Thread Name: Obit: Mike Seeger RIP (1933-2009)
Subject: RE: Mike Seeger - entering hospice (July, 2009)
Sending good vibes out for Mike and family.......... I remember Mike and his then wife Alice coming to a folk club in Birmingham UK ( White Lion I think) They were accompanied by Bill Clifton I recorded the event on an old cassette tape recorder. They were kind enough to infill with lots of chat so that I could change the tapes. At the end of the gig Mike indicated that he wished to sell his guitar, a baby Martin 0018 which he had purchased for the tour he was doing. My mate Bern bought it following a trip down to Surrey and tea with Mike, Alice, Peggy and Ewan McColl, also remember from that gig a funny story about a hire car and the AA ( auto mobile association) Nice man good man great musician

Mike you are inspirational. my respect, love and blessings to you.
