Michael Snyder

1958 Thunderbird convertible, Dad bellowing to Michael to get the garbage and Michaels imitation of him brings a smile to my face. Listening to Mike play the drums in the basement of the house in Flfd. He had a Groucho Marks delivery to his story telling that I always got a kick out of. Don and Michaels rendition of stormy Monday will not be forgotten. Michael will be missed

My condolences to Mike's family. I haven't seen him in many years but he provided some memorable moments in my life.

My baptism into the world of up close & personal live music came in the form of some memorable nites as a 17 yr old at the Surfside in Fairfield watching the Uncle Chick Band. Seeing & hearing Michael work his magic on Orange Blossom Special provided peak moments of truly inspired musicianship & the baseline for what I've hoped to find every time I've walked into a music hall since. Thank you Snyder & UCB. Say hello to Greg & light a new fire up on that mountain.

I'm so sorry to hear about Michael's death. I so glad I had the great pleasure of hearing "The Fiddler" play with the band Cinnamon Sky in Connecticut. He will be missed.

Mike,
May you find the peace and light, a comfort, sad for us because you will be missed! spent so many good times with you back in the day, you were a great guy! RIP= Much love, Viola

Had the pleasure of being friends with Michael and lugging around UCB's band equipment with him many years ago. Those were great times! My thoughts and prayers go out to his wife and family.

I had the pleasure of sharing the stage with Michael in Cinnamon Sky. He was a gifted musician, a funny character, and an all-around good guy. Michael was an usher in our wedding, and we had a blast jamming with a somewhat baffled wedding band. Farewell, brother. May the Orange Blossom Special always run on time wherever you are.

Michael was a good fiddle player, a good guitar player, and a good person. We will miss his smile and the muscial energy he gave to all around him! Bill Colyer & Patty Anderson, Fairfield, CT.
