In November 2007 at the Classic Rock awards Mick Ronson was presented with a posthumous Tommy Vance award for lifetime achievement and outstanding dedication to music.
It's too bad that he had to die before receiving this award, although he seemed to be the kind of guy that would just wanted to smile and play his music. R.I.P., Ronno.
Mick is my favorite guitarist of all time. To me few others come close to him. I learned so much from listening, really listening to him. A crushing thing to have lost him so early. He had even greater things ahead of him.
Some uncle you have! Where would one even begin? "My uncle wrote the string arrangement for 'Life On Mars.' " Does his own makeup. And...oh yeah, he can play."
I met Mick at 1st Ave in Minneapolis in the late '80's. His tone was immediate, singular, that flex of sinew. Him.
I'm a player too, was working Mnpls at the time, and we talked guitars for a bit. He was gracious, genuine, in the moment. I tried not to pee myself.

Hello frootolo,
Some uncle you have! Where would one even begin? "My uncle wrote the string arrangement for 'Life On Mars.' " Does his own makeup. And...oh yeah, he can play."
I met Mick at 1st Ave in Minneapolis in the late '80's. His tone was immediate, singular, that flex of sinew. Him.

I miss his music so very much.
