In Remembrance Of Michael Cook

The music world... No the entire world .. lost a great treasure this past Friday, July the 18th. Michael Cook, (second from the left)  long time member of "The Mighty Clouds Of Joy" went to be with the Lord. I have had the great fourtune of knowing Michael personally and I will tell  you He was one genuine Christian man. A dovout Father and friend to many, Michael touched us all with not only his voice but in the way he lived life. Michael Cook always had a word of encourgement for me in my musical endevor. A kindness only few with his talent possessed. My heart and prayers go out to his family, especially Tom Cook, Michael's Brother and my long time close friend.   II Corinthians 5:21 says  ..."absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord."
