I am not the guy to be doing RIPs on UA-cam videos, but I've got 20 years of affection for this guy that I've never met, I don't know anybody in real life who knows of him, and I've gotta put it somewhere. RIP to a real one, a gentle soul, and clearly a hell of a friend.
I have also been a fan since the late 90’s, the crazy thing is I have talked to him and Mark, back when the internet was still brand new they had a webpage that sold merch and coven vhs tapes signed, on the site it had a random phone number that said call Mike, so I called it and he actually answered! He literally just started talking to me like we where friends it was really cool, I also emailed Mark and he responded, I was in the military at the time so we talked about that and I asked if I could buy him a beer if I ever made it out to Menomonee Falls, he said anytime. These two guys and uncle bill put a smile on my face in some dark times. Rip Mike and Bill long live Mark.
Mike was a man who I one day strive to be like. HIs carefree and wondrous charm is part of what made him one of the best. He never and will never fail to make me laugh my ass off. Fly high mike!
Mike is so cool. I love how poised he is. He's so calm! No excessive movement there. Love him! Love the way he lets out a breath of relief at the end. Legend.
Nice that Mike was able to meet such a lovely person. They're two peas in a pod. I wish my wife shared my interest in music as much as this lovely woman did with Mike.
i saw an indie film where the main characters name was Scooby and they made a movie about him called American Scooby and Mike Schank has a cameo at the premiere. (none speaking)
when he was in american movie, he seemed like he was having trouble because he'd just got off the drugs. but know he sounds a lot more energetic and coherent. good for him!
Love your choice of the Blues, guys. However, I really dig the Delta kind. I got to see John Lee Hooker play in Minneapolis once. It was amazing! Goosebumps...

Yeah, would have loved to have a chat and listen to some tunes with him.
He was the best friend we never had.
He was a kind and gentle man.

Mike Schank
EXCITER FUCKING RULES YEAAA MIKE!!!
"You guys ever go swimming at Venice Beach?"
Could anyone please help me find "Songs I know" album by Schank?
Danny Phillips - I own it. I bought it long ago after seeing the movie when it was first released on DVD.
Is this clip from a documentary or what is it?
what is the song in the beginning
+brandonsexywhitaker acoustic cover of mr bojangles
who's kate schank?
it does have that spinal tap feel, but i heard from people who seen him in real life that he`s always like this, probably due to his drugs past :P
I watched American Movie thinking it was fake like Spinal Tap or Trailer Park Boys and liked it but when I understood it was real I loved it.
@@Blas4ublasphemy oh wow what a blast to the past! u replied to an 11 years old post of mine ^^
It’s alright it’s ok
@able506 Standing up all the time diet??
