about

Today, the 20th of October, commemorates Mike's birthday and the release of his final albums. This project has been a journey over 4+ years, since Mike passed; immortalising the music created by a man who is forever in our hearts.

This final release is a 'two parter' - "The Last Hurrah" celebrates Mikes talent, creativity, love for life and wonderment. This album contains some family favourites, instrumentals, melodies, songs and snippets. Some a little unpolished, but worth sharing. The best of what remains in the treasure trove of his works spanning 30 years of writing music and lyrics.

One last hurrah.....

There is one last time to catch my eye
In reflections in the pools
Cast one more honest thought
Before the body cools......

Before this day melts
Before the breath has gone
There’s one last hurrah
One last Hurrah

Give me just a few more minutes
To achieve the goals I’ve set
Grant me the will to value time
With some sober intellect
