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.

Bill,

I will post those mp3s to my website. It was nothing fancy, just a demo session, as we were trying to put together a booking CD. My email is marcus@marcusfuller.com, or we can talk on here. Whatever works best for you. Sorry for the delay in responding on here.

Bill,

You can find the mp3s at http://www.marcusfuller.com/dr-mike/

I hope you like them. Recording those with him is one of the best memories of my life.
