Becky: a few years back here in NOLA, my cousin, who normally waits tables, filled in for someone as a cocktail server at the Jazz Playhouse, a dark, cozy little lounge in the Quarter attached to the hotel where she works. It was a Sunday night, hardly anyone there, and she texted me all excited to tell me Stevie Wonder was quietly playing a set with a couple of friends. I'll try to find the couple of pics she took.

Saltonstall:

@Fine Wine- Dude is a bootlegger and he knowingly sells stolen records. My best friend- an engineer and DJ at WFBE- had his entire collection stolen from a storage unit. His names were on many of the sleeves FPD. Pete denied it and cops were no help. He then moved most of the rare stuff to the back room. My friend sent other friends to MM so they could buy back some of his records.

But Denny McLain got his pinstriped uni post-career.
Avatar 👻 Swag For Life Member 8:36pm
Mr. Fine Wine:

Saltonstall: Oh, shit. I wonder if I have ended up with any of that stuff. I have shopped there the past few years (not this year) and found good stuff in that back room and in his office.
Avatar 👻 Swag For Life Member 8:37pm
Mr. Fine Wine:

Mickey Lolich's only crimes were at the dinner table.

Fat Cat sucks. It probably was his collection. His Michigan hip hop demo collection included dozens of ungoogleable tapes. They might be at MM too

Do you live in the Flint area, Saltonstall?

Next time you’re in Flint cruise by the ancestral home of Rick Leach. First house on southside of W. Court St when you enter from Flint Twp

Handy Haversack:

Mr. FW, my mom's people are from Oceana Co. Moved into Muskegon during WWII. Her brother and sister still own the forty acres of farmland in NE Oceana Co., and every damn year except this disaster of one, Kate and I go out there to see my aunt and uncle and spend a week on "the Farm," which is no longer working at all but has a more-or-less functional house on it (in the summer, at least) and 18,000 wild Xmas trees from a lessee who disappeared. We keep an aluminum canoe there and spend the week just putting it in different lakes and rivers every day. It definitely occupies a lot of the territory of my heart. My aunt's ninety-three and my uncle in his late seventies, and it's really killing me to not be able to see them (and the land) this year.

Though Aunt Donna *did* just send cookies and banana bread!

Handy Haversack:

Rough times, Mr. FW. We have a really close friend in Ypsi we usually get to see, too. Kate and I met at U of M getting MFAs, so there are multiple connections. Michigan (problematic as it is just like every damn place) is a special place, too. Very important to us.

So this show is just really hitting the old heart, Becky. Deep, deep thanks.

And to Sceleton Scott, of course, too.

Be well, Tonkans!
