Thinking about him today. I have great memories of playing saxophone in the band "Nightfall" and recording Nightfall's CD "Dance of the Manatee" in 1992. Miss him and his wife Sandra.

I am so very sorry yo hear of this. I still have the letters he sent me whilst he was on tour in Vegas and several demo tapes. I also had the pleasure of meeting his son Alex when he was a baby. Hope you are 'quietly making noise' somewhere beautiful. With love. Julie

I just read this and I remember seeing Michael and his band Listening at Cambridge Common. I grew up in Boston and would go there on Sundays to hear the bands and they were the best! I moved to Fort Lauderdale in 1986 and didn't realize that he was down here as well. I still have the vinyl LP from back in the day! So sorry to hear about him passing away.

Heartbroken - How did I not know? You were my friend, confidant and musical partner in crime. A brilliant musical talent and a kind, loving soul. Irreplaceable. The world is a much sadder, emptier place without you. I will love you forever.
