Mike Shapiro is one of the top rated guitarists in San Francisco. This is a CD of songs that he has written that are of the Sixties genre. Mike Shapiro wrote the music for the cult classic "Swami" when he was lead guitarist of the legendary William Penn And His Pals from the San Francisco Bay Area in the Sixties. He has not lost his knack for tasty melodies and memorable lyrics. Take a listen to a few of these songs and I am sure you will agree that "this is good stuff". Mike produced Deja Vu at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley Ca using 2 inch analog tape it has that distinctive warm sound of the Sixties records. A lot of this material is auto-biographical such as the lyrics from the title song Deja Vu: I was pulling on my socks When I got the greatest shock as I looked through the window and out to the wall I realized I'd seen it all before Deja Vu, same for me same for you, Deja Vu After recording this CD Mike has gone on to form Beatrecords.com and has produced another Mike Shapiro CD – Laughing and Singing also available on CDBABY. He is currently working on a new CD and performing in San Francisco regularly. Don't forget to check out other Beatrecords.com artists on CDBABY: OUT-FRONT, The Texas Twister and William Penn And His

I couldn't believe how great this CD is. I am a fan of Sixties music and it is really great to hear someone still producing music with great melodies and a fantastic feel. Just like hearing new stuff back then. Timothy Simmons Read more...
