I wouldn't normally post a story like this because it is only remotely related to my music (since when has that stopped me before? ). But Mike did have me bring my guitar over to his house one afternoon after school. It was a setup for me to meet his neighbor, Sheila. Thanks Mikey.

Mike died in the Marine Barracks bombing in Beirut Lebanon on 23 October 1983.

ยท         ETC Michael W. Gorchinski - A Navy electrical technician, was killed in the bombing.

That tragic even was one of the first terrorist attacks to American Military on a Peace keeping mission.

Miss you Mike
