Michael passed away today & I just can't get a grip on this. My heart is just broken. I have known him for @18yrs & I just always imagined him in my life forever.

Only just descovered Mr Burks. So talented and so sad to learn of his passing.

[@kenlelugas158]

Wow.

RIP... to one of the greats...

[@beldonsbluespoint]

Yeah he bought me a beer once. Definately an uncommon cat. No ego, and he had all of the reason in the world to have one.

Grab your invisible guitar, broomstick, salad fork, etc, and just jam the slow blues like MIKE

One of the nicest people ever, met him three or four times

He would've made a great pick, for a
BB King Movie

What an incredible talent, what a tragic loss. Would have enjoyed this more without the incessant drunken chatter of the audience
