RIP - Michael Been

I don't know very much about Michael Been - except that he worked with Mark Heard on a number of songs. Michael Been died a few days ago - heart attack on stage in August - same as Mark.

The only song that I'm really familiar with that he wrote was made popular by Russ Taff. "I Still Believe" expresses the cry of one clinging to God through great distress.

(notice the fret-less bass)

(I'm still partial to the Russ Taff version.)
