Terribly sad news.
Mike was a great steel player and always congenial for brief conversation. |

I'm so sorry to hear of Mike's passing. Back in the day, I always enjoyed visiting with him when we did shows together or whenever I saw him. An absolutely great player and guy..!!
I remember in the early '80s, he told me of some bizarre tv commercial that was airing that showed a short clip of him, then me, but the music playing was some heavy distortion, rock guitar. Neither of us knew where they got the video... or why.
My deepest sympathies and prayers go out for Mike and his family. May God keep them all in his embrace.
Sincerely,
Chris "Tiny" Olson |

Always enjoyed Cookie. He was a great player and a great person too. He played on my last Tri State show in 2007. Last saw him in 2014 when he was playing with Georgette Jones at a fair in central PA.

I never got to meet Mike in person but did correspond via email and phone calls when I was building his Encore guitar. He was very nice and was kind enough to send me some video of him using the guitar.
Rest in peace Mike. |
