What I love most about my job is I get to work with so many amazing creatives. While my focus is primarily music production, I love working in other mediums, short films, podcasts, documentaries ect. This past week a local author released his first book, and it’s a fantastic story of his family’s journey. Give it a listen or even better purchase a copy.

Check out this great listen on Audible.com. Gifts from Prometheus explores the social and family circumstances that drove my grandfather from Georgia to Boston in 1917, and the insidious—but no less powerful—forms of racism that forced him to pass for White in 1929 when he joined the B...

So I started to remix “The Beauty of it all” record from Russell Hill recorded live in my studio 14 years ago. Funny story about this recording. The band came into the studio, setup and we started tracking, then Morgan Keating informed me they had to leave in the middle of the day for a gig. So we packed up ,went and played the show came back to the studio and finished the record that day. This is one of my favorites off the cd, so I decided to put together a video for it. Gary Young’s guitar playing is brilliant on this track. Enjoy!

Here is the latest video by Mike Jr. We love how he puts his creative spin on traditional songs. The earliest published addition of "Darlin Corey" was around 1918. It's a well-know American Folk song passed down by oral tradition. It may also be known as "Little Cora" or "Darling Cora".
We are really enjoying these fireside videos and there will be more to come. Please support Mike Junior by subscribing to his channel and give this video a thumbs up! Below I've added the lyrics to the song.

Wake up, wake up darlin cory
Tell me what makes you sleep so sound
The revenue officers are comin
Gonna tear your still house down

[Chorus]
Dig a hole, dig a hole in the meadow
Dig a hole in the cold, cold ground
Dig a hole, dig a hole in the meadow
Gonna lay darlin cory down

Oh the first time I saw darlin cory
She was standin in the door
She had her shoes and her stockings in her hand
And her little bare feet on the floor

Oh the next time I saw darlin cory
She was standin by the banks of the sea
she had a 44 strapped around her body
And a banjo on her knee

Oh the last time I saw darlin cory
She had a wine glass in her hand
She was drinkin that sweet liquor
With a low down gamblin man
