Band Members:MICHAEL "B" Piano, Keyboards, Lead Guitar, Rhythm Guitar, Dobro, Harmonica, Bass, Drums, Strings and Pedal Steel Guitar and any thing else you might hear on my recordings. I have another identity in the music world too. I've been known as the KEYBOARD KOWBOY. I have a web page at WWW.BETARECORDS.COM/KEYBOARD.KOWBOY . Check it out. Occasionaly, I use Ken Mehlhaff on Lead Guitar, (whenever he comes into town). Oh, by the way, this guy can really pick a telecaster. He is the MASTERCASTER on the TELECASTER in the Albuquerque area. He will have his own CD out later this year. You will be able to find it on my website, FREEDOMEXPRESSRECORDS.COM when it is finished. Another super tele-picker here in Albuquerque is Danny Winters. A spirit filled guitarist who plays everything from classical, jazz, christian. country and you name it. I definitly will use Danny on some recording sessions here in my studio on specific songs where I'm looking for a certain sound. GOD BLESS EVERYONE AND - - '''''Thanks for checking out my site.
