A regular at my favourite coffee shop died recently. Not a famous man but thought this tribute from the coffee shop was worth reading. Turns out he really knew how to blow his sax!
RIP Mike Paice

Mike Paice ?
That's the chap. Will edit my post to include his name.
I only exchanged a few words with him over the 10 years or so I lived in the area but always seemed like a nice chap.

Aw. So lovely to find a tribute to Mick (aka Mike) on here. We've played in the same band since about 2011, Shedload Of Love. Gutted he's gone.
As well as a musician, he was a noted ornithologist who wrote the (only?) book on bird life on Mustique (where he regularly visited to play sax and harp with and for the rich'n'famous, there's a clip of him trading solos with Ronnie Wood).
Mick and me (bass), our last gig, Jan 2020 (photo by Bo)... RIP brother...

There are many very good musicians who never had hits.
Great that you got to play with him, Rick, here's to many good memories.

Damn, RIP indeed. Something Wild and Hatebreeder were big albums for me 20 years ago.

That Mustique fact is fantastic...you should post it on the thread that the waiting room posted! Bet they would appreciate that.

Oh my god not Jaclyn Smith? Very very early crush of mine, way before I kinda knew why I liked her!

Yup. They graduated the same year.

Hate Crew Deathroll and Are You Dead Yet? were the two big ones for me but similarly I played them to death. Always liked his ESP signature V too.

sorry bad taste...
heart failure?

He was fitted with a pacemaker.
“It was a very short illness and too quick to comprehend really. And his heart has taken some battering over the years. He had a triple bypass, an aortic valve replacement and ironically he also had a pacemaker.

gutted.
been a fan of Dumile since hearing tracks from KMD - Mr Hood on Jeff Young's Big Beat Show / National Fresh in the early 90's.
probably the most creative and inventive pioneer of rap music, loved the way he dropped in all the crazy samples and references from the strangest of places, flipping beats mid flow etc.
a true pioneer and a huge loss to the hip hop world.
RIP DOOM
