Have you ever woken up in the morning and found yourself humming your favourite song from Happy Days? How about the heady mix of melodies in your head with the chirping of birds amid supernal sunrise? Sounds like a dream right? Well, you have Mickey J Meyer to thank for this, as he was the one who composed those chartbusting numbers. Sustaining oneself in the music industry is tough, but hanging on and belting out hit after hit, from Happy Days to Vakmiki Aka Gaddalakonda Ganesh, is another thing altogether. As we tune in to know more about Mickey, he speaks to K RAMYA SREE about his family, school, real name, music and life in general.

REMEMBERING JACQUES CHIRAC THE FRENCH BULLDOZER
