Michael, my head has been hurting badly for 14 years now. I am always looking for beautiful and peaceful music to stay calm and close to the Spirit. Thank you for sharing your gorgeous gift of music and your spirit. My head thanks you too!❤
Michael, Wasn't "Touch" out of print for a number of years? I remember going to L.A. or San Francisco, finding the smooth jazz station (all history these days because big groups now own all the airwaves) and "In a Quiet Place" was being played. Thanks for reaching out. Quite a nice gesture, sir. (love your music) There 's a guy in London, Rod Lucas, that has a show "Best Smooth Jazz." You might want to reach out to him for some air play. He's forever getting copyright strikes against him, but many of us buy music because we hear it on that show. (Music moguls are business idiots). :-)) Best, AL
mike what a gift our LORD has bless you with so you can bless us IN HIS NAME.I HOPE YOU WILL RELEASE ANOTHER WORK SOON ALONG WITH SAM AS WELL..i miss you guys,wes.
Thanks for sharing this one, Mike. I have been a fan since I bought "Hip" in 1991. In '92, I found a promo copy of "Touch" and a Sam Cardon record you did, too, in a pawn shop. Think of the odds!!! My wife and kids are all MD fans too, and I hope you all the best, man. Anyway, thanks again, and I look forward to more! -Alan Lynes alanlynesDOTcom
Consider me blown away. I've seen a lot of guitarists here on UA-cam, but none have inspired me to play more than you. VERY WELL DONE!!! Keep 'em coming. :-)
This is one of my favorite pieces from Touch. Thanks for posting this, Michael. BTW, the sound quality is top-notch. I've always hated miking my classicals, but your setup sounds fantastic.
I have been watching your playing quite a while, and I can not stop subscribing. You have great taste on your gear , in your song wrtting and playing style, and by the way, that is a wonderful crib you got there! Expecting more and more excellent pieces of art that you create!
After...my cancer dx im so grateful to have your music to listen to. God bless you and your family. This is the time to apprise the blessed ones of God's special gifts.
It's about time you got on UA-cam, Michael. I''ve been a fan for mannny years, and have looked for you here periodically. What a great treat to see you play!
Wow, that was amazing!!!! My girlfirend and I loves this song and when she walks down the aisle on our wedding day she wants this to be playing. Great work!!!!
Thanks a lot. I will keep pluggin on these. I have tons of material. I am actually writing a new fusion piece like Etude and it will be only available on youtube. When I master it I will record it and post it. MD
One of my absolute favorites. I feel so confident this piece was used by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for a video but I can't seem to put my finger on what video it was.
Thank you so much! There is a high probability. I give them complete permission to use any of my work. In fact I am currently in the process of giving all the Hymn recordings to the Church so that they can own it outright and use it anyway they want. 🙏
Thank you very much. It means a lot coming from someone like you. unfortunately I have not done any tabs or notation of any of my original compositions. It just takes time that I don't have I guess. MD
Great song, Michael. I hope you'll play this song in Raalte. Stanley did a great job to bring you to Raalte again. By the way, are there any tabs from this cd ? Cees
Michael Dowdle It would be awesome. I have always wanted to thank you for all the good music over the years. I remember being able to always distinguish your playing on the seminary songs in the early, early 90's and other albums, Jeff Goodrich's being my favorites. Your hymn CD was a blessing on my mission as we could only listen to hymns and the Tabernacle Choir. Thank you.
Hey Michael, Is this the same Michael that I met at the old Herger Music store in downtown Provo in the late 70's? (a young rocker with hair down to his shoulders) Anyway, absolutely beautiful!
Michael, my head has been hurting badly for 14 years now. I am always looking for beautiful and peaceful music to stay calm and close to the Spirit. Thank you for sharing your gorgeous gift of music and your spirit. My head thanks you too!❤
Thanks Connie!🙏 I am so sorry that you suffer so. 😔 It. warms my heart to know that my music helps to comfort you! ❤️
Where anyone may kneel, I also come to ask for grace, believing You can heal.....wonderful news.....beautiful playing
Amen Tim! Thanks so much 🙏
Let's not say how long ago I fell in love with this song...searched for "Touch" for years and finally, It's mine...all mine. AL
I am so happy you found it! Thanks so much!😊

すごく落ち着くいい曲や
Thanks so much!
Terrific! Thanks for the nod.
Love the dissonant chords and finger picking

Thanks a lot! I appreciate your kindness. Play on! MD
@palmshb Thanks! I am happy that you like it! :)
It looks like one person accidentally clicked the wrong rating button.
Poetry in motion on the fretboard!
One of my absolute favorites. I feel so confident this piece was used by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for a video but I can't seem to put my finger on what video it was.

@darhar4 You are very kind. Thank you. Most people like to be contemplative at times. Some don't however. It is all good!
@nondescript11 Glad to have you aboard! Thank You!
Great song, Michael. I hope you'll play this song in Raalte. Stanley did a great job to bring you to Raalte again. By the way, are there any tabs from this cd ?
Cees
THANK YOU! See you then! MD
Ever thought about coming up to Cache Valley and doing concert up here?
Love Cache Valley! My pioneer ancestors settled in Franklin. Thanks so much! Not doing many concerts anymore but that would be fun for sure.
Michael Dowdle It would be awesome. I have always wanted to thank you for all the good music over the years.

Thanks Justin! I am delighted that my recordings have been a blessing in your life! It warms my heart 😊
