"And whereas many an artist outlives his/her creativity and chops, Michael
died in the middle of a growth spurt.   I, for one, will certainly miss 
him."

The obit said he was working on new CD just 2 weeks before his death. Has 
anyone heard it? Too soon, maybe. He played with such intensity that it is 
hard to understand how he could have played a whole CD in what must have 
been a very weakened condition. Well, he was 100% music, and maybe that 
helped him through. I too, will miss him very much.
