 Hell-raising British bandleader Mick Mulligan died this last week.

When I was a cub reporter I went on tour with his band for a story and the
experience (!) included nights sleeping on the coach floor. It was a fine
band in the tradition of the Condon-ites, Bix and many more. The excesses of
all types didn't spoil the music.

We'll miss Mick - Brian Harvey
