Mike Finnigan—top keyboardist and sideman to many of the best. Lately with Bonnie Raitt, and played on Electric Ladyland.
Mike was a classmate of one of my best friends/long term wagering/ownership partner, and usually attended the BC with us when in S Cal. A quiet humble tall happily married man who entertained us at his home.

Sorry to hear that. First time I heard his name was on the Tracy Chapman album Telling Stories about 20 years ago. Looked him up and realized he was pretty prolific well before that. Read he did a cover of Like A Rolling Stone with his first band. Will have to hunt that one down.

Sorry to hear about your friend, Spider.
Are you sure that his son is not in the band, Monophonics?

That’s it TC—my bad
I only knew mike through my friend, though he was usually in the box for LA BCs. Still our group is shrinking….everyone else has bailed on this years running so I will also.
Nice mood—-keep it going!
