Mike was a huge music person and it’s impossible to even begin to cover everything he loved here. But we’ll continue to add more on this page and in blog posts.
Mike’s Fun Playlist
In his final months, Mike created a playlist on his phone that captured many of his experiences and emotions and that he wanted to have played at his services. He named it “My Fun Playlist” (“fun” short for “funeral”).
After the services, we had many requests for Mikey’s playlist. You can listen to it here, or if you’d like an old school CD shipped by snail mail, contact me. 🙂
