You Still Think

In 1965, Michael moved to Detroit where he became a regular guest at John Sinclair's Ann Arbor Blues Festival. Between 1970 & 1974 he travelled extensively throughout the States. He ended up in New Orleans where he played the strip-clubs of Bourbon Street 7 nights a week for 13 months in a row, often sharing the stage with Professor Longhair. Michael moved to California in 1974. During the 10 years that he lived in San Francisco, he played with or supported Jerry Garcia, Paul Butterfield, Albert Collins, John Lee Hooker, Maria Muldaur, Country Joe, CharlieMusselwhite, Albert King the list goes on and on. Michael soon earned the respect of the San Francisco Examiners top music critic Phillip Elwood (see quotes). Michael then went on to join blueslegend Jimmy Reed's as his guitarist in Jimmy's band. During this time Michael started writing his own songs after Jimmy told him "It ain't how you sing the song boy, it's how you live your life and if you ain't lived the life, how can you sing the song." It was Michael who was to discover Jimmy's body after his death in Oakland on the afternoon of August 29, 1976.

In 1981, Michael recorded his first album All Night Long, produced by legendary Nick Gravenitis and featuring Steve Miller Band members Norton Buffalo & Greg Douglas. Three years later he returned to Europe and after "spending time" in Germany, France, Denmark and Sweden, he revisited his Dutch roots, settling in Holland where he still lives. He's a superb live performer and in recent years supported Van Morrison, Clannad, Jethro Tull a.o. Michael's shows are full of energy and emotion and should not to be missed. Heartfelt and without pretensions, no matter whether live on stage or on CD, Michael de Jong's music undoubtedly fits in with the Munich Records motto: "Real People, Real Instruments & Real Music".
