2:40 AM and sleep will not come.  As I lay in the darkness of the room with my eyes closed I keep hearing just two words coming out of my brother's mouth, "Mikes' DEAD."  Just like a scratch on an old phonograph recorcd skipping and repeating those two words.  I want to sleep because I am praying that in sleep I can escape the tragic reality that those two words are actually true.  I been praying all day for a do-over, a rewind and a rewrite of the script for May 6, 2012.  At this fork in the road I wish that death in the real world was like it is in World of Warcraft and you could just run back and find your body and click on the red button to "Accept" being brought back to life.  The road I was traveling on always had you in my future, but today I encountered the road blocked with a sign that had these words written on it, Road Closed.  This was a familiar road that you and I have traveled on since you entered this earthly realm/server.  In World of Warcraft some of my friends opted for a paid transfer to another realm/server and we could never see each other even though technically we could be standing right next to each other.  Well Brother/Cousin seems to me on May 6 2012 you changed realm/server on us.  It was paid for by our Lord and Savior, Jesus the Christ.  We are standing next to each other but we can never see each other until I get my paid transfer to your new realm/server.

Rest friend. The world misses you already....so do your friends. 

You wrote a song with the title "Please Don't Let This Be a Dream,"  now I have to write new words to that great song.  I have been begging God to Please Let This Be A Dream.  Please let it be a dream that my brother called me on my cell phone to tell me you departed this life and left us.  Michael, you now have a "Broken Hearted," Auntie Granny, Brother/cousin and Sister/cousin.  I have been trying to wrap my head, heart and soul around the fact that you have followed Whiney Huston and other great musical genius from this life.  May 6th has been seared into my brain for ever.  Rest in Peace Brother/Cousin 

MIchael Burks, ablues legend in making....Thank you Michael for your passion and your music. We will miss you..... Michael Burks has passed today, our prayers and sympathy to the band and his family 5/6/12 God Bless you and your family

Moving on and turning out the lights...
MySpace Clearance: Florida's online guide to live jazz & blues info is leaving MySpace.
Hello MySpace Friend!
Jazz & Blues Florida is bailing out of MySpace and focusing on our own websites now. We thought Facebook was the way to go, but now it looks like that is disintegrating, too.
If you really want to connect to Florida's jazz & blues scene come check out our main site at www.JazzBluesFlorida.com and if you like what you see, shoot me an email and let me know  you want to sign up for our email list. You can opt for daily, weekly or monthly contact and change your mind at any time.
If you are musician based or touring here, our listings are free - we just need to know about them. Use the email address below to send us the info.
I am sure you understand the value of these connections and that nowadays providing that connection is your contribution to what keeps us going, like the money you used to spend on newspapers.  This is a one-time request. We will be deleting your MySpace connection after we send this out so you will not be hearing from us again here. 
See you on the other side, where the good music is happening! Please excuse us if you are already over there, we had to do this as auto as possible due to the high number of friends we have to process.
