Quotes from Fans & Clients:
"Mike, you get the best sound out of your guitars. It is so much fun to watch you play. You absolutely have all of the skills to have been a famous player. You are as good as many of them and better than most. Trust me. I've gotten to know lead players from Evanescence, Seether, Finger Eleven, Breaking Benjamin and and really they aren't even coming close to your skill level. I am so glad you are playing again because you are so good. And, your band is excellent! What a blast it has been to watch you today."
~John Lee, TV & Radio Personality, Little Rock, AK
