Blues Musician Michael Greene -- RIP

Settlin' Up The Score
Michael Greene & Bob Guida

A friend recently made a Facebook post that blues musician Mike Greene passed away. I never met Greene, nor did I see him perform. I only know his recorded musical collaboration with Bob Guida, which I enjoy very much and play with some frequency.

The notice includes some teaser anecdotes about Greene's life, including playing hooky with his brother at Jack Ruby's Dallas nightclub. A bit more chillingly, the post also states Greene was at Parkland Hospital the afternoon of JFK's assassination. I can't corroborate either story. What matters more is Greene's music, which remains with us in all its energy and spirit.
