Welcome To The New Web Site
Hello Everyone!
And, Thanks for stopping by!
This is the first week of our new interactive web site, and there is alot of new things going on. So, lets get started !
First, If your like I am, and your not to sure what a blog page is? Well, this is one. Basically, it means you and I can interact right here on the front page of this site. I’ll post new information, songs, pictures etc…then you can respond by leaving comments, pictures, etc…Sounds like a Blast!
We will be doing updates on a weekly if not daily basis. If your really hip to this stuff, and I know most of you are. You can RSS the site, and you will be notified as soon as anything new is posted.
Ok, we’ve got the tech stuff out of the way, now on to the band info.
The new CD is being pressed right now, along with 2nd & 3rd pressing of “You Done Did It” & “Get Offended - Live”.
A new Michael Locke T shirt designed by American Fighter (Thanks guys!) is being made as we speak. Really coooool design.
The new CD is a compilation of studio recordings from San Francisco, Florida, & Ohio. It has many special guests including Johnny Nitro, Tommy Castro, Stan Waldman, Tommy DeQuattro and many more. I will be posting some of the songs on the site for free, for Everyone. Hope you enjoy the music as much as I did making it. Oh yea, you can let me know. Just hit the comment button!
I’m not sure if most of you would prefer to have digital downloads of the new CD or an old fashioned disc in a jewel case? So, I’m only going to press a limited amount of CDs (500). Unless I get a ton of pre orders.
You guys decide!!
We are planning CD release party’s in the month of May in Ohio at Gillys in Dayton, in Nashville TN at The Burbon St Blues & Boogie Bar, and in Indianapolis, IN at The Slippery Noodle.
I hope everyone can get out to see us several times this year. Please let me know what you think of the new CD, T Shirt, & Web site. Remember, stay tuned, this page will be changing often!!
Thanks Again for stopping by.
From the Heart!
Michael
Hey Michael, Like the new website. The ability to interact with everyone who comes here should be a lot of fun!
I’m really looking forward to It!
Thanks!!!
Michael,
Great start on the new website!
Looking forward to the new CD. By the way, I’m kind of an old-fashioned guy - I’d prefer the new music on an actual CD. But, if you decide to keep your costs down and go with the digital version only, I’ll burn my own copy so I can play it in my vehicles that don’t have an adapter for my iPod.
Also, I’m really looking forward to the Nashville and Indy gigs - I’m thinking “road trip”. There’s no reason some of your fans can’t get together and make the trips. I’m sure you’d like to look out at the audience and see some familar faces. It’s a great excuse to get out of town for a few days!
I especially want to thank you for becoming an endorsee for my new guitar amplifier line. It’s a real privilege to be working with a world-class player. I’m looking forward to a long, mutually beneficial realtionship. And, if anyone who visits your website needs something in the way of amplifier work, or even a new amp, they can certainly visit my website at sandsamps.com where they can view some of my amp models and get contact information. (Sorry about the cheap plug!)
One more thing. Thanks for helping to keep the Blues alive in Dayton with what has become the town’s longest-running Blue Jam, every Thursday at the Oregon Express. Those of us who get to play each week really appreciate the chance to take care of our “guitar Jones”.
Keep the music coming!!!!!
Mike Safreed
Thanks Mike!
I’ll be posting a blog soon on the new amp.
Sounds Great!
love your new web site as always your playing was impecable,can,t wait to see you again! miss you
love your new web site as always your playing was impecable,
Heya Michael –
This is a really nice new thing you have going here. I’d like to echo Mr. Safreed in expressing Big Thanks for providing an outlet to all the currently-between-assignments players in town. Most especially for the harp players, whom you allow to bring in a rig if they choose.
As to the new stuff coming out, if I had my druthers, I’d opt for the cd. As you may know, I’m somewhat technically challenged. So other than screaming “What, No Vinyl?!”, may I use this to officially put in a reservation for one of the new cd’s? And speaking of which, is the title of said cd determined yet or remain a closely guarded secret?
See you soon.
Let’s Swing One!
Your Pal,
jeb
Thanks so much Steve!
I miss you too!
I can’t wait to get back to South Florida, and see all my old friends, and play some guitar in the heat!!

Brad

I really like the new website and the ability to interact. I’d like at least 3 of the new CD’s. I’m giving 2 of them as gifts to friends. My friend Jamie and his band are going to practice some blues so they can come out to the OE. He had a great time playing the drums last week. Hope to see ya soon.
Keep Smilin’
