Default Dr. Mike Taylor
Bill, I played with Dr. Mike from 2003 to 2005, the year he passed away. I would be glad to answer any questions you have about him, though I do not have information on the bass specifically. All I know is that he waited a long time to get it from when he first heard it. 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.

Marcus

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.

Marcus
