  MJ + MN symphony orchestra
Posted by: pob - 06-18-2019, 09:51 PM - Forum: Michael Discussion - Replies (2)

Cindy,
In June 2000 MJ did a concert with the MN symphony orchestra.  I'm very curious how this played out. Do you have any video or audio of this event? Not sure how a symphony wouldn't overwhelm 1 guy and his guitar but I'd love this!

Another gem from the 1975 Guthrie concert. Would have been a much better recording than this 1970 slightly distorted version I have to share with you.

  My encounter with Michael Johnson...
Posted by: JBlast - 06-09-2019, 10:08 PM - Forum: Michael Discussion - Replies (1)

Thank you for the add to this forum...
I had just seen recently of Michael's passing and was saddened to hear that he was gone. I found this forum and wanted to share an experience I had meeting Michael Johnson.
In 1987, I was fortunate enough to meet Michael and hear him do some short acoustic sets in a small lounge in Watertown, SD.
My band was playing at a motel lounge in Watertown, SD, sometime in late fall of 1987.
We were about to start our show when this man came up and asked if he could take the stage and play some acoustic sets during our breaks. We were a bit skeptical because we had no idea who this guy was. He then said his name was Michael Johnson and that he was the writer/performer of the song, "Bluer Than Blue", among others. We were all fairly young in '87, but we'd all heard this song on the radio in the past. Apparently he had produced some kind of proof of his identity to our lead singer, so we agreed to let him play. I'm so glad we did! At one point, he played "Bluer Than Blue" and that definitely was proof of who he was!
I didn't get to have a long, in depth conversation with him, but did find out his being there when we were was by pure chance. He just happened to be traveling to his home in Minnesota and chose to stay at the motel who's lounge we were playing in and thought he'd ask if he could do some songs to pass the evening.
I did get to talk to him long enough to know that he was a really nice, laid back guy.
It is an experience, although I don't remember every detail, I will never forget who he was and that we were fortunate to be able to share a stage with him for a night.
Thank you, Michael, for the experience. May you rest in peace as you sit in and play the great gig in the sky...

  The song, "Something That We Do"

Michael's rendition of "Something That We Do" is so wonderful.  Michael's voice and the lyrics of this song are so hauntingly beautiful.  Peter

  Michaels mentoring/ support of up and coming artists
Posted by: universalshine@aol.com - 05-29-2019, 05:13 AM - Forum: Michael Discussion - No Replies

I am wondering if anyone out there is aware of any mentoring or supporting of up-and-coming artists that Michael may have been doing in his later years?  if so I would love to hear in the hopes that I could support this particular type of artist in part as a remembrance of Michaels work in this way.

  A Friend of Mine is Going Blind - YT audio
Posted by: Cindy M - 05-27-2019, 05:48 PM - Forum: MJ YouTube - Replies (2)

A Friend of Mine is Going Blind. Last YouTube upload for today. Now I can make the others public again (after conferring with my website advisor). If it causes problems with you know who, I'll change them back to unlisted. I wanted to do this after uploading 3 new songs as I've read the max YT notifications for those who have subscribed is 3. This song may not be new for everyone as I've had the MP3 on this site for many years but I'm hoping some haven't heard it. I have a great story about this song which I've only told once - when we had a MJ fan/friend dinner in MN in 2017. I realized it would have made a good story at Michael's memorial service but I wasn't thinking clearly and didn't feel welcome or included there. So I've decided (long ago) I'll put it on the Your MJ Stories page on this website one of these days. I also promised John Dawson Read the story a couple months ago so I have to get it done soon! I'm also very proud that John and Michael "met" through the message board of this website and they were great admirers of each other.

Another of my top 10s. I probably have several sets of my top 10s. I used to call this song Come On Sunshine for years until Michael and I had a routine name that song and songwriter session.
