Thanks to all of you who made a donation to the M.I.K.E. non-profit organization in honor of Mike's birthday through Facebook. He exceeded his goal which will help us help others.
I am excited to share the news that Mike is about to begin recording his 6th album. I'll tell you more about it as it comes together.
I hope you enjoyed a nice Thanksgiving and wish you a wonderful holiday season. I sincerely hope we have the pleasure of seeing you soon.
