WatercolorPainting

When I retired, I thought it would be fun to try my hand at painting...and I thought Watercolors would be the easiest. Wrong ! The secret continues to elude me, but I keep trying various techniques ... perhaps one day it will all come together. Meanwhile, I humbly show my work so far. Thanks for visiting - Mike

Mike Songs

At my age (73), the voice is beginning to crack around the edges a little and I'll apologize in advance for that... still, I do love to sing and everyone here has been so non-judgemental that I'm encouraged to offer a few more songs. Whatever I'm able to sing are my own versions of the songs, so I may take a few liberties here and there. especially with the phrasing. I hope you'll enjoy a few of these very simple arrangements of my favorite oldies.

Mike Stories

This page will be where I'll keep some of my personal stories. Every family has them and few are written down, but are instead passed on to our children in the oral tradition. The "Bible Stories" are not mine, they were composed by my late mother-in-law, Elvie McClennan who lived with us for the last 15 years of her life. She was a multi-talented lady and I loved her very much.

Classical Guitar Solos

I hope you'll hear one or two pieces that you recognize, although you may not have heard them played on the guitar before. (a few are my own arrangements) Note: not all selections were recorded with the same microphone, so there may be comparative variations in audio quality

Digital Photo Art

These are photos I've converted into watercolor and acrylic "paintings". After cropping, the photo is filtered with a one-time pass through the "dry brush" filter in Photoshop. Then a very faint image of the photo ( resized) is printed on 90 lb cold press watercolor paper (Aquarius) and in some cases onto 'canvas paper'. The photo is then enhanced by over-painting with watercolors, watercolor pencils or acrylics.

Choral Singing

My wife Nancy and I have been singing in church choirs and civic choruses since we met 55 years ago. We are still moved to tears while singing this glorious music.

Dear friend,

This time I'm bringing a beautiful remix of Alyssia Vibha Sharma (original female singer) with popular band Punjabi Hit Squad.
By coincidence I happened to work with Alyssia back in 2001-2 in London when I was not into Karaoke singing until recently when I started recording, mixing and singing.

Please watch video/Audio. Due to compression quality of audio file is reduced in Video song but you can listen to audio file as well.

I'd like to thank you all for all your enthusiastic support and suggestions to improve my work.
Due to copyright issues my MP3 file disappears again and again. If this happens please let me know.
