And now have a son. His name is Mike. I still live in anchorage. I work in Prudhoe Bay, have for the past five years. The past 4 with a non- destructive testing company x-raying the pipelines. We miss him dearly, love having and hearing his music. It was a gift he wanted to share with everyone.

My big brother is in Anchorage, works for a engineering group . He has started a family with his wife Kristen, and now have a

It was less than 10 years ago, more like 7 or 8. I was lucky enough to personally know this man, he taught music classes at all of the elementary schools in Anchorage and I was (still am) best friends with one of his three sons. A truly wonderful and caring soul who was taken from us much too early, RIP Mike "Sourdough Mike" McDonald

@Famz0rz Mike was amazing. I actually did a story about one of Mike's classes for KAKM. He helped the kids compose their own lyrics and melodies and then they performed for their parents. He gave them something special. I hope the 'boys' are doing okay. I know it was rough for them especially after Mike died. My daughter was friends with Sam but has lost touch.

Happy 50th Birthday Alaska. My Grandmother lived in Alaska from 1945 to 1952 before moving back to New York State, she lived in Anchorage, Fairbanks and Palmer. I was able to play this song for my grandmother before she passed away in 2002 after downloading the song off the internet. Once again Happy 50th Birthday 1959 to 2009. Greeting from Pennsylvania USA
