One of Michelle's performing experiences has been playing fiddle tunes and singing favorite songs to summer tourists on the California Western Railroad's "Skunk" train that travels through rolling oak-studded hills and redwood forests between Willits and Fort Bragg. She has entertained on the "Skunk" for 5 years: 2 years as a duo with Gary Bowman on guitar; 1 year with Mitch Uharriet as guitar accompaniment and the last 2 years as a solo entertainer.
