Butchers Inn, Eastern Market, Detroit –
Tuesday, February 26, 2008 @ 7:30-8:30 pm [20-0811]
I was having dinner at the Butchers Inn at Eastern Market in Detroit with my daughter Sunny and her daughter Beyonce when we were joined by my pal Fritz Kielsmeier from Chicago, Adam Brook, my beloved host Holice P. Wood, the great Detroit poster artist Gary Grimshaw, and filmmaker Tony Brancaleone, whose movie A Detroit Thing has just been released. When Tony started questioning Grimshaw about what he was doing I pulled out my little Olympus 320M digital recorder and started documenting the occasion, and when I got back to Hollywood’s place I added some great Detroit music from the 420 All Star Band, Joe Weaver, Harmonica Shah, Johnnie Bassett with Larry McCray, John Sinclair & His Motor City Blues Scholars with James McCarty, and Thornetta Davis, most of it taken from the Holice P. Wood productions in 2005-06-07 called John Sinclair’s 420 Music & Art Festival, and recorded and assembled by Mike Boulan at No Cover Records.
