Mick would have been 65 years old today. His bass playing was sublime and he had such a unique and instantly recognizable sound, which really was the 'magic-ingredient' in Japan's own unique formula. He remains a favourite musician of mine and it's hard to believe 12 years has gone since his passing.
Wonder why this was at the top of my Google last night. Was it because algorithms indicated I likely knew it was MK’s birthday? I didn't Google him or them.
