“There was a man who came from north of here;
He could raise his voice,
And he could raise a beer.
And when he left the music stayed,
And that’s how legends are made.”
To remotely celebrate your milestone 70th birthday, we reached out to your family and friends with the following request:
As you all know, Michael is a big fan of music: from rock (Springsteen, Rolling Stones) to some rather obscure folk (John Gorka, John Stewart) and even some 1983 pop (Cyndi Lauper, Bonnie Tyler). We thought it would be fun to ask his family and friends (you!) to each send us one song title that reminds you of Michael and a brief description of why. We will compile the responses into a book and also create a playlist of all the songs for Michael.
