The Bad: So here's how it went down...We filmed those two videos on Monday under the impression that I was going to get a 50 watt amp. Well I did. Problem being I took the amp out of the box and I was excited, I was estatic. I looked over examined all the features, knobs, pedal (yes it came with a pedal to switch it from clean to distored). It was amazing! Then I plugged it in gentling giving it a little volume and stuck the G string to start playing Pigs (Three Different Kinds)...and it buzzed. I took it out of the box and it was blown out. Thank you Musicians Friend and UPS for making sure that my amp was taken care of! Right now I am just trying to decide if I should keep on trying to get a hold of Musicians Friend (every time i call I get a machine saying "All circuits are busy, try again later") or just take it to Richardson's (the music store at Superstition Springs Mall) have them fix it but that would void the warrenty... =( Any suggestions?

The Good: I would like to thank Elise for giving me what is perhapse the best (late) birthday present I ever got: a picture of me and Dad and a key chain of said picture! It came at the perfect time. Folks I have been thinking a lot about my dad lately and it sometimes seems hard for me to remember a whole lot about him... It seems theres so much I don't know. Please everyone who reads this, leave a comment about a memory you have with my dad. Good, Bad, funny, serious, goofy or enlightening; I want to hear it. Just so you all know, you can thank Brooke for getting me to think about him. Without even trying to she got me to talk about him. I realized that I don't really talk about him, but I miss him. I wounder how his influence would have changed me. Would I be more like him? Am I more like him then I realize?

You asked for it, and now your gonna get it

You have been asking and wondering "Mike, when are we going to get to hear you play?" Well folks I'm gonna do you one better! We filmed it! Right now we are a two man band going by the name Muddy Thunder. I appologize for the poor quality of my bass in these video, I have been working with an electric guitar amp for a while now, but I am getting a 50 watt Crate Bass amp on the 23 of January (i think). Right now the only videos are covers but soon enough there will be original works.

More to come, I promise
