Cheers, Everyone!

I was born and raised in Germany and moved permanently to the U.S. in 1986. As a young guy (age 18) I've taught myself to play the guitar and soon expanded to other stringed instruments and the piano (well, keyboard!). I've been playing live gigs for years, then took a little break. Soon, I picked up composing and songwriting again. I've been around for music for over 30 years and it still remains one of my biggest passions in life.

This song has so much atmosphere! Kinda like Steely Dan's 'Deacon Blues'. It envelopes you and you can't escape because you don't want to escape. You want to stay there forever. Excellent, Mike & Mack!

Great track. We had a bright, full moon on a cold, clear night, so I dragged myself out to the deck and listened to your song on my headphones.

Perfect.

Wonderful Blues you´ve come up with. Great vocals and very cool "soft" guitar playing. The hammond brings the real "ol´blues" feeling over it.

Mike and Mack. Great collab work !

Take care

Mike and Mack,

what a great soothing experience I have listening to your wonderful bluesy tune. It´s like, well, going south!
Excellent guitars, LOVE the hammond, the steady beat and bass.
OUTSTANDING VOCALS! Wow. This is just great!

WELL ON THE VERGE OF BREAKING DOWN.... that´s what we all are at times and this truth, no matter how often you hear it, will remain true!

Very cool key change, the whole thing to me is like
well, ging home!

Love it!

Congrats!

Why this name?
It's got something to do with my name :)
Do you play live?
Not anymore. I consider myself a studio musician these days.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It's an opportunity to get your music heard by a broad audience without great expense of promoting yourself.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Undecided... Talk to me :)
Band History:
You've been marked on my visitor map!
Your influences?
Yanni, Jean Paul Jarre, Rippingtons, Kraftwerk (believe it or not), various Jazz, Rock, Blues and Classical artists.
Favorite spot?
Favorite spot would be with my music equipment (second to my wife, of course).
Equipment used:
Various Acoustic, Classical and Electrical guitars, a couple of keyboards, expensive music software, BOSS BR1600, BOSS GT-8 and a few other toys.
Anything else...?
I love music, I love life. And no matter what age you are, you are only as old as you feel - so, feel young all your life! - And don't forget: art is in the eye of the beholder! :o) I also DJ on Mixposure.com ... check it out some time.
