Lance 'Mike' Milton: A Tribute - One Year On

Ойын-сауық

Today (25/04/24) is the first anniversary of the passing of Lance 'Mike' Milton. Lost to MND/ALS, this is a tribute video that I hope pays due respect to an extraordinary Father, Husband, Son, Friend, Mentor (to hundreds of people) and Guitar and Gear Advisor (to thousands of people).
Gone, but certainly not forgotten - and remembered by so many people who he continues to inspire. His legacy lives on, and his star shines bright in the hearts and minds of people from across the world. We love and miss you always.
"For Good" - Sung (beautifully) by Emily Milton
Vocals recorded by Andy Parker, Music and Lyrics by Stephen Schwartz (from Wicked The Musical)

    Thank you Andy for this very kind tribute to Mike/Lance. Although we never got to meet in person, he was always so kind and thoughtful and made you feel like you'd been friends for years. I miss him very much, but his legacy will live on in all of us who came to know and love him through his KZread channel. God bless 👍🎸

    Andy, this is an amazing tribute! Thanks so much for putting this together. I'm so sorry I wasn't able to submit a short video for it, I've hardly been home over the last month and I've not had chance to shoot anything at all! Can't believe it's been a year already

    Thanks for the reminder. It's so easy to get caught up in lifes humdrum toils, for time to pass so quickly, and to forget it's been a year. It been great to take a quiet moment to reflect on what a warm and sweet guy he seemed even on video. Sad that he's gone, but grateful for crossing paths even if only in a virtual sense.

    One of the best men to grace the world. Thank you for sharing this and your memories of what a wonderful guy he was. I only knew him as Lance, and he was the magic in my life since I was a kid, and will continue to be forever. Whenever I miss him particularly badly I come and watch CGS videos. And, despite the lack of potty mouth, his charm still comes across completely. Love to you and Sarah and family 💜💜💜

    Can't believe it's a year already. I had a few emails/conversation with Lance about the original guitar festival he was organising if I remember correctly. Such a friendly guy and sorely missed by all. Thanks for this Andy. And thanks for keeping the CGS name going in a small way.

    "You'll always get a shirt, you'll always get a badge". I almost lost it at that point. I was also taken aback by the potty mouth at the day I spend at BBGF3! Still gutted, but so pleased I met him if only for the day.

    I have no explaination, but for me it just feels like it's been so much longer than a year... I guess I've missed our chats and stuff that much man. 😔
