Michael, you have recently been working with Boston. How did that come about?

Michael: My wife was really sick and during that time, the singer from Boston committed suicide. I got an email from a guy who runs a Boston fan site and he asked me if I wanted to comment on his death. I did and he posted it and Tom Schultz read it and contacted me and asked me to play a benefit show. From there it went from me singing one song to me singing three songs and playing guitar for the whole set. Now he’s asked me to record with them and tour with them. So I am facing the fact that they are not Christians but they have been a better example of Christianity to me than even some Christians. No drugs, no drinking, polite as can be and very giving. Their music and lyrics are clean. I prayed about it and I felt like it was okay for me to do it and I did it.

So will you do that tour with Boston and when it might happen?

Michael: I’m not going to say absolutely, but the way it works is they only do something once the planets align. So once the planets align, yes I will do something with them. Tom has invited me to be a part of it and we’ll see what happens?
