There are many cases in life when so called first impressions lead only to a part of the whole, and, on the surface, Mike Hansen is a nice guy and a graduate in the science of sound; but the exciting knowledge of audible waves is only one of the layers of this young 22 year old from England.
Mike discovered a special part of himself in a bar in Leicester in England, and, in a sense, the bar discovered him, too. By demonstrating his willingness to do anything for a crust, Mike was given a job as an assistant bar-keeper – but Mike was a quick learner.
There are bar-keepers and there are bar-keepers; but the two things that separate the good from the average are social skills and creativity. Anyone can learn to shake up a cocktail, but there are very few people who are able to invent new ones on the spur of the moment – and this was where Mike discovered his strength!
His strength lay in his ability to turn other people’s ideas into liquid realities, a gift that not only requires creativity, but also social communication skills as well. Listen, create and shake, soon became Mikes recipe for success!
But there’s a devil in the best – and Mike’s most successful concoction soon became known as The Crimson Vampire, a devilish setting of three see through layers containing an invisible punch disguised in the innocence of its green, red and sweet and sour layers! This was creativity with a swing!
But Mike's name isn’t only restricted to Leicester. Everywhere he goes he is made welcome. Just two weeks ago he was to be found in a bar on the shores of Lake Balaton endearing himself to local young Hungarians with his mixture of late night charm and his gift for shaking up explosive ingredients into an eruptive WOW!
But don’t despair! Coming soon – with full effect, tips, recipes and super photos – will be Mike’s blog; possibly to be one of the best “educational blogs” in the net!
I, for one, can’t wait! And I will, of course, be keeping you informed.
