It's Jazz, Man!

To a musical family was born
A man of whom ladies be warned!
He'll play with a strumpet
As if she's his trumpet
That talented man with a horn.

And then there's what he does with a flugelhorn! But you can hear it all for yourself. Click here:

If you haven't listened to Mike Metheny, do yourself a huge favor and immerse yourself in the magic of melodic (mostly), moody (often), and mesmerizing (always) music that is his special kind of jazz.

Buy his new CD, entitles "60.1" (yes, he's "our" age, and the better for it!). Listen to it all in order. Then and only then -- after about 3 full times through -- pick and choose which cut you'll put where on your self-compiled favorites. You'll also want his other available CDs, so search them out and buy them as a treat to yourself.

I've known Mike since seventh grade, when our family transferred us kids from Lone Jack school to Lee's Summit. I believe it all happened because my mom made a surprise visit to my brother Dan's second grade class and found him teaching spelling while the teacher was taking the curlers out of her hair. That about tore it with Mom. But I digress...

Mike's always been a music man; it runs deeply in the family. He's a consummate musician, a nice guy, and, as you can tell from the limerick, a man with a sense of humor. (I think; he hasn't seen this yet!)

I believe in buying good music and in supporting friends...although NOT in sharing music with friends (or anyone else) who don't pay for it. (I REALLY believe in copyright protection.)

So, dear friends and music lovers, I hope your next CD purchase will be one of Mike's CDs.

Thanks!!! Love you! You're the best!....;-)
