Mike I still listen to your cd I bought off you, just wanted you to know I still like it.. are you still doing the open mics? if you are, that would be a great place to play your new songs.. think you said once Boston is strict about busking in the public, so that's probably not an option..

Dayne - the open mic I was running in New Hampshire since June is taking a winter hiatus - the club wanted to reduce their BMI/ASCAP/SECAM licensing fee for a while, so have cut back to music 3 nights a week. Will wait and see if they want to start it again in the spring. I wasn't looking forward to driving there during the snowy winter to run the OMs. In the warm weather it wa sice, as they had a big overhead door that opened up to a patio area. They're still not drawing in much of a 'regular' crowd, either (I think location and lack of dedicated parking is a big part of it).
I'll do one of my originals tonight at an open mic run by some friends. Going to try to find a playing partner/band one more time after the holidays - I had stopped my searching after wasting weeks with two different guys earlier this year.

A few more days to d/l for $0 from bandcamp (link in original post). There are some excerpts of songs on my BM player.

Congratulations Mike. Getting it done!

Today's the last day to d/l the whole album for free ("name your own price") at http://mikebirchmusic.bandcamp.com .
After that, you'll have to steal it or pay for it!

way to go mike.....thanks for putting the previews up on your page. i'll be ordering up a DL at somewhere betwixt the free and $10 price.

Would you mind if I e-mailed you?
I'll have to admit I haven't been following all your threads. I've been a bit overwhelmed these last few months but I have some specific questions to ask you (if you are willing to answer them?)

Thanks

Just sent you a PM with my email address, as they tend to get truncated on this forum.

And to all: I'm not insulted if you don't care for my tunes, as its more on the 'commercial' side than a lot of other stuff I hear here.

Almost sold out of my batch of CDs! Going to be playing a feature set at an upcoming jam as a 'CD Release Party' and have the house band join me on one of my older songs, then do the new stuff acoustically. Should be fun!

Knock em' dead.....good luck and have fun. Pictures or video?

Supposed to be a local news rag guy there who said he would video, but I'll set up my camera on a minipod, too.
