Note concerning “LFTM”: when Mattie was in high school, we were able to combine Mattie’s soloing with this fun track that we had produced previously…and as a result, connect Mattie’s growing artistry with Matt, along with these other fine musicians.

Mattie, as a young musician, was able to perform live with Matt on a couple of occasions. Matt also made a great artistic contribution as part of the “Michigan Christmas Air” project, and of course has his own huge legacy, musical and otherwise.

These recorded memories join with so many others as we reflect upon Matt Michaels. Please click here to read more about Matt.
