Brothers And Sisters, Kick Out The Jams!

About Me

I am a Music lover and gig goer. Finding inner peace through Rock'n' Roll, Blues, Jazz, Afrobeat, Punk, Electronic, Reggae, Ska and RnB I have been collecting records ever since I had an allowance. Growing up around Detroit has been very good for a music collector and lover like me. Detroit has been fertile musical ground on a couple of different fronts. But best of all it is still going on today here and now! There is also the history and culture of Detroit and Southeast Michigan. Not to mention the storied sport teams.

My Interests

Music, Gigs, Shows, Concerts, Labatt Blue for medicinal purposes, Detroit Sports Teams, Montreal Canadiens, Hispanic culture, Native American culture, Detroit and SE Michigan culture, Art, Ethnic dining and History for starters.

I'd like to meet:

Aficionados of music and culture, Friendly bartenders. Dancers who don't care if anyone is watching. Fast drivers, Sport fans and Vinyl (lp) devotees...
