milton mermikides is a british muso and educator (head of music technology at the royal academy of music, jazz gtr professor at the royal college of music) who went to berklee with dave karnes. last yr, he was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. sounds like a ballsy cat: "make no mistake, as an unwanted physical guest leukaemia knocked on the wrong door," sez milton, "and I am kicking its arse." a talented and funny one, too. he'll be visiting the fort later this month. i'm looking forward to meeting him.
