About me: Myspace Layouts
I play the harmonica and sing and write (when not blocked or in a self absorbed state). I’ve done so for many a year. I have been fortunate to have traveled extensively because of this 10 hole diatonic instrument. I was born in the Motor-city Detroit. I received my first harmonica at age 8 from my grandma. She brought it back from Hawaii where they lived for a while. I learned my first Beatles song, "Love Me Do" shortly there after. Joined my first band in 1972 (Ernie and the Neighborhood Gang) while in high school. My cousin Kevin said "If you're going to be a lead singer of a rock band you need to blow that harp once in a while." So I took his advice. That same year my friend Randy Nelson and I hitch-hiked to FLA for spring break and we took our harps with us...(drove everyone nuts with our one Beatles song!) From that point on I have always kept a harp in my pocket. I've since lived and worked in Texas, California and Tennessee. Thirty years and a lot of notes have been played since. Several years ago (1977) I was working on a merchant drill ship that started drilling in the Gulf of Mexico and ended up in the Santa Barbara channel. One of my shipmates heard me practicing my harmonica deep below in one of the catacombs of this hallowed rig. He asked if I had heard this harmonica player who accompanied Jimmy Buffet. I said maybe on the radio, but I didn't own any of his records. He gave me "Son of a Sailor" (how appropriate!) and the rest is history. Fast forward 20 years and low and behold I have become friends and have played with the harpoon man himself. Currently, I live in Knoxville, TN where I am in a blues duo called The Detroitdaddies. The other half of the duo sometimes known as TALLDADDY is my brother from another mother Tall Paul. My first Trop-Rock event was Knoxville's Tropic Festival (where I met Fingers) in 1997 with St. Somewhere, A1A and Greg Bridgewater. My first time in Key West was 1998 at MOTM with St. Somewhere, then again in '99. Did a stint on the road with St. Somewhere 1998-2001 playing Vermont, New Orleans, St. Louis, Galveston, Orlando, (Margaritaville's grand opening with Buffet, Club Trini and Fingers), Minn/St. Paul, NY, Boston & Philly. I've played, to name a few, Riddles in the Sand, Riddles in the Snow, MargaRaleighville, Stars on the Water, Stars Fell on Alabama, Pirate and Parrotpalooza's, and of course one of my fave's, the Mid-Winter Meltdown in Manassas. Had a great time everywhere we went. Recently, Tall Paul and I have been playing lots of Trop-Rock events around the country, including MOTM the past 3 years... in 2009 we are scheduled to play The Mid-Winter Meltdown, Atlanta's Parrothead Cruise and Flipperstock in St Louis. I am also joining forces with John Frinzi for the Hope Rocks the Beach in Fort Myers and the Sunny Jim Jam pre-MOTM party. I have a live album with Tall Paul called "Chalk It Up." I am also working on a new Detroitdaddies record.
Peace, mc

Ciao Crawdaddy ti volevamo ringraziare per le tue parole e per il tuo sostegno in periodo così difficile per noi.
Questi ringraziamenti non sono formali, sono veramente sinceri a nome nostro, della moglie di Enrico Paola e a nome dei suoi figli.
Le ceneri di Enrico Micheletti sono disperse nel mar Tirreno e stanno viaggiando nell' universo. Noi speriamo che anche la sua anima abbia raggiunto finalmente il miglior approdo possibile.
Cosa fare del suo materiale in nostro possesso e del materiale che abbiamo registrato insieme?
Dopo aver pensato a lungo sul da farsi abbiamo deciso di pubblicarlo. Lo pubblicheremo su Itunes ed altri siti così tutti potranno trovarlo se lo cercano. Glielo dobbiamo. Glielo deve chi lo ha conosciuto.
Cercheremo di pubblicare tutto ciò che è in nostro possesso nei primi mesi del 2009.
Appena sarà tutto pronto ti faremo sapere.
Felice Anno Nuovo. Dio ti benedica ancora, grazie. Suonate il blues più che potet
Friend, please don't mourn for me I'm still here, though you don't see. I'm right by your side each night and day and within your heart I long to stay.
My body is gone but I'm always near. I'm everything you feel, see or hear. My spirit is free, but I'll never depart as long as you keep me alive in your heart.
I'll never wander out of your sight- I'm the brightest star on a summer night. I'll never be beyond your reach- I'm the warm moist sand when you're at the beach.
I'm the colorful leaves when fall comes around and the pure white snow that blankets the ground. I'm the beautiful flowers of which you're so fond, The clear cool water in a quiet pond.
I'm the first bright blossom you'll see in the spring, The first warm raindrop that April will bring. I'm the first ray of light when the sun starts to shine, and you'll see that the face in the moon is mine.
When you start thinking there's no one to love you, you can talk to me through the Lord above you. I'll whisper my answer through the leaves on the trees, and you'll feel my presence in the soft summer breeze.
I'm the hot salty tears that flow when you weep and the beautiful dreams that come while you sleep. I'm the smile you see on a baby's face. Just look for me, friend, I'm everyplace!
..
It's almost like REAL turkey! Merry Christmas!
