Moving to Oregon was like moving to another planet
November 17, 2019 04:00 - 23 minutes - 16 MBI moved to Oregon when I was 20 for what would be the beginning of a lifetime of creating concerts, live music clubs, festivals and bands.

My only real possession, my black Kramer bass with white plumbing tape on the edges. And then...rain....and more rain....and then it really started to rain... Ugh....http://www.mikeebridges.com

From then on it would be a drug to me. I would also get my first experience in being at odds with Christians and Church which would prove to be very motivating for me in the futur...
