Mike Huckaby - Detroit House and Techno DJ.  Bought lots of great records from him from my favorite record store  Record Time. He was in charge of the Dance Room there.

Wow I knew all about him dying but had not realized it was from covid


I used to shop at RTX in Fairfax all the time until it closed a month ago

Of course he had long ago sold it…how cool that he went back to dentistry in his 60s to pay for his kids college!


I remember though decades ago shopping there and I remember the old man with all that gray hair


Kudos to his family for bringing him home


Apparently if you buy a record and it has one of those “some surface noise” stickers on cover it came from one of his stores…

Definitely from all accounts a very interesting man

She was a very important member of the Junior Mafia clique. She will be missed.

It happens. I have a 140 pound 40 year old co-worker who had a stroke. He didn't die though and seemed to fully recover.

BREAKING: Fela's Ex-drummer, Tony Allen, Dies In France | Sahara Reporters
Fela once stated that, "Without Tony Allen, there would be no Afrobeat." Allen has also been described by Brian Eno as "perhaps the greatest drummer who ever lived".

Got to see him play with The Good, The Bad and The Queen

^ Me too, damn. Couldn't really see him back there in the fog, but definitely heard him.
