I missed Mike's show yesterday because I had an outdoor gig at the time.
I'm looking forward to listening to it this week.
Join me as you can listen anytime 24/7 to his show.
There should be no excuses.
Mike puts in several hours each week to provide this material which can be found nowhere else on the internet.
Do him and yourself a favor and listen to him @ www.swinginwest.com
