If you are not familiar with Michael Burks, here is a great concert/bio of him. A bit long but worth it! In this concert he is playing an SRZ65 LE - smoking! He also played Delta 88s.

I really miss him. "Smoking" is right!

I regret I never got to see Ironman perform. A true bluesman.
We play his song Little Juke Joint, and I'd love to add Empty Promises.

I saw Mike many times. Even got to sit in with him over the years. What always amazed (on his playing/tone) was how loud and clear it was on the stage. Out front never felt as loud as it was up there with the band. Always sounded huge and tuneful. One of the nicest people I've ever had the chance to meet, and was always nice to my wife and I. I know the Doc knows far more than I do, but I've seen Mike use Delta 88's, Maz 38 2x12 combo, SRZ-65, EZG 50, and he borrowed my old RX ES one night to try it out. The Delta 88's mixed with the Maz 38 combo was my personal favorite combination. www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10153196243687330&set=a.10150636452097330.379638.665672329&type=3&theater Mike's rig from November of 2004.

I'm also sorry I never got to see or meet Michael. He sure makes it look easy, great phrasing. R.I.P Iron Man

One note played with that kind of passion is what it's all about. Wow.
