Thread Name: Live near Detroit!
Subject: RE: Live near Detroit!
I'll be back up in the Detroit area in March - I'm booked throughout St. Patrick's Day week - and I'm looking forward to it. Hope there's some snow then, and with a little luck the Wings will be in town, too. Speaking of the RED WINGS - they beat Pittsburgh tonight by the wonderful score of 3 - 1. Good show guys!
Not that anyone cares, I'm an old "westsider" - grew up around Schoolcraft and Wyoming, an area that is now probably the "hood." Used to catch the Wyoming bus, take it to Grand River, get a nickle transfer and ride the Grand River bus down to Trumbell where we'd walk to Michigan avenue and spend the afternoon in the bleachers at Briggs Stadium watching Al Kaline, Harvey Kuenn, Charlie Maxwell, Norm Cash, Hank Aguirre, Jim Bunning, Don Mossi and Frank Lary play - while listening to Ernie Harwell on the transistor radio, of course.
Don't know if I'll have much time but some open mic's or some song circles might be nice to get to - anything you can offer up around the Detroit / A2 area I'll tuck away for future reference. Cheers.
