Yeah, this guy is a part of the Berkeley experience. If you went to Cal and never stopped on your way to class to zone out to his music, you missed out.
I saw Michael playing in SF a little over a yr ago, blew me away, a super guy, virtuoso, what a beautiful ethereal sound he makes, I bought his album, awesome!
I only thought today to look for him here. I met him MANY times on the streets of San Francisco when I lived there. He sounds just as otherworldly as ever, and even more practiced! Bravo!
This guy never fails to stop foot traffic. You simply can't believe what you're hearing. I've been going to Berkeley for 27 years and have been lucky enough to have seen him in person. Buy his records.
Pure magic - the video barely does his sound justice. Hearing this live is a very uplifting experience.

I remember for a few years my brother was inspired enough by this dulsimer player to try and learn it himself.
I only have track 9 from the cymbalenuim album by Masley

Saw him playing in front of the Game Developers Conference a few years ago and bought both CDs he had available. Did not regret it.

This guy is a major part of the experience of living in Berkeley. As important as the greenery ambush dude in SF.

Just saw him in Berkeley last week - truly amazing! You can buy one of his CDs from his self-serve table or find Cymbalennium online.
