Mike “The Bear in the Chair” Berichon, leader of the band “Drivin’ Home” has a truly inspirational story that everyone should hear. As a young teenager he picked up a guitar to see what he could do with it, but he lost interest. Move the calendar ahead 40 years. He picks-up the guitar again, but this time with a great deal of seriousness. His new passion included not only learning but learning the right way. He learned to practice hard, to respect the Blues and eventually venture out to public performing. That should entice you right there. But Mike took it further, founding the annual Project Blues a non-profit organization whose mission is to raise funds to help people impacted by cancer with resources that can help them through the LifeCare Alliance This is one special individual.
