Greetings!

Welcome to AstroTalk, an area devoted to music, photography, astrology, and other spiritual practices. I am Michael Erlewine, founder/director of Matrix Software and I have been working in astrology for the last fifty years, the first astrologer to program astrology on desktop computers and make those programs avaialble to others. Matrix Software is the oldest software company on the Internet aside from Microsoft.

I was a musician in the 1960s, hitchhiked with Bob Dylan, was lead singer in the Prime Movers Blues Band (Iggy Pop was my drummer), opened for Cream at the Fillmore in S.F., jammed with Jerry Garcia, and things like that.
