Oh man - I hadn't heard that Michael had died. I loved his work with John Hiatt - he was a very special player.

He died a few months back, bad diabetes

Yes, I just saw him at a venue here in central OK. He sounded great and put on a great show but he looked frail, probably because I always see him from this era in my mind.

@John Hiatt 🎵 I guess I first heard you in the early nineties. I had read about you in a Guitar Player magazine I n an article on Bonnie Raitt. I read that you had wrote Thing Called Love. I know the first album I got of yours was Perfectly Good Guitar. I wish I had known of you earlier. You’ve got some great songs. Probably the first song I heard you do was on the radio and that was Slow Turning. What a song, but you’ve go many of them. Another one I really like is Straight Out of Time. Also love Buffalo River Home and Fireball Roberts. You’ve cost me a small fortune on the jukebox but I don’t mind. I enjoy the songs and I like trying to enlighten the world about your music.Keep doing what you’re doing and keep on keeping on.🎸🎹🎶👍

When he hits it he knocks it out of the park

Les Paul Signature. If you look closely you will see that the body is offset where a 335 is symmetrical. Made in the 70's and much misunderstood so it failed. Nothing like a P-90. Quite the opposite in fact as they were low impedance pickups. I have an LP Signature and an L5-S both with low Z pickups and I love them. Super articulate and clean. They will show your flaws for sure. They also process superbly and were ahead of their time. All of the active pickups you see now, EMG etc., are in fact low impedance pickups. The low impedance pickups are what set it apart but Dimarzio and a zillion other pickup makers were pushing overwound pickups hard...and Mesa was reinventing the tube amp. Everything new was pointing to more gain. Low Z pickups just didn't seem to fit at the time. Now we know better. I have several guitars with P90's. Different animal...kind of feral in a good way. Best with not much more than a cord and a good amp. maybe a pedal or two. Insane dynamic range...clean with a light touch and medium gain but super gritty if you dig. Mike made that thing sound great! Cool observation on your part. Cheers!

@@seanwoodburn2616 great info wow thanks appreciated !

I saw him at 328 Performance Hall in Nashville with the Guilty Dogs circa 1994 and they rocked the house. He’s an American treasure.

My daughters boyfriend (the one she should have kept!) turned me on the JH. Have many of his albums. One of the great musical talents of my lifetime.

I saw Them, so great this young kids and that bassman with timing and good voice! The rest was just excellente,... an John had his e string outa- tune!

Amen n à Hallelujah!!!

Check out his first band School of Fish

@John Hiatt 🎵 Thanks for the response John I really appreciate it! Well I started listening to Ry Cooder first so I was also listening to you and then I heard Riding with the King. After that I didn’t hear from you in my neck of the woods until Slow Turning then I backtracked to Bring the Family and bought everything else ever since and have never been disappointed. lot of common ground covered in your lyrics and your style has been one that I have identified with ever since. I live in Costa Rica now with a my second family and have a couple of teenagers and we still play John Hiatt in the car daily. It’s amazing just how many of your lyrics hit home with me. Thanks for all the beautiful music and the great company over all these years John, Really Brother I appreciate that!

Mike Ward is awesome
