God bless his soul! A group of friends and I were invited backstage by Kirk at a concert held in Dayton, Ohio and it was truly an awesome experience for all of us. It was a joy just to sit and talk with the group, but especially to meet Michael. He was gracious and considerate, brash and discerning, gentle and kind. We have been fans since the early 80's and this band has been in our hearts ever since... Michael, you're the secret I desire... love and peace
