The Golden Section Cd is a collection of her most requested songs when she performs live. The songs are a celebration of life, and inspire the spirit.

Within each song are layers of meanings. This can be clearly heard, seen and felt in the song, "The Song of the Spirit". Written with the Golden Section/Golden Mean in mind, with Plato's Music of the Spheres within the chord structure (the actual chord notes) and melody, the philosophy and wisdom of the wise ones and great teachers past, are interwoven into the music of the song. This is indeed a very magical song.

Gently Johnny, is another favorite of Michelle's Fans.. this song was written in the 12th century, it's 800 years old and still going strong. Although, the way Michelle performs Gently Johnny, with a Smokey blues style, it seems like a brand new song. Gently Johnny was awarded 'Track of the Day' on December 23, 2003 by www.garageband.com reaching #43 in 120 songs.

Selu, is a story song about the Cherokee Earth/Corn Goddess, it is included on this CD, but is also sold as a single. (The Single comes with the abbreviated story of Selu, as told to Michelle by her Great Aunt, and it comes with commentary by Michelle.) The song is sung in Cherokee and in English. Also, Tommy Wildcat accompanies the song with his Native American Flute. Tommy is full-blood who has gained international fame for his traditional flute music. Native American Music Award, flutist of the year, 2002. http://www.cherokeeproud.com/tommy.htm
