Mike is always being asked to sit in with friends- here's some videos of what happens when spontaneity and creativity kick in.
My amazing Brazilian friends the Blues Beatles made another stop in The Villages, and asked me to reprise my performance with them from years earlier. Here's a clip of Love Me Do.
Mike joins old friends Dave Bowler (former Ahmad Jamal drummer), Mike Campbell (former Chaka Khan guitarist) and the multi-talented Ryan Halliburton on bass for a funk mashup of Miles Davis' So What, James Brown's Super Bad, and Stevie Wonder's Superstition. What fun!!
Artur and I first played together with the Blues Beatles. At the time, he had just won the Albert Collins Award from the Blues Foundation. Recently, his band played Eric Clapton's Crossroads Festival. He's a smokin' young player. When his band played The Villages, he asked me to join them. Here's one of the tunes!
