..Header Banner Made with MyBannerMaker.com! Click here to make your own!.............. Apollo Night 2009 - 3rd place ...Hip Hip Hooray! **************************************************************** Mike is a singer/songwriter... born in Lansing, Illinois in '56... moved to West Virginia around '66... and has been here ever since. I love playin' guitar and recording and playin' live with my pickin' buddy Ray Hensley. Our 2 piece blues duo is named "Blues Crossing" (link below in friends) and we've been together for about 5 or 6 years. We've released one CD already titled "Dive Right In" and we have another one in the works. We've recorded about 40 songs to choose from, which is kinda like saying: which baby do we wanna keep! Tuff decision! Stay tuned!**************************** My kudos to Ken Bailey, Sonny Ward, Chris Sutton, Mark 'the harp' Cabell, Paul Callicoat, Andrea Cremona (The Blues Byrds) , my wife Karen, my dad and mom, our cat Josie, Jack Rice, Dick Patton, Aaron Burns, Chuck Montgomery, everybody who has the guts to play at open-mic nights, Colorado... for the Rocky Mountains, West Virginia.... for the hills and music... and all of our fans, young and younger!************* Are you bored yet? If you've read this far already then you have a longer attention span then I do so thanks for checkin' out my tunes.... hope you find one you like! Stay in tune, Mike.
