I didn't know whether to put this in the music thread or here but it made me smile so I'm putting it here.
On the old board, someone shared this video of Mike Masse. My kids and I became instant fans, have watched many of his youtube videos and even bought his cd.
Saturday night, Mike was booked to play a small club in Holland and we were attendance. He did not disappoint. He performed covers of "Time Stand Still" and "Silent Lucidity", amongst many others, as if he had written them.
So why does this bring a smile to my face other than the obvious? He shared how he had been playing gigs at this little pizza joint for 25 years before getting the bright idea to record the performances and then post them on the youtubes. Up until then he had been a public defender and, with the popularity of his channel, was able to perform music full time. "The world could use one less lawyer" quote from Mike got a lot of laughs from the appreciative crowd of around 150 people.
So here we are: revisiting this incredibly talented singer and guitarist doing what he loves as a side gig which became a very lucrative career change. God bless him.
