It's been just about three weeks since our pal Michael Hurley passed away. If you missed it, here's a four hour radio tribute we broadcasted a few days back -

We miss Michael a ton. His corporeal self is gone, but the spirit remains strong. His memorial is coming up and you're all invited. Beyond what's announced below there will be some surprises. 

Michael was a strong presence on our little Mississippi Records / Red Fox / Cherry Sprout / Sweedeedee corner. He played in our park at least 20 times, if not 50. We look forward to hearing his pals and fans sing songs in his honor for a day. You're welcome to jump up on stage yourself.....just be fast.....
