What can I say about Micky that hasn't already been written here? Not a lot. I will just relate one of my fondest memories of our time together. We were both confirmed prommers and one season we decided we wanted to be in prime position for a performance of Messiaen's Turangalila Symphony. The only thing you need to know about this huge piece is that is very loud and has a part for an electronic instrument called an Ondes Martenot. We queued for many hours at the Royal Albert Hall so that we could stand in the front row, on the rail. We were thrilled. Until the music started. We were directly in front of the speakers for the Ondes and that was all we could here for most of the 80 minutes the performance lasted. At the end we were both partially deaf but Micky was still chuckling! I will miss Micky greatly, his warmth, his humour and his love.
