One of my greatest musical heroes.

Aw, sad news.

I had the pleasure of jamming with Mike at a raucous party at the American Folklore Society meeting in 1976. A real scene, with Roger Abrams belting out dirty songs, and Guy Carawan singing “We Shall Overcome”. I’ll never forget it.

Another American original, gone.

Sad news indeed.

A true pioneer of American folk music.

Slan,
D.
