructions on how to read it from the beginning (which I believe makes it much more enjoyable...to do otherwise is like trying to make sense out of a movie that you walked into an hour late. Many readers have contacted me over the past six months to tell me how compelling the story is...and there have been nearly 6000 hits on the site since I started it in October, 2003. (nearly 2500 hits since I changed the site address a few months ago) The  journal chronologically documents my life, which has been rather exciting, and at times, pretty dark...and my musical journey...which is ongoing.  It includes my gigs with bands like AC/DC, Buddy Guy, Rick Derringer, and many, many others. Thanks again to everyone at AOL Entertainment for selecting my Journal...and for anyone who chooses to read it...I hope you enjoy it...All comments are welcomed.

                                  Thanks....Michael/Navlanch

    Note: A few entries back...I strayed from the chronolgical story of my life to add a few entries reflecting my politics...and some of my spiritual beliefs, as well. This being an election year, and what I believe is probably the most important election in my lifetime...I felt compelled to write outside of the normal format of this journal...and so I encourage all readers who may be interested to check those four entries out. Please keep in mind that these four consecutive entries are vastly different than the rest of this journal. The entries in question begin with the June 30, 2004 entry..."New Risks...As the World Turns". If anyone prefers to bypass these entries...you now know on which date they begin. These entries are just my opinions...they are, however, still based largely on my life experience.
