  • 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 UA-cam channel. God bless 👍🎸

    Lance is very much missed. I still enjoy seeing his old video reviews + demos. He was a very honest guy and a very talented player.
    I even bought a few guitars recently which he had reviewed years ago. Thank You for ALL the great times Lance "Mike" Milton ! God Bless

    I surely still miss him. Thanks for keeping his memory alive. I still watch his old content at times. Thanks for sharing some great clips that are meaningful to you - they’ve made me smile today! The tributes, pics, and song by his daughter are a beautiful touch.

    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

    Well done, Andy and to all those involved in the video, from someone who only knew Lance as ‘Mike’ via his UA-cam channel - this just goes to show how much he was loved and that his spirit will always live on in the hearts and minds of those who knew him 👍

    Beautiful tribute. I still think about Lance every day and my only regret is that we lost touch for so many years before finally reconnecting. He is one of the people who inspired me to start playing again. Love to all his family and friends xxx

    Thanks Andy for all your work making this touching tribute to Lance, and to everyone who sent in their memories. Looks like you were having a blast in high school, great tones and great hair too! So glad you two reconnected and shared the love of music and life again.

    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 💜💜💜

    @PaulCooksStuff 18 днів тому +1

    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.

    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 wasn't expecting to cry this evening, but here I am. Over this past year, I keep hoping I will wake up and find that it was all a horrible dream.
    Thank you so much for keeping his memory alive.

There is a special place in the afterworld for you, Andy, for being such a devoted friend. Thank you for helping him and for helping us remember him...❤🎸❤

    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. 😔
