Michael, We are performing Chocolate Moose?! tonight at our 6th grade band concert. We have had a blast learning it and now performing it. Thanks for a very interesting piece! Todd Halverson Band Director Cambria-Friesland Middle School Cambria, WI

Please see message I wrote elsewhere on this page. Just a note to say thank you to you for all you taught me back at Highline HS. In case, I did it wrong with thew message, I'll briefly say here...you were a wonderful inspiration im my life. In my musical life especially. Thank you for believing in me so many years ago!

Hello Michael, While going through some 'ancient' music folders, I discovered a copy of an original piano piece of yours called 'Artesia', which you gave to me signed in 1976. So naturally I had to give it a play and was reminded of both how lovely the music is and that era of my life. Not sure quite how I met you - possibly through Seattle Chamber Singers? Anyway, just wanted you to know I enjoyed that 'blast from the past' and glad to see you are still so much involved doing the music you love. Warm regards, Yana Viniko (formerly Janet Vinikow)
