I first met Mike Theodore during a Sunliner recording session. We were being produced by John Rhys at the time. Mike had stopped into the studio (Golden World) to see John. He and I struck up a conversation. He had some suggestions to make on what we were doing in
the studio. I thought this was rather incongruous with the load of biology books he was carrying. He was a college student at the time.

I had known Dennis Coffey's name for some time. He was already an established musician in the Detroit club scene when The Sunliners were just beginning to emerge. 

There was a downtown bar called Rose's. All the musicians hung out there when they weren't playing in the clubs. I
would go to Rose's to see Dennis Coffey play.

A few years down the line Mike and Dennis would form Theo-Coff productions and work exclusively out of Tera Shirma. 

They were so busy and brought so much work to the studios that I gave them office space in Studio A rent free. Their office would be next to mine and across from secretary, Neica Lee. The offices were wood panelled and each had a large glass window looking out onto the waiting area. My own office was nearest the studio.

I am still in touch with Mike Theodore. He and Dennis are still collaborating on certain projects. We all remain good friends to this day.

One of the great Detroit production teams.
