Micha's last set

Last night at open mic, we had an outpouring of support for our lost friend Micha. His family was there along with friends and fellow singer/song writers. We signed him up on the list and gave him his last set. Patrick our sound guy played two of his song and dropped the house lights; as a single spot shined on an empty chair. We sat together in a silent room, many were crying and all were thinking about this man that brought his talents to our room.

Open Mic becomes a community. This was so evident as these artists came together to share their music, grief and joy.

Ken Harris gave a wonderful set that combined the Fred Rose tune "Blue Eye's Crying in the Rain" with Micha's "Good Morning Whiskey"

Rick Strole did a beautiful version of Mcartney's "Here Today". It was so sweet, Micha would have loved it.

Here in Cave Creek we post notices of death on the post office window. I posted my first yesterday;

Micha Mcgerrah died Tuesday morning. He was 38 years old. During his life, Micha was a father, son, brother, husband, bull rider, and a singer/songwriter. He loved, Cave Creek, and everything the American west had to offer, always had a smile on face and was seldom heard letting an unkind word cross his lips. Please join his friends and family celebrating this man’s unique journey, this Sunday, August 8^th at The Cave Creek Coffee co. at high noon.

If you're free this Sunday please drop by a celebrate the life of our friend Micha McGerrah.
