Hi I'm Michael Deese, I was born on February 15 at McConnel Air Force Base Wichita Kansas the third of five boys. I am also the youngest of the first set of twins. My younger two brothers are also twins. My parents are Leroy and the late Josephine Deese (My Mother was also a twin). I come from a musical family. My Mother wrote the song "SEND ME THE PILLOW THAT YOU DREAM ON" at a young age and then sold the song in Memphis Tn. in 1950, My oldest brother, Terry plays the harmonica as a hobby and is a traveling RN. My younger brother, Donny writes songs (Donny is co-writer of the "Opening Up Doors" CD.
I got my first guitar a silver tone from Sears and Roebuck co. for Christmas at the age of eight. I am "self-taught" My song writing ability comes natural, I'm truly Blessed. I have supported my family, as an OTR truck driver, for over twenty-five (25) years, but MUSIC has always been my first love.
I have two sons, one daughter and grandchildren.
I was raised in the town of Hernando, (DeSoto County) Mississippi. I learned to sing listening to my Mother and Father, along with country music legends such as Merle Haggard, Conway Twitty, George Jones, Charlie Pride, Moe Bandy, Buck Owens and Kenny Rogers (just to name a few), on the radio.
I love God, my family, friends and country music. Thank you for visiting My Page. The songs in my line-up are all original and have been copyrighted. I am a BMI Member. I love to do private party's, Weddings, reunions. I'm a love song writer, Valentines Day I love, Love is in the air, lol. my brother Donny always said we’ll bring you to your knees with a good gospel and Bless his heart he wrote "The Golden Chariot” and “Jesus Committed No Crime” and I helped lol. I like Rodeos, festivals, out doors, swimming, BBQ's, and craw fish boils. Let the good times Roll. The song DEATH OF A HOBO was written by MR. Charles Forte a personal friend of my Mother’s and Father’s. This is a True story about the hobo, I was Honored to cut it, Mr. Forte is retired from the Southern Pacific Rail Road, a wonderful writer and friend.

Sage Keffer .com PS Country legend, Lee Roy Parnell, just left me a great note. See my top blog. It's incredible to get such a great endorsement from him!
The stone........after the throw. The word........after it's said. The occasion........after it's missed. The time.........after it's gone. Knock, Knock… I knocked at heaven's door this morning. God asked me...'My child, what can I do for you?' And I said, 'Father, please protect and bless the person reading this message.' God smiled and answered...'Request granted'.
If you believe, send this to seven people and the one who sent it to you. By doing this, you have succeeded in praying for eight people today. 'Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle. michael, thanks for love and support while i am going through chemo......hugss
