Mike Meyer: Man with a Brush (Behind the Scenes) – Jack Norton | Retro Style, Vintage Music, Swing

ByJack Norton

My buddy Mike Meyer is from Mazeppa, Minnesota. Right down the road from Zumbrota, Minnesota. There’s only one town in the world named Zumbrota, plus they still have a working payphone on Main Street. Good town, lived there for a few months.

Mike is a sign painter and an old soul. The kinda guy that understands how things were, and how sad they are today. A true artist. An expert craftsman. An old school man with a brush. Folks from all around the world fly to see Mike and learn how to hand paint signs.

They finally made a little movie about Mike. Some folks from the United Kingdom came over here to make the film. I got to sing a song and sit in Mike’s studio as the incredible team of filmmakers worked. It was an honor. They even let me film a behind-the-scenes clip. Hope you enjoy it.



Hope to share more videos like this: if the good Lord’s willin’, and the creek don’t rise!

Cheers,
Jack

Heigh-ho, everybody, heigh-ho! I've been singing vaudeville blues music since 1925. I also host a radio show (and podcast), make movies, write books, and perform children's music under the name "Conductor Jack". I'm from Minneapolis, Minnesota (where I learned to drink lutefisk lattes and say "uff da"). Currently roaming around the world singing on street corners, in concert halls, and everywhere in between. My wife's name is Kitty and she's the brains behind Pa.
