Hello All: Well the SD45CC-Motown Chapter met last night for it�s 6th time and has officially become a permanent part of the history of D-Town music. Hot tunes, cold beers, great conversation and a special treat this time. No not a gathering of more Detroit & Motown luminaries and a couple of TV stars from Scotland like last month. Just a steady stream of classic cars from the 30�s, 40�s 50�s 60�s & 70�s cruising by down below on Woodward Ave. The Woodward Ave Dream Cruise is this Saturday, the Biggest & Best bar none Classic car show in the world. 1.5 million people and about 70,000 classic cars on a 15 mile or so stretch of Woodward Ave. So while Detroit was warming up and flexing it�s Motor Muscle we where upstairs in the WAB flexing our Musical Muscle. Let me tell you there was a big work out last night!!! All of the original members where in attendance, the Magnificent 7 & the Ghost gathered to play tunes, converse, eat and drink and have once again a really great time. The founding members of SD45CC-Motown Chapter: Joe Moorehouse Sideburn Slim Dana Gary Brian T Leo B Soulaholic & The Ghost via phone Ralph T who has called and been part of all of the shindigs! Ralph when that court order gets lifted in Detroit we are going to have one heck of a party for you when you can legally come into to town! LOL We also had a visit by Detroit�s own Spyder Turner who dropped into hear a few tunes spread the word about his show at the cruise this Saturday NOT TO BE MISSED!! There was some serious digging in the record boxes last night. It seemed that everyone decided to do some digging for some great D-Town sounds, rare and early style soul was also on the agenda. We heard the Distants New Holidays Lawrence Brown Pirates Jimmy Norman Jimmy Soul Soul Stirrers Bobby Gregg Samson & Delilah J.J. Barnes on Mickay�s Records The original 5 Blind Boys Cozy Cole Calvin Williams Johnny Honeycutt Jimmy Smith Monitors Tim Tam Robert Parker Lenny Dee Junior Walker The 5 Royals Skyliners Brenda Holloway Santos & Johnny Ty Hunter Miracles Intruders Cascades Lloyd Price Marveliers Hollywood Flames Alvin Cash & the Registers Du Droppers Dee Williams Nathaniel Mayer & the Fabulous Twilights Jimmy Soul Clark Googie Rene Combo Big Bubbles and the Soul Brothers Unifics Escorts Counts Eddie Holman Spyder Turner Billy Stewart Margie Hendrix Heck even some Mitch Ryder and Sammy Davis Junior singing Hello Detroit got played last night Plus many many more!! A little guessing of what tune was what was done, a lot of info and stories about tunes was shared and a few records traded hands. And yes we do talk about all of you on the SD forum and if you want to hear what we have to say about you, you will just have to come on down and join us one of these days. Sideburn Slim gave us the behinfd the scene info on how he put together his great story on Darrell Banks!! We have decided that in September we are going to have a SD45CC-Motown Chapter picnic in the middle of the month on a weekend afternoon. A family style event, food, tunes, good conversation and a chance to say hello to those names we chat with and put a face to them. If any out of town members that are within driving distance Chicago, Cleveland, and Windsor, I know we have members their. Come in on Friday and stay until Sunday morning and I guarantee we will show you a great time. Record hunting, a club or two that plays the music we like and a 45 shindig at a picnic. What could be better???? We also have come to the conclusion that we want to do a completely Philly Style shindig in the up and coming months. If only we could find some one who would know a little bit about that Philly scene?????? You know some one who may have been there and done that type of thing sort of person, you know has stories took picture lived it and such. I wonder if there may be a person or two, who may just fit that requirement on the forum??? And yes Manny, I promise I will bring by laptop and hook you up live during that event!!!!! So you can type away with the questions right along side of us here in Detroit! If any SD members know of such a type please forward their names to us!! On to other matters, god I feel like the secretary with the meeting agenda. We are looking to have others join us only once a month. I would like to personally invite; Dennis Coffey, Millie, Ed Wolfram, Ron Murphy, Sis Detroit, Clay Mc, Goat, and any and all local Detroiters to enjoy a few hours out of the 720 we have every month and have a good time with people who enjoy what you enjoy. Well I guess I have said enough for now! I will post some photos from last night soon. Also I would like to hear some feedback on the soul cd�s we where discussing last night wink wink!! Till that time of the month again, remember what the old prospector always sez: Thars gold in them thar Detroit Vinyl Mines only the fools have left not the gold!!!!!!!!! lol PS thanks to the NS boys for Keeping the Faith Alive. | ||
