<p><strong>Inspired by the article from the San Francisco Chronicle profiling Cap'n Mike and his smoked fish business, Holy Smoke.</strong> It recounts how Mike, a former minister and fisherman, met his wife Sally at a farmer's market and details his unique, slow cold-smoking process using his grandmother's recipe and alder wood. Further, it explores Mike's background, including his Native American heritage and journey to becoming a medicine man, and how this informs his approach to fishing and smoking salmon. <strong>It provides a personal narrative interwoven with the story of a successful artisan food business.</strong></p>

The band' s last release was called Paths to Greatness on Rokk Steady Records. </p> <p class="prefade"><strong>I</strong>n 1990, Squid teamed up with legendary guitar virtuoso <span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href= "http://www.harveymandel.com/">Harvey Mandel</a></span> as bass player. His unique style with more of an innovative guitar approach to the bass, creates a very original sound. The 1997 Harvey Mandel solo album "Planetary Warrior" features Squid on two tracks. You can also find Squid on the 1995 release "Snakes & Stripes." From jams with everyone from Van Morrison to Gregg Allman, Squid has his tentacles on the pulse. The band had reunited with keyboard legend Howard Wales at The Tribute to Chet Helms and literally ignited the crowd. Phil Elwood of the San Francisco Examiner was quoted as saying that the band organized by Harvey Mandel was gutsy stuff, compelling (an overwhelming) beat. Knockout performance!</p> <p class="prefade"><strong>I</strong>n 1992, Squid joined Diesel Harmonics as bass player, along with David Denny from The Steve Miller Band. The band features at least three guitarists in their concerts, giving the band a metallic country edge, with crafty tunes and smooth vocals. </p> <p class="prefade"><strong>L</strong>ater in '92, he joined Imo and the Moongazing Band as lead guitarist with reggae legend Earl "Chinna" Smith.</p> <p class="prefade"><strong>I</strong>n 1993, Squid introduced The Squid Vicious Orchestra, and headlined the Herbie Herbert Roast, a benefit concert for Thunder Road at Bimbo's in San Francisco. The band featured an all-star cast with guest performances by Joe Louis Walker, Robben Ford, Huey Lewis, Narada Michael Walden, The Tower of Power Horns, and members of Journey. His repeat SVO performance capped off the evening at The Tribute to Chet Helms, where Squid was so busy that night, that people were asking him, what bands are you ‘not’ going to play with tonight?!</p> <p class="prefade"><strong>Multi-instrumentalist Squid B. Vicious</strong> recently released a new album under his band name <strong>Platinum Squid</strong> <strong>called</strong> “Up From The Deep” with his long time music partner, co-writer and lead vocalist Jimmy Marin aka Jimmy Platinum.</p> <p class="prefade"><strong>S</strong><strong>quid B.
