So guess who I had breakfast with this morning? Mike was in town for his annual visit to run the Big Sur Marathon. I don't know how he does it. Hell, I don't know WHY he does it, but the man is bad. Anyway, for those that don't know that much about him, Mike played bass for Rare Earth. He was playing with Frank Zappa when the boys made him an offer he couldn't refuse. ( The boys being from Detroit you see ) So the rest is history. Mike is one BAD-ASS player. He is leaving town this morning and will spend the night a ways north of here with a friend that has a computer. He told me he would come on the forum so get ready to welcome Mike when he arrives.

Ralph,
Great ! - now maybe we'll find out if he was
in the Human Beings. I didn't know Mike had played with Zappa - will have to check my old
FZ albums.
Now if we could just find Rod Richards ..

Davie,
I believe Mike was in the Human Beings. I don't think he was with Zappa all that long. I believe he was in the middle of some recording projects with him when Rare Earth made him the offer. I'll let Mike set me straight on this.
It seems I recently heard something about Rod but I can't remember what.
