Mikey McCabe

Michael Peter McCabe Jr. was born on the 26th day in the Libra month of September, in the respective year of our Lord 1982. He began his journey of life, in the arms of a nurse on a night anguished by a fierce electrical storm. In the beginning, the new born babe craved the absorption of information that flowed from the world around him into his temporal veins and filled his soul with the intellect he would need, too later become the cynical realist that he would be for the greater adult portion of his life. So it began, his life, like a cork bursting from a wine bottle, ricocheting from one obstacle to the next, with no means of control or prediction. Young Michael was raised in a popular bard of eccentric musicians an innovators. Learning that music was the easiest way to communicate feelings, thoughts, emotion, and ideas, he decided at an early age he would devote a great effort throughout his life too learning and understanding this phenomenon. With help from the wise elders of the bard, he developed skills in performing. Later on he seeked the help of gypsy, who taught him for many years the mechanics and language aspect of this universal language. Distressed from the influence of the pain and high emotion one experiences throughout life, he was lead to find that music was the only thing he could depend on when he was in need for control or escape. With these experiences, Michael grew up not only to be an outstanding musician, but an individual who in spite of being a realist and a cynic, is a man rich with character and love that he spreads throughout the world like butter on an English muffin.
