Saying Goodbye to an Old Friend, Mickie Wofford

Posted: Jul 26, 2008


I just received some sad news. An old friend and former band mate of mine, Michael "Mickie" Wofford, died on July 24th.. Mickie, who lived in Landrum, SC, was 44.

I have nothing but happy memories of Mickie. When I met him, he was playing in a local band called The Cary Upton Band, which I would soon join just as the name changed to Cary Upton & The Rockland Tramps. Later, Mickie would play in another band with me called Frontline, gigging around Upstate South Carolina and into Tryon, NC. He was a great bass player, guitarist and singer, but he was an even better human being.

I never once heard Mickie say anything bad about anybody. I don’t believe I ever even heard him raise his voice. He was one of the kindest souls I ever knew. According to the local paper, he was the “owner of Luminous Enterprises, a graduate and devoted fan of Landrum High School, a graduate and professor of Foothills Theological Schools in Landrum; a Deacon at Breakthrough Community Church, an accomplished musician and a friend of God.”

The last time I saw Mickie, he was playing with Barney Barnwell and his band Woodstick (I am not sure if Barney had gone back to the original name The Plum Hollow Band at the time). I had a good time reminiscing about our shows with Cary’s bands and with Frontline. I remember Mickie’s ever present smile.

No matter how long I live, I will never forget the happy memories of Mickie Wofford and those happy, fun times together during the early 1990’s. Godspeed Mickie. We’ll see you in the light, brother.

Keep it Real. Keep it Southern.

My tears are still falling. I loved Mick as a brother in Christ, music and life in general. No dreams of reuniting the Tramps or C.U.B could ever be complete without him. Thanks Buff for remembering. God bless.
