The man who owned it before him loved it and Mike bought it from that man's wife at some point after that man passed away. If you would like, I can get you mp3s of us playing together, he played on your bass in these recordings.

Thanks, Marcus. I haven't found any info on "Dr. Mike" other than a few people listing him as an influence and seeing his name in the Pittsburgh Jazz hall of fame. I would like to know more if you care to share. Also I would be interested in hearing your recordings.
