    This song reminds me of my childhood to adolescence, where there was a moment of peace, my parents were alive, my family was together and I just had to worry about going to school. On vacation I played outdoors with my friends, we had family gatherings, and I spent the entire vacation playing video games. Ahh the 90s, how good life is and at the same time it goes by so fast, I miss it.

      I saw these guys several times when I lived in Park City, UT and it's no joke, the crowd gives a forced, gently clap afterwards. I think they are spoiled though because they play at The Pie so much. Mike has since moved to Denver, and I've turned a couple friends onto him and they love him. Him and Jeff are super nice guys and super talented. Highly recommend catching a show if you can.

    It's shame that people like these guys who actually have talent find it hard to get a break. They don't need a stupid music video with cash falling everywhere, fast cars and girls in bikini's walking in slow motion. And the people who appreciate their music aren't screaming teenage girls!

    Greg Mitchell
    As a singer, cover performer, guitarist I am super-critical of other cover acts. Found Mike Massé on Spotify on some acoustic cover playlist two weeks ago, now it’s all I have been bumping in the car. I’m most impressed when he pulls out a song like “Leader of the Band” and actually nails the fingerstyle. Mike’s incredible talent goes without saying, but what is most remarkable is his uncanny attention to detail. Lots of talented acts out there, but the ones that can forensically scrub, and then memorize every note in their repertoire are among the elite. Would love to play a gig with this guy.

    Normally I would never say a cover is better than the original, but this is and exception. Mike, your falsetto is perfect! Brenda, the vocals are hauntingly beautiful. Dolores would be proud.

    • @mikemasse
      @mikemasse  6 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Thanks. I completely agree about Brenda's voice. It's every bit as cool and unique as Dolores', in it's own way. I got the pleasure of being a backup musician for one of Brenda's bands in college called Gathering Osiris, doing all their originals. We even won a local Battle of the Bands, and got a free trip to NXNW out of it. It was a super cool experience, getting to hear her sing so much.
