      spungbub that’s irrelevant to his point. It doesn’t matter what his music is “supposed to be” how many times in your life will you ever get to see someone this good right there in front of you? Now we have people who mumble rap and shit and concerts are people on there phone. Person to person how could you ignore this. Who gives a shit what it’s “suppose to be” “it’s suppose to be in the background” well that’s a fucking shame then.

    Ok, at the risk of sounding like EVERYBODY else.. This guy is incredible. He has PERFECT pitch and can nail just about every song as good, or better than the original artists. His voice has such range.
    Does he still perform there? I'm thinking about making a cross country trip for pizza.

      Thought exactly the same thing when I discovered MM doing "Timothy" by Jet about 15 years ago!! After killing "Timothy" (as you said, BETTER than the original!), I was in fucking TEARS after listening to him for the first time, NOBODY claps, and the PA goes, "...table 6, your pizza is ready...". His bass player dead-panned, "...there's like 3 people here..." Unbelievable!! I have regrettably never made it to see Mike Masse live, my bad

    ...such an amazing guitarist and vocalist who is absolutely giving incredible performances every time he is there...and yet is still playing in such a 'cold" place where people dont even bother to clap out of respect for his sincere effort...how sad and pathetic it is to notice once again that quality is endlessly and continiously underestimated...

    Finally a cover that actually includes the part that starts "If my fist clenches crack it open"., it seems it's too hard for most people.

      I love when a vocalist is articulate as well as musical and emotional. It doesn't hurt that he's using one of the best stage vocal microphones you can buy; the Neumann KMS 105. I have one and if I ever give it up it'll be because someone pried it out of my cold, dead fingers.

    When you have a voice, the emotion and the feelings, each song seems effortless. Pete and Roger what shit on themselves if they heard this. What's ticking me off is the lack of appreciation from the patrons at the restaurant. He is a $100 a ticket world class performer.

    If this was 40 years ago, and he had some original songs, he'd be on tour with a well known band. But since our music has gone to hell in a hand basket, and people have no taste anymore, he's playing in a pizza place. Wish he was in our town.
