This is to my mind better than the previous track, it's crisp in style and it motors. Great backing which supports a very accomplished guitar line excellent piece well done

Hey Mike....very solid material you have...and well played, all in a very good production. I am not hearing a bass deficiency. Neat story about the lessons/studio on your blog. I am enjoying your music considerably. Love your style and drive. Excellent!!
Mike, an FYI for you...this site is loaded with great people and is a musician's community. You would get alot more visibility to your music if you would review/comment on others work as I am doing right now for you. You may be shocked at the interest in your music if you do....and you deserve that! Would also encourage any of your students who are recording to start their pages and post....feedback is always a great thing.
Best to you! ~Blake

Mike, what a gold-mine find. I say your photo among the featured artists, clicked on it, and just dove into you music. This is an excellent instrumental. I love the tone of the guitars and the drive and energy. Like the first song, I think the bass is a tad too far back in the mix. Don't be afraid to bring it up. One trick I use (and I'm a novice at this) is to double the bass. Without really turning it up, the doubled tracks really adds presence and roundness to it.
This one is so damned good, Mike. Great changes and shifts keep it interesting from start to finish. Nice job. Oo-wee, you sho' have a very melodic style.

Instrumental Guitarist Mike Grande has been playing guitar for over 20 years. Mike started teaching guitar at the age of 15. At 16, Mike was performing all over the Tri-State area. Many times Mike needed to have his parents accompany him to play shows because he was too young to get into the local bars. Over the course of twenty plus years, Mike has maintained a steady student clientele while also doing session work in New York City. Mike spent many years performing his own songs live with numerous bands. It wasn’t until 1994 that Mike decided to focus primarily on instrumental music. “Frustrated with rising studio costs, I decided to open my own recording studio”. With nothing more than a reel to reel, a few guitars, an amp, drum machine and some keyboards, Mike was soon writing and recording his own material on a daily basis. Since the nineties, Mike’s home studio evolved into a full recording studio suite, with live rooms, a vocal booth and a state of the art control room. With his new studio, Mike would now be producing, recording and engineering his debut album; ‘My Dash Between the Numbers’. Mike was lucky enough to have Adam Reich assist him in engineering this album. “Adam Reich and Rob Racalbuto have been friends of mine for years. Getting them to play on this album added a dimension to the music that could not have been achieved by anyone else”.
