SYRACUSE AREA MUSIC UPDATES- FEBRUARY 16, 2014... Passing of our friend Mike Casale

Very sad to report the passing of longtime CNY musician Mike Casale on Sunday February 16, 2014...We first remember Mike & Gary Sprague teaming in the duo "Neighborhoods Friends" for many-many years (18). Gary later shared the stage with Bobby Green & A Cut Above and most recently with Irv Lyons.  He was served as Office Manager at Beat Street Music. Mike Casale was a great friend and  will be missed by all of us in the Central New York Music Community.
