About Us:
Mike Hackbert is the creative force
behind Hackdaddy, which provides an
outlet for Mike's music projects.
Mike has been an active musician since
the early 70's, when he began playing
brass instruments (trombone, cornet
and trumpet). Settling on the trumpet
as a primary instrument, Mike was
involved with a number of bands and
ensembles in high school (Culver
Military Academy) and college
(Wittenberg University). Mike's
composing and arranging skills were
honed while working on a double major
in music and business at Wittenberg,
and are still in use today.
In the 80's and 90's Mike was based in
Champaign-Urbana Illinois and could be
seen in a number of groups around the
area in addition to work as a soloist,
in the theatre pits and in local
recording studios. The main focus at
this time was Champaign Brass, a brass
quintet founded by Mike in 1986 that
is still active today. As Hackdaddy,
Mike collaborates with musicians
globally.
Mike's main influences are jazz, latin
beats and progressive rock, with some
baroque, classic and new age thrown in
as well. He has been accused of never
finding an added-note chord he didn't
like, and is fond of complex rhythms
and time signatures. With Hackdaddy,
these creative projects (some are
years old, some are months old, some
are only weeks old) from Mike are
finding a wider audience for listening
and enjoyment.

TELL EVERY ONE ABOUT
IMRadio -- Got to
thinking. What if each of
us independent musicians
told our family, friends,
fans and acquaintances
about IMRadio.com, how
besides the main
stations, it has stations
for each of the states
individually, 75
countries, and just about
every musical genre --
reaching any internet
connection around the
world. We could tell them
in person, on the
internet or at small or
large venues. Anyone we
tell would appreciate the
convenience of such good
music from independent
musicians on their
computer. It would be
such a good way to help
all of us reach even more
listeners. With IMRadio,
we aren't just waiting at
the mercy of some major
label to decide whether
or not they will let us
be heard around the
world. There are enough
of us that the outreach
could be exponential.
And, wouldn't it be a
great way to say 'thank
you' to Paddy and all of
the other fine folks who
have put IMRadio.com on
the world's musical map.
They have put in money,
time, energy and
dedication, and all they
have asked of us in
return is to upload our
music and profile. I am
sure that they have great
plans to publicize
IMRadio and bring it to
even more listeners. In
the meantime, though,
wouldn't it be great if
we could all help a
little by just taking a
little time each day to
tell family, friends,
fans and acquaintances
about IMRadio. It
wouldn't cost a dime,
just a little time.
Yours, in Musical
Solidarity, Paul.
