Mickey was supposed to come and play piano at my Golf Club for a Friday night dinner. He was calling me non stop for about two weeks (even had his wife call me). We finally talked and settled on Friday, Feb 4th 2 weeks prior from 5:30pm-8pm. I sent him over the vendor documents I needed him to fill out and send back to me. I didn't hear back so a week before i reached back out, I called an emailed him and still no response.
For someone who was so persistent to try to book a show, it's crazy that he just decided to no show up and not even let me know with time that he wasn't going to make it. I understand that things come up, but the least he could've done was inform me.

Response from Mickey Basil:
I was there for the gig. I showed up one half an hour before I was to start. Natasha meet me at the door. They said there was a mix up due to paperwork that did not apply to me. Natasha even showed me the piano I would be playing. Her manager said I could not play that night, due to the paperwork, but hired me for a future date. I have been playing professional for 60 years and have never missed a performance.

While living in Nashville, Mickey was signed to a major record label Mid Coast Records/CBS for his original music in the Jazz Division.
As quoted in The Baltimore Sun; Mark Twain once said, “Thunder is impressive, but it is the lightening which does the work.” This thought closely expresses Mickey’s electrifying musical expressiveness, which carries within it both the deep and awesome rumble of thunder and the crackle, flash and power of lightening. His energy level is off the voltage meter, and his intensity and intelligence spark through even the most mellow passages.
Additional Booking Notes
When performing solo piano I prefer a baby grand or grand piano. Tuned. Properly miked to suit the room, equipped with an electronic keyboard with PA System if needed.
For Duo's, Trio's, Quartets, Quintets or larger groups, details will be discussed for lighting, staging and sound prior to the event.
