Rest in peace my friend...Mike Lilley
World's a little dimmer today without his bigger than life personality and presence.

yeah. One of the best musician/singers I've ever had the privilege of hanging & picking with.
He was getting ready to go out performing again and had asked me to play bass and another old friend/bandmate of mine to play guitar, then he got too sick to play.

RIP The Gambler.
“And somewhere in the darkness
The gambler he broke even
But in his final words
I found an ace that I could keep”

He played Glastonbury a few years back, absolutely superb, had the huge audience in the palm of his hand.

Even though I was a raver and bang into Drum and Base, there are certain things from my early days that have stuck with me.
Holidays in the 70’s and 80’s we’re driving affairs around the UK. Kenny Rogers, Jonny Cash, Willie Nelson and pals were always playing from the cassette player if my dad had his choice. Queen and the Rolling Stones were some of my mother’s choices. Whenever I hear them i am transported into the back of a Ford Capri and driving around Scotland or Wales, circa 1980.
It was either that or TMS. Test Match Special - that is cricket for you baseball lovers.

Yeah, I guess they made an impact.
I have a very eclectic taste in music. Favourite genres are rave and Jungle. Yet my favourite band is the Grateful Dead.
Mick, I just watched the Glastonbury set from 2013. He had the audience right in his palm. Great performance from a true pro with a great sense of humour and charisma.
RIP
It also made me realise I haven’t seen the Big Lebowski for years. I thinkI will have to educate Haakon later today on the finer nuances of being ‘The dude’.

The Big Lebowski is my favorite movie.
I wish I could share it with the kids. Someday.....
Its crazy how long and successful a career Kenny Rogers had.
We kind of caught the tail end of his big years.........never really realized how big he was.

My adopted son saw John Prine up at the Newport Folk Fest in 2017. He took this photo.

Got to see him a few years back. One of the best shows I've ever seen. He was supposed to play 40min but was on stage more than 2hrs. So glad we got to see him when we did. We'd be seeing him again at merlefest at the end of the month.
