Mike Foottit Original Roots and Blues

About Me

Hello from the Spruce Capital of BC. Long winters makes for lots of guitar playing and songwriting as I discovered when I moved north from my original home in South Burnaby outside Vancouver. Here in Prince George I fit music in with work and family. I've played for a long time ( concerts by Rory Gallagher and Lightning Hopkins killed my birdwatching hobby back in the mid 70's! ) but got passionate about it once I had the chance to play live: which happened here in the North, as we call it. Actually, a really bad golf game helped to refocus my energies on something I was good at. I've never smashed a guitar but I did stomp the head off a 6 iron on the 8th green of the PG Golf and Country Club. The guitar has never hooked or sliced for me. Anyway, check out the songs posted here and send a message/request if you like. Got a new CD in the works, will keep you posted. Cheers, MF
