i created the above web page in 1996 for Mike, after having known him for about 3+ years or so. He looked exactly the same the last time we hung out, less 2 weeks ago... smiling just like this.
"Mike Jaimes provides powerful lead guitar lines to take the band into jazzy, funky, and reggae jams."
"The contributions of the six members of native are well balanced. This becomes apparent on the very first track, "Digging Holes", as Jaimes fluid guitar soloing is matched by equally solid keyboard play from Wychoff"
"Guitarist Mike Jaimes plays some truly tasteful leads that are rich in melody and flow freely."
