Mike Fischer is 61. He's been a singer/songwriter forever but started writing them down early in the 70's. Mike played with some Christian Rock'n Roll Bands in the 70's about the same time as he started having children. His first son, Zeph, joined Mike on stage at a gig at Latrobe University when he was still 4 years old. The band was taking a break and it just sort of happened that Mike asked him up to sing a couple songs. Zeph upstaged the band and completely stole the show. Mike had been struggling with a couple of prima donna band members and suddenly everything was clear to him. Dump the band and work with Zeph! That's exactly what he did. He and Zeph started taking their music to the streets of Melbourne and it wasn't long before they had crowds of hundreds of onlookers watching their impromtu shows. When Zeph was 6 they were spotted by a film producer who was so impressed he got them on the biggest TV show in Australia. He then got them signed to a record company and their first record was released in 1980. The rest of Mike's family joined the show as they were old enough. They took their show all over Australia and then to India. In 1996 Mike was remarried to a sweet girl he knew from many years ago in Australia. She was 't supposed to be able to have children so said the medical profession. Nine months to the day after they were married Sam Fischer came into the world and now history is repeating itself. Sam is now 11 and has record the CD "He's My Daddy" with Mike while they were living in Nashville. Sam was 7 at the time of that recording. The show is now made up of Sam (11) and Reuben (7)and Karyn, Mike's wife did her debut cut, "The Famine" which was written by Kerenina Fischer, one of Mike's first kids. When Mike got back to the States he was shocked by what he saw. The country had really gone back on many of the principles Mike had been brought up on. One thing that struck him was how so many of the Christians didn't vote. They just sat back and watched as the secular agenda marched over them and their values. That's where the song "Get Out And Vote" came from. Mike was watching the O'Rielly factor when a Christian leader said that 3 out of 5 Christians didn't vote in the 2000 election. Mike was outraged, grabbed his guitar and the song was completed in about 10 minutes. "Stone Cold Dead" is a second amendment song that literally cries out "Ain't no Way They're Gett'n My Guns Unless I'm Stone-Cold Dead!" Basically Mike gets his stand and conviction from things he reads in the Bible and he believes that our country would have all it's problems solved if they would just back to the those beliefs. Is that a popular message? Not today but then Mike is not in a popularity contest and neither was Jesus Christ and look what they did to Him. Love it or leave it it's straight from the heart. My hopes you like it and if you do say so. Buy a CD. Ha! God Bless You!
