heard him a few times in "The Saint" NY. Played many nights with DJ Robbie Leslie. Great technition.

I was a personal friend of Mike's and even lived in his home for a while when I was recovering from minor surgery. At that time, his roommate was Ron Roth who owned Ron's Records on Market Street right next door to The Detour. Mike was such a nice guy, painfully shy but extremely talented with dance music. He provided so many magical nights at the Troc. I never heard a bad mix from him and he knew how to mix popular records with new stuff to introduce his audience to. His gigs at The Detour were awesome - he really knew how to play "Drag Your D**k In The Dirt" music (AKA Morning Music).

His close friend and assistant Gini Spiersch was also a friend of mine - does anyone know of her whereabouts and how to contact her?

I know Gini Spiersch. She is actually my grandma. How long have you known her? Probably since before I was born. I have never heard her talk about you, which is why I am curious, because there are a lot of other names I have heard.
I cannot give out her information, for obvious reasons, but if you give me your information, I can pass it on to her, because she lives just down the street.

Amanda;

I knew Gini through Mike Lewis. I lived in San Francisco from 1981 - 1988. I lived in Mike's home for a few months in 1985. I remember Gini helping out Mike at The Detour and drawing her pictures while Mike was spinning. Gini was very kind to me - when I was preparing to leave San Francisco in 1988, she made sure I left with a good variety of music that I didn't already have. After I had arrived in Seattle, she was with Rhythm Stick records and she would send me a copy of every issue as I had taken a job as DJ in Seattle. I kept in contact with her for a while - the last time we spoke she was living in what she described as a fairly remote cabin in, I believe, Cazadero, or someplace close to there.

Please contact me at jllevy123@hotmail.com or pass this on to her.
