I am the entertainment agent in Chicago that booked all of the Chicago area performances for the Sheiks for many years (Joliet, Schaumburg, Mt Prospect, etc). Does anyone know how I can get in touch with any of these guys? They were "hands down" the best act I ever booked in any nightclub, period. If anyone can help let me know. John
so many nights at jimmy's in new orleans the memories are awesome. the final show on the river boat president when i got to play nick's bass what memories.
i had heard that the singer had past away in the late 80's? do you know this to be true? they had played that song much better than that video showed, i think that was an off night, but i did like going to see them in NOLA
I don't know if you'll ever see this, tugboatman, but, as the others have said, Michael is alive & well in Branson. But his roommate, road manager & light guy, Phillip Geiger did die in the late 80s.
@tugboatmam No, he's not dead, his name is Michael O'Hara. I know him well; as a matter of fact I played drums alongside him in a small church in Florissant, MO for 2 years. Then he moved to Branson, (I live in Branson myself); I actually moved to Branson with my family because of him. He got a gig in Branson for a gospel opera that he wrote/produced called "The Isles of Dreams". After 2 seasons it stopped and he moved to Forth Worth Texas about 8 months ago. He's a minister of the gospel now.
