We were having breakfast this morning and Marty's wife Laura and I realized that we had shared three years at Michigan State University, 1968 to 1970, including the anti-war demonstrations and involvement in the many off-campus community organizations. It all makes some kind of sense, or not!

Now, I'm thinking, it might be fun to organize a Grand Rapids song party. My good music friend Paul Emery is resident there, along with Mudcat's Big Mick, and I've got an open schedule between this weekend and the next one when I'll be in Ann Arbor. I'll see if I get any response and will report back.

There definitely will be an Ann Arbor song party on Sunday afternoon/evening at the Mark Charles/Sheila Ritter residence on Easy Street. And I'll try to firm up details on that as well. Marty and Laura are planning to join us as well; Laura and Sheila certainly have old friends in common.

As I've been saying, this trip is and will continue to be great fun, and enlightening!

Cheerily,
Charley Noble, on the road to Lansing/East Lansing
