So here’s the deal. I wrote a wish list of people I wanted on my record. Then I spent the last 6 years living out of the back of a van, driving around the country to get people to play on it.
At this point it’s been recorded in all 50 states. I drove to 48 of them. Tried to drive to Alaska but the van died (I’ve gone through 2). Flew to Hawaii. Recorded a lot of it at truck stops and public parking lots out of the back of the van. The record is called “American Hotel”. It's 22 songs long. I know that’s a lot, but it’s been 6 years. It should be out by the end of the summer. All told, there are 75 great Musicians on this thing. Look to the left of this note in Band Members. That’s everyone that plays on it (and the bands they’re in or were in). I’ll let you know when it’s finally is coming out. Thanks, MB

My other band and my studio, respectively.
Hey. We need to spend a little time b4 you're off again. Save me a day will you? We should check out haunted houses and trespass where people have shotguns loaded with rock salt and not buckshot. Or just out for a beer.
Thanks for letting me add you since we share the same name. I hope you make it to Little Rock someday would love to see ya perform! I hope you will visit my page from time to time and see whats new as I will be looking in on yours as well! Have a great day! Michael B Little Rock, Ar
After much, much thought, I think Last Ditch Letters should be the first single released from MKD Records' premiere CD...... FYI: The AK movie opens in the next day or two for a one week showing at a theater in Santa Monica.
Hey.. See if you can find a showing of The Alphabet Killer near you. Opens 2nite in Roch. Is playing in NYC and LA too. I was at an invite only show last night. I made the cut. Movie is pretty good. Hope all is well. Call me sometime.
