My partner, Jon Bowen and I had a wonderful lunch meeting with Spyder Turner and his manager Dave Gausden. Motown Millie (as I call her) joined us as well. It was a meeting for the film (here comes a cheap, shameless plug) called "Point in Time" that is in pre-production. Filming to start in Detroit, MI USA next spring. Go here for more info http://www.pointintimemovie.co m The lunch was a great meeting and we hope that Spyder will play a part in the film and contribute songs. After lunch we had a real treat, as all five of us climbed into Spyder's car and listened to some new songs. One called, "Stop The Rain" sounds like a masterpiece to me. It has "HIT" written all over it. Spyder wrote it and, of course sang. Production duties were handled by a young man named Norman Whitfield (keep that name in mind, he could go a long way in the music business). Millie, Jon and I were completely knocked out by the song. The best was yet to come. Spyder played some mixes of an upcoming live CD. Tremendous material and we didn't even hear the final mix on any of the songs. Then Spyder plugged in a song that was basically a rhythm track with some instrumentation. Backing vocals and other sweetening of the sound are yet to come. Spyder then told us that his lead vocals were not recorded yet, either so he sang them live to us. And he sounded absolutely magnificent. It boarded on surreal. Imagine sitting in a parking lot of a Big Boy Restaurant in Novi, MI while Spyder plays a rough mix of a new song, and proceeds to sing it live. We were honored to be at a private Spyder Turner concert while sitting in his car. It doesn't get much better than that, folks. I can't wait for the upcoming release of Sypder Turner's new live CD. Surreal? Sort of. Superb? No doubt. With the cuts we heard and the new live CD coming out soon...here is a word of advice: when Spyder plays at a club or casino near you...get away from the slots or tables for a while and treat yourself to a real gentleman who sings and writes real songs that the angels in Heaven would be proud to add to their repertoire. Thanks for the fun ride, Spyder and David. Jon and I hope to have you join us (one more cheap shameless plug coming up) in our film "Point in Time" http://www.pointintimemovie.co m Also go here: http://www.spyderturner.com Best to you all, Cam | ||

Spyder Turner has always been one of the most underrated singers... Why is it like that? Some of the best are underrated and the worse are overrated? ~overrated pleasures and underrated treasures~ ...but I'm so glad we know the difference. (smile) | ||

In that case, why didn't I see you at Greektown last night Ms. Medusa?  You missed out on a great show. I'm not going to do a review. I'm going to keep it all to myself this time. | ||

Well, it's like this, When Love Calls, I answer. (LOL)...but you know what? I didn't know he was at Greektown, I never go there...so it's your fault Sis, you didn't tell me about it. (LMAO) | ||

Medusa - I certainly know that. (LOL) I think love called you on at least two other occasions when I wanted you to hang with me. I'll email you and tell you the rest. But, let me put you on notice right now, the next time I pull your coat, you should listen up. Something is in the works and I will not be posting it on the Forum. Spyder has a performance tonight at Greektown which I won't be able to attend. But check out his website for his schedule. www.spyderturner.com | ||
