A Note from Michael

July 19, 2011
Hi Everyone,
I recently started playing some summer dates in support of the new record. And it’s been such a pleasure to see all of you on the Road again. Shanachie just released a second YouTube video, this one for “Time Together,” the album’s title song. I’m donating the royalties from this song to Hearts United for Animals, the rescue organization from which we adopted Flora. HUA has been especially busy lately dealing with many lost and displaced animals after the recent floods in the Midwest.
My thanks to all of you for your enthusiastic support of the new record! I’ve noticed at gigs how many songs from “Time Together” are requested during the shows. We’ve scheduled extra rehearsals so we can include more new tunes in the repertoire.
As many of you already know, I recently entered the world of Facebook. I must admit I’m enjoying reading all the comments and seeing some of the old photographs some of you have posted. Thanks for joining me on this musical journey! We’ve been through a lot together: vinyl, 8-tracks, cassettes, CD’s, and now digital downloads. You’ve seen me with long hair, short hair, less hair--wearing running shoes of every denomination, in suits, in Levis, etc. One thing that has remained a constant is our connection through music.
Thank you!
Wishing all of you
Health, Prosperity, Happiness, Peace


Michael

"Time Together" was released in June. The CD is available online from Amazon.com, and local record stores, with digital downloads from most major services including iTunes and Amazon.com. Shanachie Entertainment has created a video using the title song from "Time Together", now on YouTube.
