Stage Introduction:

Doc Mehl's last name is pronounced with a silent "H" - Like Mel. Mel Tillis. Mel Torme. Mel Gibson.  You get the drift.  And, for stage introductions, Doc pretty much prefers that you just ignore the first name that appears on his birth certificate.  Oh, there's nothing wrong with the name "Al."  But folks mostly just call him "Doc."  If you find…

Cowboy poetry is great. Western music is great. But everyone needs a change now and then. So check out Doc's new adventure, playing cello-bass with The Relics. It's a four-member folk rock band, featuring the sing-along tunes of legendary James Taylor, along with major folk artists from Canada and the US. Visit TheRelics.ca for upcoming concert dates. 

I just know you're going to enjoy "Good Medicine," available now.  But don't take my word for it.  Check out Rick Huff's review:

“Among Indian peoples, the word ‘medicine’ carries a special metaphysical importance. In that context the good doctor has indeed brought us ‘Good Medicine’ in this, his first published collection. This is a book you’ll likely return to again and again. Despite Doc Mehl’s subtitle ‘Read Two Poems and Call Me in the Morning,’ you may be sorely tempted to overdose on Doc’s observant…

"They say that all good things must end, sometime… Autumn leaves must fall."  And so it is with "Tuesdays with Garth."  If today is a Monday, then tomorrow must be a Tuesday.  But not just any Tuesday.  Tomorrow is the final installment of "Tuesdays with Garth."  Kind of brings a tear to your eye, wouldn't you say.  But don't worry, Doc and Garth will be back together someday.  (Probably on a public television fund-raising show in about 30 years.)  Tune in tomorrow for one more trip down memory lane.  

It’s Doc Mehl’s weekly feature:  TUESDAYS WITH GARTH!  By now you already know, I gave Garth Brooks permission to perform a few of my poems on stage… and, turns out… he’s a natural!  These photos show Garth and me both performing “Bandito.”  It’s a long poem, but Garth nailed every line!  Perfection!  Nice, Garth.

“Eh, bandito,” said the barkeep.  Two eyes turned at him to look,

Moustache whiskers wet with whiskey, nose half-buried in a book.

“Si,…

It’s Doc Mehl’s weekly feature:  TUESDAYS WITH GARTH!  When I first gave Garth Brooks permission to perform my poems on stage… I maybe didn’t realize that it would strengthen our bond of brotherhood.  I love you, man.  These photos show Garth and me both performing… “My Mother is Dysfunctional.”  (It’s a metaphor, Garth… don’t worry, our mothers will understand.)

My Mother is dysfunctional; she’s fickle; she’s…

It’s Doc Mehl’s weekly feature:  TUESDAYS WITH GARTH!  As you know by now, I gave Garth Brooks permission to recite some of my poems on stage… and I’m glad I did.  These photos show Garth and me both performing a poem dedicated to the riders and staff at the Colorado Therapeutic Riding Center… “I Am Your Horse.”  Garth, you nailed it.
