Wil Freebody
As the old man of the L team, Wil started assembling the team in 1986. With forty years experience in the music business, Wil has worked with too many professional acts to list here. It will
suffice to use this allegory to explain our boss. Most people see the world as a half glass of water. They see it either half full or half empty. In Wil's world the glass is always overflowing. We all know he feels blessed to have such a great team. |

Michael Thomas
Michael has been with LIRCo since 1995. Prolific songwriter, accomplished engineer, superb musician, all part of the persona that makes up MT. However there is more. Michael is our most versatile producer. He captures the
Nashville sound when called upon . Equally at home with both
or Contemporary Christian . The Heart of Rock n Roll is in Cleveland, and the heart of Michael Thomas is in
Rock. Perhaps Michael's finest asset is his ability to get the most out of anyone he works with. We feel fortunate to have MT as part of the L- Team. |
