I saw Mike first in about 1961, in Wichita, Kans, with NLCR....then several times more over the years, at the Smithsonian Festival, at Winfield, and at several local concerts....and finally last year with Peggy & Pete. He always gave a performance his best and I first saw an autoharp played by Mike.

I will think good and happy thoughts of him as he deals with this. I hope he feels all his friends & fans caring and wishing him an easy time.
