sometime you have to tell people they should not mess with you


My Monkey Is Not Your Monkey

you’re coming on strong
looking for something
a place to belong
or play with the monkey

my monkey is not your monkey
I’ll make it clear, get outta here
my monkey is not your monkey

there’s no grand design
bridge under repair
you will now find
you can’t go there

my monkey is not your monkey
I’ll make it clear, get outta here
my monkey is not your monkey

still pond with birdsong
9 lives and counting

my monkey is not your monkey
I’ll make it clear, get outta here
my monkey is not your monkey

My Monkey Is Not Your Monkey

MIDIMike is a nick name I got when working at musical instrument stores as a young man.  MIDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface - I got the job because I was one of the few people in the city that understood and could program the new digital synthesizers!
Over the last 50 years, I have run sound for live gigs, recorded and produced music and videos in my home studio and performed with other bands.  Now that I have retired I wanted to release some of the tunes I have written over the years.  
I write, play and record all my music at home.  I am lucky to have talented musicians join in for some session work and I feature different vocalists and guitarists in my collection of songs.
I am not mainstream and every song is different, so I hope you settle in and try a few of them out!    
Here's to all the music creators out there - it is never too late!
