Megaplaten, gigantic record show
On this cold, rainy Saturday in Amsterdam Adam Brook and I took the train to Utrecht for this winter’s edition of the gigantic record show called Megaplaten, where I was scheduled to spin an hour of music into the exposition hall and then make our annual Megaplaten episode of the radio show. The DJ set was splendid, but none of the exhibitors were coming up to talk with us, so I decided to go back to the city and cut the show at the 420 Café and edit in into the set of music from Utrecht. Nick Smith & Guiseppe are in from London and Jeff Kabik stopped by to spray me with some new cannabis delivery system. The music is all from Detroit with Johnnie Bassett, Hank Ballard & the Midnighters, the young Bob Seger, Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder, Alberta Adams, Barbara Lewis, Joe Weaver, Marvin Gaye, Bob Seeley & Bob Baldori. Was (Not Was), Thornetta Davis, Todd Rhodes & Connie Allen, and Scott Morgan & PowerTrane “live” at the Crofoot Ballroom in Pontiac MI on the recent Zenta New Year celebration.
