Even beter than scotty moore and James Burton. I working on the ducth discografy and i have spoken to some bandmembers of the dutch band Normaal and also to the producer.They were very impressed by his playing. They remebered him as a great guy. That's why he will be missed In My opinion is he the best gitarist in the world. Even beter than scotty moore and James Burton.

He once told me Bazz, you can buy the best and most expensive guitar in the whole world, on that guitar you can fit the best and most expensive strings in the world, you can then buy the most interesting and sound effecting quality amplifier in the world. The big problem is unless you can play it all you would have been better off paying out a couple of bob for s crock of shite, so keep on practicing sonner and dont lose your direction.

It was formed to play at the street party on Rhymney St in Cardiff after the Investiture of Charles as prince of Wales. Amps and PA 's were plugged into 3 houses mid street. Great day had by all.

As a former hairy prog rocker I would like to thank Memfis Bend for introducing me to proper rock and roll and rockabilly. Would anyone have any idea how to go about persuading UA to release the album on CD? I hope there are some 'bonus tracks' to go with it. RIP Micky - you're the best!

I played him a few of my best numbers and he showed me a few of the riffs that i hadn't been able to figure out. He said at the time that i was doing fine and there wasn't much he could show me but just keep at it. when he played the same tunes i had played him it was like listening to god. i noticed the feel of the music was so important, his way of playing was so natural. i saw/met him many times after that and he always seemed to appreciate the fact that i was one of the guys into the picking style of guitar playing. i remember playing a gig years later (and he probably didn't recognize me) with a cajun band i was in and mickey was in the audience......he came up to me after the gig and said...'i knew it was you because i don't anyone else who would use a thumbpick playing those riffs around here'.

There is no doubt that the passion for detail came through in his distinctive style always. Augmented with Gavin Povey, The Rumour Brass, Dick Bland & Howard Tibble etc. there was always a top band to back Shaky & never got the proper recognition they deserved.
