This is where I post vintage materials from the Mountain Bike Legacy Project, which primarily covers the years from 1970 to 1990.

A few years ago (like over 20) Jacquie Phelan wrote a humorous article about my then profession of moving pianos. Here we are and here it is.
I made the cover of the local newspaper when Billy Savage’s film “Klunkerz” premiered at the Sequoia Theater in Mill Valley. Here is the article.
This is a flattering article.
