Mike Murphy 1975 - 2008

Words cannot express the greatness of Mike Murphy - I have had the pleasure of recording Mike over the past 11 years with "Far Out Of Me" and "Leave" - he was not just a client - but also a friend. He will be missed. Sometimes life does not make sense.....it is too short...

Mike Murphy 1975 - 2008 an amazing human being.
