I saw them three times in little clubs around the Bay Area. They didn't last that long, just a few months in 1981, and I don't think they played that many shows, and I don't think they played any outside the BA. It was my impression that it more just a fun side thing. It didn't seem that there was much if any rehearsal, but they were a pretty cookin' little group and were fun to see. It was the only time I saw Mickey as the one drummer in a band, and as a Mickey fan it was fun to see him play with a different approach.
Joan Baez also sat in at the shows I saw. I think she & Mickey were a thing during that time.
A smaller version of the group also played the infamous Baez Benefit show in San Mateo in December of '81 that was billed as High Noon & Joan Baez & Friends w/ Jerry Garcia, Bob Weir & Phil Lesh, but the Grateful Dead played a surprise short electric set at the end that wasn't announced or expected. That was a great show.
I took these shots at that one. Not my best efforts, I was "distracted" that night and these are the only ones that came out halfway decent, but I love all three shots...

None whatsoever. I think I'd remember that band by it's personnel mix alone.
Hope I get to see Bobby Vega play bass again.
I think Mike Hinton was in one of Mickey's bands I never saw. The only one I saw didn't have a guitarist.
