First of Two Parts...
As you may already know, every year we honor the life and art of teacher Michael Jackson (we did it prior to his transition, and we still continue to do so).  We get asked about it every year, so thanks for your support!  While we've usually had extended specials, we're splitting this up into two parts this time- one for the 2nd week of the month, and the other for the 4th.  Amidst some of our favorite songs, this first part will look at the foundation of many of the songs recorded over his career- from the demos to the discussions about arrangement, to the songs he either wrote or co-wrote for other artists. 

The man recorded hundreds of songs which went far beyond the few songs he is mostly known for (many of these songs have been well-known by the fan base long before his transition).  As usual, we are here to share this journey with those who may not be familiar with it.
