   Michael Nicholson Our resident "lead guitarist," Mike also does back-ground vocals behind Adam's crooning. (Maybe those years in men's vocal quartet paid off after all.) Growing up in the so-called "slums" of Eagle Place, Brantford with his musician parents, partway through high school Mike dropped his clarinet in favour of an electric guitar. We've tried to convince him to bring back the clarinet, but to no avail. Well, anyways, here's Mike's take on things:

If you'd like to send him cookies, a free guitar, or fine white powder in the mail, he's a pretty trusting guy, so ask him for his address. (Or phone number, girls... He's a cutie.)
