This song was inspired by the novel "Christine" written by Stephen King, copyright 1983 by Viking Press. I've always loved the story but felt that one character didn't get much of a chance to express his side of things. This song is my attempt to give him a voice.

Christine

Prog-rockish testimonial to the power of walking away.

Walking Wounded

This is the flip side to 12:47. "If you want something done right, you sometimes have to do it yourself."

Cheap

Never bait the devil when it comes to games of chance.

Michael Kazalski is Michael K, bassist, at least according to a former bandleader who had trouble with his last name. No trouble with his style on bass, though, which draws from practically everything he's ever heard. 

He likes to tell stories, in his playing and in his writing. Hailing from upstate New York by way of Texas, he's currently living in southeastern Virginia where he plays old rock, new rock, Southern rock, blues, swing, old and new country, and whatever else gets people dancing. There's even a jazz trio on his CV. 

He mostly plays bass in public, although he can occasionally be seen in the wild with a trombone in his hand. The studio is a different story. In there he plays everything that can be heard on his tracks, a laundry list including bass (of course,) vocals, and drums, along with various keyboards and low brass instruments. The DIY approach is a challenge he set himself long ago and he's happy he's finally able to rise to it. 

Enjoy!
