I arranged the song “Can I Change Your Mind” for Tyrone.” Tyrone bought Mickey a new guitar when Can I Change Your Mind became a hit. Bobby Rush – “I was Bobby Rush’s band leader.

When the police came in Wolf would hide me behind the amps because I was underage.” Hubert Sumlin – “I learned to drink and smoke – when he was playing with Hubert. My uncle and Hubert and Wolf used to be around together. That is how I got hooked up with them.” Harold Burrage Little Milton – “I played a little with him.” Z.Z. Hill – “I played with him and Vasti Jackson.” Otis Clay – “Otis Clay and I go way back. I might be on some of his records.” Jimmi Hendrix – “I played with Jimmi when I was 19, before Jimmi went to England.

| “I have always been a Band Leader even when I was with these people. I have been on the same bill as James Brown and all the rest. I have played at all the famous clubs. I did a lot at the Regal and Howard and all those joints. In Detroit I was at the 20 Grand and Henry’s in Detroit.” "I have been around. “I played more back then, then I do now, but I know more how to play now than I did then.” I played so much in so many different styles that I could always get the job. I never got trapped in drugs. I was scared of needles, thank God. The older musicians respected me and never did that in front of me back then. There aren’t too many I didn’t play with back in the days." |
| WHY MICKEY IS IN DEMAND IN THE STUDIO AND WITH ALL MUSICIANS PLAYING A VARIETY OF THINGS BLUES, SMOOTH JAZZ, COUNTRY "When you go around just mention Mickey and you will understand. I never try to play another man’s style. The reason I get gigs is that the fact that I never play another man’s style gets me work. I can put lines on something that don’t sound like something you heard before." |
