I met Mickey a couple of times, the last being at the old Birchmere music club in Alexandria, VA more than 10 years ago. He was there with another of my favorites, Guy Clark. It was an extraordinary night of music, an evening I will remember for years to come. Mickey's "protege", Jack Williams, has become a friend and mentor to me over the last several years, and if you folks don't know Jack's music, not only are you missing a treat, but Mickey's artistry lives in Jack's work as well. I would recommend Jack's music...all of it...to you, and if he is ANYWHERE close to where you live, GO SEE HIM!!!

My deepest sympathies to Mickey's family and friends everywhere. He touched us all somewhere, sometime, and will continue to do so as long as we remember him. Godspeed, sir.
