My sincere sympathy to his family. May he rest in peace✝️
My friend Mike (Z) was a creative musician, we first played together in the Slag Bros Band in the 70’s. We attended some great concerts, Average White Band & Tower Of Power. We spent a lot of time listening to music riding around in my Vega. Later we would play together in several of our friend Anthony LaPosta’s bands. Z also compose a really great solo to one of Anthony’s original songs that we recorded in my studio. You will be missed!
