I am so sorry for your loss. I'd met Michael as "The Axe Doctor" and immediately knew that he truly loved his craft by the way he paid attention to every instrument he repaired. My thoughts and prayers to your family and friends.

I am very sorry for your loss. Mike was a great guitar player, very nice and I love talking music with him. I worked at South Texas Music Mart way back when, he used to do repairs out of the shop and first met him then. Over the years I did some shows with him and EMT and sat in etc. He was a great person and it was a privilege to have known him and jammed with. Blessing to his family and friends.
