    Scott Slusher and Ken Benson were in a band with me in high school, so they drove out from CO for this little reunion gig. It was fun, but a bit rough around the edges, since we only had the weekend to rehearse.
    Performed by Mike Massé, Scott Slusher and Ken Benson on 3/22/10 at the Pie Pizzeria in Salt Lake City, Utah.

      I loaded all the songs from this event into a play list and listen to it all the time. You have a great voice and I think it's a true talent to perform all these songs often times better than the original. Keep up the good work!

      Oh snap I forgot like you did law I kept thinking you were teacher but you're a lawyer a public defender meaning that you didn't make any money I understand I taught law for 15 years... I can't even keep a straight face you're cracking me up seriously "most likely to sing a closing argument" Mike, that is so that is so absolutely hysterically funny, goodness gracious I honestly have no... I don't even know how to respond to that. ROTFLMAO

      Most people who take up music with big dreams realize years later they're not gonna make it big and eventually stop practicing. But you sir are an inspiration that has made me pick up my guitar once again, and I will be happy if I reach my goal of becoming half as good as you!

    Original performers sing live and don't care about the voice pitch, Mike is very aware of this important detail, so that he often sing better than the original.

    @cleigh8753 5 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    OMG, this is so spot on and beautifully performed to perfection. Mike's unbelievable ability to inhabit and transform his voice to match and sound like the original performer just blows my mind. From Simon and Garfunkel, David Bowie, Elton John, Radio Head, Toto,.. he's does it and pulls it off masterfully. Also the insane guitar accompaniment makes it a total cream of the crop of performances.

    Lyrics, so we can all sing along :)
    I close my eyes only for a moment, and the moment's gone
    All my dreams pass before my eyes, a curiosity
    Dust in the wind, all they are is dust in the wind
    Same old song, just a drop of water in an endless sea
    All we do crumbles to the ground, though we refuse to see
    Dust in the wind, all we are is dust in the wind
    Now, don't hang on, nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky
    It slips away, and all your money won't another minute buy
    Dust in the wind, all we are is dust in the wind (all we are is dust in the wind)
    Dust in the wind (everything is dust in the wind), everything is dust in the wind (the wind)

    As a lifelong guitar player, i have watched several of your videos and this is just raw professional grade talent. Pete Townsend said in an interview I saw "Lot's of people can play guitar and sing but you have to take all that and make something more" You have done that and it's incredible. I don't know if it's your intention to make it big or just have fun but whatever it is you wish for, I hope it all comes through and your talents are recognized!
