Hi,

I haven't posted to this forum before so thought I'd drop in to say howdy. I know Tubularbelle has been promoting me on Youtube. Daft woman that she is...

I've been a fan of Mike since I was about 10 when I first started wanting to play the guitar. I'm now 41 and still listen to Mike's stuff but spend most of my time these days making my own music. Which is quite MO influenced a lot of the time. He certainly has been a huge influence on my style of playing (especially on the electric guitar).

You can check out my stuff on my Youtube channel Youtube

or my website at My Webpage

Any feedback (good or bad) is most welcome.

This is a great site to a great musician. Mike is an amazing composer and in my opinion is one of the most under rated guitarists out there. If I could play like him...well...

Good to have you with us (again).
You, and your music, are most welcome here.
You're a great musician already.
No need for you to become a second Mike.

Edit:
p.s. Thanks for the Little Princes mp3.

Hi Len,

Yes Tubularbelle did a great job promoting you ...

Following her links, I downloaded your music from your web site.

I find your music very enjoyable, and some of the tunes even give me goose bumps. In that you are on par with Mike himself, becuase I enjoy his music very much, and a few of his tunes give me goose bumps too.

Thanks for sharing your music with us. Please let us know if you make a record some times. You will have at least one buyer from Belgium

--------------
I sure hope that Mike realises what joy he brings to us !

Thanks!

I'll never make a commercial record. But I'm getting better at recording all the time and will always put my stuff up for download. (There's a new one up today! "Geetaramundo")

I believe in sharing not selling! I would appreciate anybody subscribing to my vids on Youtube though as well as comments and ratings.

Welcome aboard, Lem! I've been hearing some of your music, thanks to TubularBelle. I can't post an opinion on YouTube cos I haven't got an account, but I'd just like to say I'm a big fan. It's good to see that Mike can have such an inspirational impact on others such as yourself which can inspire more great music. Hope to hear more of it soon!

Len,

Just to let you know. In my current mode these days I like the following songs the most:
Out of the Blue
Geetaramundo
Octoberday.

I just browsed your web. Where did you take the picture of the goose family taking a hike on a motorway ?

Thanks.

The geese? That was taken in the car park of Blair Drummond Safari Park near Stirling. They weren't moving for anyone!...
