Michael was a friend of mine, and I assure you that he was no smart ass. He was a humble, gentle, talented man who never wore airs.

When he was diagnosed with myelodysplastic syndrome (a form of blood cancer) I joined the bone marrow registry. Sadly, I was not a match for him, but some day I may just be able to help someone who needs a bone marrow donation.

He was a brilliant musician, and I miss him.

I surely know what you mean. We were just a couple of guys messing with each other, before it hit him.

Wow, I didn’t know he died. I used to have 1 or 2 of The Brecker Brother’s LP’s back in the 70’s/80’s.
