The first MySpace blog! Had a wild and crazy finish to the summer (is it over yet?). Played at the MN State Fair with Tom Mischke, on the 'Prairie Home Companion Show' on the Grandstand stage. Super fun experience, playing guitar with some awesome musicians! Played two more dates with my duo-sidekick, Chris Herriges, at the Ramberg Senior Center. That too was a blast. So fun to see how music touches lives, from infancy to elderly (I'm currently somewhere in the midde of the spectrum). Lots of gigs this month.  Hope you're all well.  See you back here soon - Mike
