How you doing?.......

In my best Joey Tribiani voice....... So- this is my first official blog post. Words I never considered for any other use.......until now. It is Tuesday afternoon, American Idol is on in the living room, Laura and Sophie are avid fans. I like Simon, ofcourse- love the honesty. The girl I thought would for sure win, Carly, was booted out last week....... so what do I know- she owns a tattoo shop- thats cool enough for me.

So, I got my first box of cd's yesterday, from Eclecto Groove. The album, "Today", is out on May 20th- but I got my box this week! What a feeling. I waited until Laura got home before I opened the box- I figured I had waited this long- It was really exciting- they look AWESOME!!! Like a REAL album, uh.....I mean cd. Laura cried, I smiled and Sophie danced when we put it on.
It sounds better than ever. I called everyone to thank them, including my friend David Z. David of course co produced the recording with Tony Braunagel. David produced Prince, Kenny Wayne, Jonny Lang, Etta James......the list goes on. He also produced "Big Head Todd and the Monsters" - "Sister Sweetly" I LOVED that record- and still do. It has a great sound to it- and the songs are timeless to me. So it was a pleasure to work with David. He shared some stories with me and we had a lot of fun duking it out in the studio. So the single is out- and some of the triple A stations are already putting "Love like this" into rotation- which is really kick ass.
We have big shows this weekend- and I have been working on my rig all day. Lots going on now- almost too much- but I like it that way! So I will be doing these blogs weekly- keeping you informed on whats happening-and what we're doing........which is usually watching American Idol.

Peace,
Z

I am convinced this guy can change notes on paper to a song as good as anyone out there. Triple threat artists are rare, Mike can please the guitar freak,he has that fretboard under a spell. He can write songs that make sense without the listener knowing why he wrote the song, and then if that aint enough , his voice is one of crystal clarity. He can't or doesn't need to do more but show up and roll over you. Get in front. cattbox
