I don't know Lynn Gold, but I came across this conversation while looking for some info on Mike Piel. I'm writing a memoir, and I had gotten to the point where I needed to jog my memory about the time in my life when I knew Mike.

At the time, he was emceeing and performing at a restaurant called Appleton's in Longwood, Florida. I was one of the regular performers at the place, and Mike and I hit it off really well. I spent many a pleasant evening drinking wine and swapping stories about the music "business" with Mike and his lovely wife Wendy at their home. Every musician will understand why I put that word in quotes.

Mike was one of the most talented guys I've come across, and I'm sorry I didn't get to say a proper good-bye to that wonderful man before he died.
