In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation to the Library of Congress American Folklife Center’s “Artists in Resonance” program. Your gift will help fulfill Mike’s vision to bring artists to the AFC Archive to research and be inspired by its collections of traditional music and spoken word, with the goal of creating new roots-based performances and recordings. Mike intended to establish the program before he died and made plans to support it through his will. To contribute, go to www.loc.gov/donate and select the American Folklife Center Fund, check “TRIBUTE GIFT” and indicate “Mike Rivers - Artists in Resonance."
