OK, Happy New Year! 2012 had some positive things happen for "The Vibesman" and now 2013 is here!

Moving on

Although a Grammy nomination would have great, I'm very happy with the overall response to CD and thanks to those who supported it! I''ve spent the past couple of months writing some new music. Looking forward to locking in some work for the group and moving onto the next project!

Thanks again to one and all! –Mike Freeman
