It was all there."-JEFF WHATLEY / recording artist"Working with Mike is always a pleasure and a privilege. He has incredible focus, creativity, vision and dedication to his art.

He truly understands and feels the song that he is playing. He's not only laying it down, he's an integral part of the songwriting process that is occurring at the given moment. And to top it all off, he's a great guy who is professional and alot of fun to be around."-PAUL ATKINSON, Singer/songwriter-"Mike's great chops are obvious from the first listen, but if you really sit down and spend some time digging in to what he's up to, you realize he's not just driving the band rhythmically, he's also using his kit to sing his own melodies and harmonies in and around the tune. Needless to say, that's a rare and hugely important thing to be part of."- MIKE BABYAK, seasoned guitar and lapsteel player (Mike Babyak's Triple Fret, Steve Kimock, Jim Kost)-"Rosado's got the goods....the roots, the ears, the smarts, and the chops.
