Specialties & Comments:Mike is more
than a collaborator, he is a mentor. Over the 10+ years we've been
friends, he has helped me build my first computer, recovered a hard
drive from my first crash, and set me straight about treating music
as the business it is. I owe a lot of who and what I am musically
and otherwise to Mike.When it comes to music, he is brutally honest,
professional and tasteful. His whimsical side shines through in his
parody songs about subjects like the U.S. government and Microsoft.
His more serious side shines through in songs about relationships,
longing, traveling, and the outdoors. He sticks to the basics of songwriting:
great lyrics and melody.
Completed Projects:

Pending Projects:
Mike moved to
OH at about the same time I moved to Harrisburg, PA in 1997. Our
lives and schedules picked up in pace ever since, but I am convinced
that there are more tunes to be written and recorded together.
"Yes, the jig is up... I am the maniacal
psaltery player. I torment small children and pets, old people
and young virgins with tunes made for the archaic instrument.
I sing songs of shepherds under the stars and maidens bathing
in the river Test. I... well, you get the idea... and people throw
rocks at me and tell me to play "far, far, away."
