    I watched this yet again and still miss him tremendously. He was a beacon for a lot fo people while he was here. Now that he’s gone, he’s become a beacon for me. A week doesn’t go by when I don’t wonder if he’d approve of what I’m doing, and teh direction I’m heading. A tragic loss. Here’s another slideshow you can check out if you like.

    Rest In Peace brother!

    I was Mike’s best friend for 15 years. I played guitar, Mike played bass and sang in the band Creamsickle in San Jose, CA. With Cole Berggren on drums, we spent a lot of time playing gigs around the bay area. We grew up together, all of us. We put out a record or two, but what’s more important is that music communicates and helps some have a more fulfilling life. Mike and I were linked in a musical world together. At Mike’s funeral, his dad told me Mike loved me, and I knew that to be true. I miss him dreadfully every day. I love you, Mike -Dave
