Also, Dutch n00bs (like any other Dutch) are drunk most of the time, or high on pot, or both. This makes the Dutch n00b rather harmless and easy to deal with. Also, they react overly sensitive whenever hearing the word dyke.

Dam, been waiting a year and was planning on going to BB's St Louis last night to see Iron man and my lame friends both bailed last minute.
A holes.

When is the new album coming out Michael?
Also what Voodoo pup do you use in the bridge of your Gibson R8 lemon burst, 57, 59, or 60?

Another MB thread.

Anyone know what LP Michael Burks plays?

He's more into Freddie than the others actually.

There's an interesting article of Michael in the recent issue of Blues Revue.

PapaSquash · 09-03-2011, 09:16 AM

He's coming to the Twin Cities 9/16 and I need to be there.

NashvilleCat · 12-08-2011, 09:56 PM

Just stumbled onto this thread. Wow.....holy smokin geeezzzus the man can play and play his azzz off. Just watched a vid of his. I think he was playin on a blues cruise maybe. He could show a few better known blues players a thang or two. It's players like him that give me inspiration to keep pushin on. The guy is the real deal.

Thanks for posting this and makin it a sticky...and thanks for turning me on to someone I didn't know about.

Alcohol may have been a factor.

That was it LOL... so maybe 30 seconds in. Either way it had me rolling! I talked to Mike a couple days ago, I guess she fell over one of the cabs or road cases or something at some point

djlogan33 · 12-31-2011, 06:26 AM

I met and talked to Michael Burks...

Mr.Draned · 01-16-2012, 07:54 PM

Just saw this thread and although I'm late to the party, I have to say what a cool story. Hopefully he comes through my part of town sooner than later, sounds like he puts on a show!

From the facebook site: Michael K Burks:

When I first started on this journey in the Shadow of Death, with Grief at the wheel of my life, I felt just like I was in a bus careening out of control and I had no idea what to do. I finally realized I had to find something stable and hold on tight. At first it was family and friends. Then they no longer traveled with me. Finally I spotted "My Faith in God". It was a bit rusty, but I took a deep breath and grabbed hold for dear life.

I traveled that way for several weeks. As I became more stable I began to ask questions of Grief. I wanted to know what to expect. I wanted to know how to survive this. The question I kept asking most in the early weeks is: How can a woman who loved her husband as much as I did Michael K Burks live through this much pain. I asked it over and over. Finally Grief answered me: Is all of this that you are feeling really pain?

As we traveled on in the next few weeks thinking until I had my answer: I turned back to Grief and said, "No. It is not all pain. It is fear, shock, disbelief, confusion and a long list of other things." Grief asked, "What is it you fear?. What are you confused about? You have to live."

That is how I am traveling this terrible journey. I am learning as much as I can about myself. I have to take it one thing at a time. One worry at a time. One plan at a time. One day at a time. Sometimes, one hour at a time... even now. I am learning how a woman who loved her husband as much as I did mine, lives through it. I hope to become a stronger person by learning that answer.

Michael's wife ~ Bobbie Burks

RIP, Michael. Still remembering you, and what a nice guy you were when we broke bread in St Louis a couple of years ago.
