Another newbie for the grindstone

Post by northmountainmike » Mon Jan 24, 2011 11:59 am

Hi All,

My name is Mike and I have been in and out of music most of my life. You know, the usual story...Dad was an accountant and I ended up with"real work" after starting out life in piano bars and restaurants in Toronto in the late 70's ( man that just feels like yesterday ) funny how the courage of youth gets replaced by other uncertainties, only to get replaced again by the I know what I want to do and better give it my best shot now. It has been good for me, good for my children as they watch their old man trying to learn about production et all. They are learning it is good to follow your dreams, but you need a plan.

I have enjoyed reading through the site and look forward to the comeraderie that is here being extended a little further ;o)

Happy to have landed here and looking forward to the continuing education.

All the best,

Mike

Welcome, Mike. Sounds like you've got just the right attitude. These are some of the most generous, supportive people you're likely to meet anywhere on the web.
