Ah, Mr. Mike - saw him quite a bit in the late 70's & early 80's.

I knew him in the late 70's, early 80's.
When I met him he was playing a Chamberlin setup he had modified himself to
change sounds
with bicycle gears, etc., plus an Oberheim 4-voice and a Moog Polymoog.  He
was playing
shows at the Tomorrowland Terrace in Walt Disney World in Florida.

I eventually ended up buying his Polymoog from him when he got hold of one
of the first
SCI Prophet 5's.  Last I heard, he was living in Aspen, CO, and doing shows
on the convention
circuit, for corporate customers.

I did find this article on him, from 1995, in the Aspen Times:

His website is here:

If you look at the images section, there's a picture of him from his "Do It
Live" album
that shows the Polymoog on top of his Chamberlin.  That was right before he
sold it
to me.

In the links section, there's a DisneyNut link that appears to have some
video clips
of him performing.

Here's his address / phone number:

Michael Iceberg
Snowmass Village, CO 81615
(970)923-4115
