Remembering Mitch the Bitch

Mitchell Gelberg (1954 – 1986)

Farewell to a loyal friend… If you had only three words to describe “Mitch the Bitch”, – soup kitchen celebrity would do it but he was far too complex to be summed up in three words. He was eccentric but sane, always honest and open, Mitch was a keyboard wizard, an innovator who would have introduced keys to hardcore rock. His anxious efforts to fuse all genres of music together, through his instrument, was starting to gel. He could play finger percussion better than anyone I’ve ever seen. He was an artist – suffered as one, practiced and perfected his skills as one, and loved his obsession as one. He was supposed to play piano on this track . . . Mitch and I spent hours constructing organ/drum duets from covers songs, his favorite was “Guaranteed Eternal Sanctuary Man”… I hope you’ve found sanctuary now my friend. by Alschvitz
