For The Daily News

Twenty years ago, the musical artist known simply as Mick walked away from songwriting and performing. He had achieved a measure of success, fronting the band Bombardier, but had grown weary of the lifestyle.
Recently, Mick's creative juices began flowing again. He wrote a batch of songs that had friends bubbling with enthusiasm. But once he began recording, one question kept popping up. 

Mick, who grew up in Menlo Park and resides in San Jose, tells The Daily News, "Everyone was asking me, 'What are you going to do with this?' I have no illusions about going on tour, trying to become a rock star. It's not something I would want to do. It's not something that's even possible.
