What to tell........
I've been playing for over 25 years and have played in several unique situations.
Because of some ongoing health problems, my musical career (if you can call it that) and life have been quite an adventure.
From the earliest of my recollection, I knew I was supposed to play the guitar. My first few interactions with the instrument were not all that spectacular but life and time have a funny way of working out.
Over the years, I have re-invented myself in terms of playing style....sound... etc. Now that I've gotten older (and hopefully wiser), I've found a home in playing a Louisiana / Mississippi hybrid slide style.
I've been told, by people who would know, that I sound like I am from Hammond, Louisiana....so I've adopted it as the second home I've never been to....whatever that means!
Chris Thomas King was recently in my neck of the woods...the real one... and he gave a clinic...Fortunately, we had a chance to talk quite a bit and through the clinic and the concert, he heard both my singing and playing and seemed to like what he heard. So, who knows....maybe there is something to this Louisiana influence...

We finally decide to get it out. We wanna remeber Enrico in this way. In the first quarter of 2009 we will publish all our and Enrico Micheletti' s materials on Itunes and many other stores on the web.
We'll send you a message when it's all ready.
God bless you!!!!
KEEP THE BLUES ALIVEEEE!!!!!!!
Ciao Steven Lefebvre 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.
Dio ti benedica ancora, grazie. Suonate il blues più che potete!!!!!
Thank you for letting me know that my music touched your life in such a way. I do what I love and love what I do and this is what it is all about, music and the people it touches! Peace, Sonny
