The fact that Mike has nearly 700 tunes STILL hasn't made the "Music Business" world exactly beat a path to his door. After numerous attempts using "Mainstream" methods, the INTERNET finally looked like the most reasonable vehicle for sharing some of his music. This site will be dedicated to the collections of music, personal experiences, anticdotes, true road stories, Professional and Non-professional influences and nice folks Mike has met , played with or opened up for along the way. It should promise to be quite a JOURNEY ! Playing "Professionally" for the last 26 years has given Mike the kind of exposure for Mastering The Craft of performing LIVE. The fact that his "copy" song list (around 500 !) is almost as vast as the amount of songs he has written simply boggles the mind. It is amazing the amount of WORDS and CHORDS that it must take to "remember" that many songs! He has performed (on occasion) up to 8 hours and never repeated a song. Look forward to his forthcoming CD ('s?) that will be available in the next few months. STAY TUNED! MIKE STRICKLAND : tickling audience's ears since 1979.
