The very first bass player of Flaming Ember, Mike Jackson, who was the bassist for the group from its inception in 1964 until 1966, passed away from a bout with cancer in Detroit.

He was playing with Lee Phillips group as well as his long time "day gig" with United Airlines.

I just spoke to bassist Jim Bugnel and needless to say the group members are distraught over the loss.

Hi Bobby!
So sorry to hear about Mike...my condolences go out to his family.

How are the boys (Flaming Ember) doing, and what's the latest on your collaboration with them? Aren't you all coming back to Detroit to record again?

Hope all is well with you.

Millie

My brother was a friend of Mike's and used to sit in with the F.E. at club gigs in Detroit.
Mike's group at the time played my brother's wedding in the 80's and we had a blowout jam !
Great guy, Great musician. Play on Mike !!!
