He has a huge repertoire of cover songs to delight any audience. For example on his cover of ‘Magic Power’ originally done by Triumph a line goes: “let the music be your power, it’s your chance to be free”. It’s pure magic how one line can say so much. I hadn’t known it was a cover and when I asked Mike the name of the song he told me and credited the artist. Mike’s pickin’ on his cover of Joe Shaver’s ‘Fast Train to Georgia’ is insane, how one can’t stop what they’re doing to take a listen is beyond me. Mike played one of my all time ‘reminds me of my days in Idaho’ favorites ‘Friends in Low Places’ by Garth Brooks and nailed it! Did he play it because I was there and knew I’m a country girl from Idaho? I doubt it, but a girl can dream.
