The Independent artist sptolight, broadcast 253: Mike Benoit

Hello everyone. Welcome to the Independent spotlight for this week, program 253. On this program, we're going to feature the music of Mike Benoit. Mike has quite a number of items and he's continuing to release. Back in September, we baught his entire collection which at the time had 106 releases. We had 63 of them, downloaded over 70, and we'll take a subset of some of this wkork. Mike lives in Cannon, New Hampshire. His latest album has liner notes that indicates that resembles the winter season. This is because those people who may be antisocial can relate to winter because they don't need to be out in the frigid cold which it can be in some parts of the country and world. Mike, as well as other artists have liner notes like this to talk about the album. Not every album has these notes, but all have released dates. That album was released on the 13th. But we'll see what kinds of trouble we can get in to by playing a good lot of his music today. Some are your typical song, while some may be short form to mid form pieces.
