His work on Bonnie "Prince" Billy's album called Sings Greatest Palace Music is some of the most tasteful steel ever laid down. Check it out if you can...

Mike is the best in the biz ! I got to hear Mike play his Show Pro at the Texas Steel Guitar show this past year and I believe it was the best overall tone of the event. You remain my hero Mike !
