Mike Finnigan - Saved By The Grace Of Your Love

[Zseboys3]

Best tunes, best singer, best---period. I'm still pissed we can't get these records on CD. Anybody have "Southern Ladies", "Ace in the Hole", "I Could Never Leave You", Break Out the Bottle"...? Or just anything!! His music was in very heavy rotation in the soundtrack of my life since the '70's, Thanks a million times.

I have been following Mike since 1965 in Wichita. I have always loved this song. This is one of America's musical treasures. He is one of those guys that if he couldn't play at all, could sell his chops and if he couldn't sing could sell his licks. A fabulous player and a fantastic singer. If this song doesn't move you I feel sorry for you and hope that someday it will.

@john9944 Wow-Wish I could have put it that well. Thanks for the fine comment. You nailed it on the head.

@hoopskmccann-I still am in frequent communication with Finn after all these years. He has been on a European tour with Joe Cocker. You may have heard this but one of my favorite songs by Finn is "Sweet Misery." If you haven't heard it for a while it is on Youtube. Look it up under "Mike Finnigan KAKE 1992." Is the hoops in your name related to basketball? I am a basketball skills coach and work with high level players. My partner is a former player as well as a former NBA head coach.

@john9944 Could not agree more with you. He will always be an all time favorite of mine-even if few others know who he is. Makes him all that more special.

thanks for the comment.

@kcshocker11 Its most certainly Cry cry cry...MF never did a tune called My my my...Its the Finnigan and Wood version of the famous Bobby blue bland tune!

[kcshocker11]

Do you have MY MY MY

[hoopskmccann]

I have Cry Cry Cry-not familiar with My My My-was it recorded and if so when-I have serfs, finnigan and wood, 2 solos on columbia and the unreleased closure lp by finnigan and wood. but it is not on any of them

[bluesboyshocker]

@hoopskmccann My My My was on the Finnigan and Wood album. If you have it PLEASE post it. One of my favorite songs ever

[kcshocker11]

I ask Mike if he ever performed this anymore. He said wow thats an old one, havent done that in years.

[hoopskmccann]

yeah he is one o f the best darn blues voices and players around, but he can do a whole lot of other things too and this is a prime example.

Thanks for the comment.

[southmarz]

Great tune. I liked the vid also...

[hoopskmccann]

Hey thanks a lot for the comment. The man can sing, can't he?

[emsdallas]

Thank you sooooo much for posting this. I've been searching and almost gave up.

I've been a fan of Mike forever, I really miss seeing him live at the Coyote in Wichita.

[hoopskmccann]

You are lucky to have those memories-I was in school in Atchison back then and got a few chances to catch the serfs.

[hoopskmccann]

Thanks-been meaning to get this uploaded for weeks-glad you liked it. Hope you are feeling better.
