Re: [Goanet] Micky Correa, RIP
My condolences, George; may his soul RIP. I knew him a bit when I was very very young, in Bombay; and I do remember 'see and hear' him play with his Bombay band. He was then the Toast of the Town. A great musician indeed. Little did I know that he was Karachi returned, after partition perhaps!And now, I know that he is related to you. Small world indeed! Nascy Caldeira From: George Pinto Subject: [Goanet] Micky Correa, RIP My relative, Micky Correa, (Uncle Micky as he was affectionately called) died yesterday, age 97. He was well known in Bombay's big-band jazz era and some on this forum has heard him play at the TAJ hotel or other events. Born in Mombassa, he also spent time in Karachi and met up with a few Karachi Goans in Miramar 2 years ago, followed by the Goanetters meet. http://bluerhythm.wordpress.com/mickey-correa-1913-2011-it%e2%80%99s-silence-for-the-sultan-of-swing/ May he rest in peace.

Heartfelt condolences to the family members of one of the greatest GOAN musicians Micky Correia of MOIRA.

Sincere and deep condolences to you George of the sad passing away. May his good soul rest in eternal peace. floriano GSRP/GEAG/GRA - Original Message - From: "George Pinto" To: "Goanet" Sent: Saturday, September 24, 2011 4:03 AM Subject: [Goanet] Micky Correa, RIP My relative, Micky Correa, (Uncle Micky as he was affectionately called) died yesterday, age 97.
