Mail From “Beatle Mike”

Posted on March 23, 2020 by in Blog

A fan/friend from Tennessee, has been gracious in showing his support of my work by repeatedly liking, commenting, sharing, and spreading the word. I am so grateful for his ongoing kindness.

Last month we spoke by phone, and I asked for his address to send him some personalized merch I’ve been working on. He in turn asked for my address, and sent me a surprise package. I got some footage of opening the package, and created a fun video thank you card, all-in-one…enjoy!

Performing at a Facility in the Age of Corona

Posted on March 16, 2020 by in Blog

I hope this finds you all well.
 
Most of my regular daily/weekly/monthly gigs (an assisted living facility in Manhattan, and children’s hospitals in Brooklyn, Bronx, and Queens) have been indefinitely postponed with the sole exception of my most frequently visited assisted living facility way up in the northern tip of Manhattan.
 
Each time I (and all employees) arrive at the facility, there is a triage set up where I fill out a sheet with a list of questions re: whether we have been exposed to, or diagnosed with Covid19, traveled to any associated countries (i.e., China, Italy, Korea, Japan, etc.), etc. They take your temperature, and ask if you have any specific list of cold/flu symptoms. If you are cleared, you get a slip of paper to hand to security and then allowed to proceed to elevators.
 
The audiences appear to be more receptive/enthusiastic than normal, and I am more determined to put on a fun, upbeat, interactive show (which is my norm anyway). I get the feeling I am a positive distraction for them, and it makes me feel useful and purpose-driven, however, many dementia patients naturally appear to have no idea what’s going on. 
 
In any case, I am grateful to be able to continue my work.
 
Please stay safe and take good care!
 
With gratitude,  
Dave Jay from NYC

Dave Jay’s “Mood Board” (Vision Board)

Posted on March 10, 2020 by in Blog

Recently, in my work with fellow musician and social media teacher, Damian Keyes, we were assigned the task of creating a vision board, (he’s British and referred to it as a “mood board”…biscuit/cookie, I guess…). Here is my vision for what my “world” looks like, from where I come from to where I’m going…what is my story and how am I going to share it?  I have to figure out how to take this world I’ve created and implement it into my socials, and myself into this world…any thoughts…? Thanks…enjoy!  Please click image to enlarge. Use backarrow to return.
