Project Hope

about this album

This album is a project of Love and Hope. When Michael's son was born in December of 2004, he and his wife came to find out that their son was something of a Miracle Baby. The doctor told them that their son's placenta was extremely shriveled. So much so that by the doctor's estimation, Joseph had actually lived for a whole month without it! When Michael's wife, Kami, went to feed Joey for the first time, before he could even take a drink, his lips turned blue. He was immediately taken from her and rushed to the NICU where he stayed for 11 days, hooked up to various machines, and having various procedures done to him. While he was in the NICU, Michael gave the nurses a CD he had made for Joey for the nurses to play for him, which they did graciously. Michael and Kami both believe that music helped give his son strength to live through that experience! Since then, many people including Michael's wife, parents, those nurses, and many friends, request that Michael write an album and get it published. Just last year (2008), Michael and his wife were scheduled to give birth to a (second) baby girl (this was to be their third child). 2 weeks before the scheduled delivery, they found out that she had passed away. This was due as well to a failed placenta. But Myra was not as strong as Joseph, and so she is now their little AngelBug. It was Myra who finally influenced Michael to make his first Album "Believe".
