I just saw this today, months after my good friend Mike passed. I am in tears. I loved Mike on so many levels. Always generous and always open hearted musically and personally. RIP my good friend. So honored to have known you, worked with you and most dearly, been your friend. You ARE missed. With Love, M
Many, many thanks to this Wrecking Crew RU-vid channel for providing these unique and fascinating videos. This channel is the absolute best resource for presenting the Crew's vast influence on music - along with the important film of the same.
Wow! That was fantastic. Such a gifted pianist and so humble. I was friends with Mike for many years. We’d talk about music mostly. I play the piano (not that great) and he’d always be encouraging. In all those years he never mentioned that he played with Sinatra!!! With Aretha!!! With The Beach Boys!!!! Holy shit. Such a humble guy. A great loss to the music world.
Dang it- and poof just like that, one of the greats is gone. Always a wide eyed and big eared FAN of music, jazz and the piano. Always encouraging and creative. A real pillar of the studio community for generations. Such a loss- love you Mike.
