Mike’s Personal Quote:
Every one is unique, no one was ever born or will ever be born with your unique talents. You can effect thousands of people, either in a positive or negative way. Your chose. Your energy depends on you; seek the positive, share your talents, give of yourself to others; then keep your eyes open for all the magic to happen! What are you waiting for?

“Life is only one long line, you can’t get in for seconds, so you’ve got to have fun while your hear”!

And as a fellow Radio Air Talent or (DJ) said once:

“My daddy told me once, as he was sitting next to a pond, while fishing”; “son, everything is life isn’t funny”: as he was reeling in the 6 pack of beer hooked to the end of his fishing line, so as not to alert his wife.
