Thread Name: Help: Any sessions in Detroit area?
Subject: Any sessions in Detroit area?
For my sins, I'm being shipped over to Ford in Detroit - initially for a couple of weeks and then maybe for another few weeks after that. I thought it'd be interesting to explore a few sessions while I'm out there, seeing as there's not much else to do in the evenings in a hotel apart from drink. So, time to pick your collective brains, please...

I'll be there June 3rd to 14th on this shift, and most likely be back again sometime not too long after that for anothe 3-4 weeks. I'll be staying somewhere in Novi, in NW Detroit. Any suggestions for good music locations? Anywhere that'll put up with a young English folkie with a tendency to sing Leonard Cohen, Dire Straits, and a less-than-family version of the Teddy-bear's Picnic? :-)

Also, are there any decent (and cheap!) guitar shops in Detroit? I'm seriously thinking about acquiring a Dobro/resonator while I'm over there (it's the same numbers as over here but dollars instead of pounds!) so any recommended places?

Cheers all,

Graham.
