I even now don’t forget the first occasion That I over heard an Elvis Presley song I was six years old. I didn’t realize that he had already passed away until my mom and dad informed me. Even now although I’m 35 I still take pleasure in listening to him sing. He had such a gorgeous voice.

Hey Mike….it’s your cousin, Sally. I wrote you also on MySpace, but now I found this website, so I know it is definitely you! I’m impressed….that’s the old HOOKS spirit!!!! You got a pretty healthy dose!!! Take care and keep on singing! I LOVE “If You Can’t Shag” If I had known you and your wife were looking for a good place to go shag that night in Whiteville, I could have taken you to a couple of really good places down at North Myrtle. Y’all come back soon, so I can show you!

Very cool. Absolutely love the stage name! Kudos to you for reviving that dormant dream. As a former garage band performer myself from the 60s and 70s, I definitely understand the rush of performing onstage. Keep on enjoying it!

But no one should be at all surprised that a 57 year old dude can still pump out the cool sounds. Remember, you are still younger than Bruce, Mick, Paul, et al. You’ve got at least another decade or two left in ya, I’ll bet.

Hope I get to hear ya one of these days!

I stumbled across your post and am totally inspired. Your quest to be a rock star gets me thinking about the dreams I’ve put on the shelf for the last few decades. I’ll have fun revisiting (and, who knows, maybe resuscitating) some of those aspirations.

Mike, way to go! Not only do you have talent but you have the balls to go for the gold.

I have done something similar with the two areas of my life that I am passionate about. Dogs and photography.

Keep up the great work. You are an inspiration, brother!
