“On Sunday, March 20, 1994, Orchestra Hall in Detroit, MI will resonate with the sounds of three jazz greats, Lionel Hampton, Dorothy Donegan, and Joe Williams. This special concert was organized as a tribute to Michigan Court of Appeals Judge Myron "Mike" Wahls, a truly fine jazz pianist in his own right. Mike Wahls is special, admired for his hard work on the bench and in the community. He is being honored for that devotion to the law and his community, and for his courage, determination, and good humor in the face of adversity. Mike is waging a battle against a serious illness, but he is not spending a lot of time feeling sorry for himself. He goes about his business and lives his life with grace and dignity, and is a true role model and inspiration for others in how to live with strength, and dignity, and fulfillment. Mike Wahls has a wonderful family, a multitude of admiring friends and supportive peers. I am proud to join them all in paying tribute to him. And on Sunday, when he goes on stage at the end of the concert to jam with Hampton, Donegan, and Williams, Orchestra Hall will reverberate with the sounds of joyous music, and the audience will be smiling and laughing with Mike Wahls.”
