About Me

Armed with an array of guitars, the occasional banjo, and songs fueled by the many aspects of daily life from the joy and sorrow to love and loss I have always poured one hundred percent of myself into my music. Music is truly a way off life for me on many levels and constantly I am trying new things to push my music forward to further express myself through it. At the early age of fourteen I picked up my sisters sears guitar and began trying to emulate my favorite guitarists from Zakk Wylde, and Rhandy Rhodes of Ozzy Osborne. The crushing rhythms of Black Sabbath as well as many others inspired my early learning on guitar though as time went by I started exploring the softer side of music from Collective Soul, Simon and Garfunkel, Classic Oldies, Delta and Texan blues, and many others. Inspiration has come from so many different sources that too list all of those that have inspired me would take thousands of names from those well known and those very seldom heard of. Music has always been a key foundation to life and society and how great and blessed we are to live in a time that easily you can pick up new music from local sources to music from around the world and all different times in one place. I hope to be able to draw on my many different sources of inspiration and make something one hundred percent unique to myself and invite you along the journey. “Dream Sweet Dreams, and may they become reality in the morning light.” Michael

Member Since: 12/9/2007
Band Website: http://www.youtube.com/user/dancingwiththefire
Band Members: Michael Dickinson on Guitar, Banjo, Tin Whistle, Mountain Dulcimer and whatever else I figure out how to play a note on. Shamrock with the occasional bark or squeak toy in the background of most of my music.
Influences: I have been influenced by all different styles of music but I like to think my biggest influence has been life itself. Every musician out there that puts their heart and soul into their music and remains true to their hearts have been my biggest musical influence. From Woody Guthrie, to Muddy Waters, to Neil young, and countless others I have heard of, and ones I have not.
