"MIKE BECK-HORSEMAN-PICKER-GUITARIST EXTRAORDINAIRE"
**********************************************************************
Mike plays guitar like a Byrd.His strings do things mine could never do.they obey the slightest finger touch commands like a fine reining horse."
****************************************************************
"Makes me want to load up my guitar and ride for the high points.In today's dizzy world of Freeways ans Expensive ways,here is a fellow who has found value in a heritage from the past that is fast disappearing.Mike understands the mind of the cowhorse and it lives in his strings.And the words are true.Keep on pickin'and writing and ridin'"

**********************************************************************
Mike Beck is one of those writers with the cowboy in his heart.These songs are filled with braided rawhide and mission bells...Listen up,Friend!"

You fellas rock! Your blend of country and classic rock is unique and fitting. Keep up the hard work!! Hope you enjoy the Walter Rose EP's I put in your hands. Take care.
thank God for a real musician like you Mike in this age of thrash and strum-more power to your elbow (and fingers) thanks for including me in your site-Mike Pedril
I am an indie film actor in Denver, and have the lead role in a new western called "The Tarryall." It will be released in 2010, starting with the film festival circuit. Go to myspace.com/thetarryall and become a fan.
Congratulations on the standing room only 4-show series you did these past two weekends. Loved the Bohemian Saints performances... and your acoustic solo show was fabulous, too. OLD BLUE needs to be placed on a new CD when you can do so. You and Tom Ayres are simply amazing when you play back and forth together on this song! Love the new tunes, too, our favorites! Our friends - returning to see the band again and those new to your talent - enjoyed all of the concerts, as well. So..the usual question...when are you coming back to Monterey? Soon, we hope!
It was great to see two of your songs included as part of the list of The 13 Best Cowboy Songs of All Time in the April, 2009 issue of Western Horseman. Congratulations!!!
This years festival is headlined by Billy Bragg (Friday), Seth Lakeman (Sunday) and Peatbog Faeries (Saturday) with many more top artists also performing incl the award winning The Demon Barbers.
