I have 2 or 3 of his old records that I got back in the 70's, and remember
being pretty impressed with his playing, etc. at the time.
Would be interesting to go back and listen to them now - have to dig

Wonder where old Michael is now.
Can never remember is Suzy was his sister or not - I think she was.
