First of all, thank you, thank you, thank you TJ for the invite and being in the audience for this show! It was a honor and a privilege! Folks; TJ was warm, engaging and very patient with us in a relaxing manner. It was apparent he had a lot of respect for the people in the audience.
A big thanks to Ralph for this also. If it wasn't for SDF, I would not have known about the taping. I was looking forward to meeting you Ralph; so you must buy a snowblower! You were sorely missed!
Mary Wilson: met her for the first time. So down to earth, was very happy to see the Motowners in the audience. Engaged and talked to everyone, and what a pro! Signed every autograph, took every picture. Was warm and gracious to everyone.
Martha Reeves: still a "livewire". Motown's best living ambassador! Shouted out the Funk Bros., the Four Tops and the Andantes! Both she and Mary clapped and yelled about the Andantes, and the audience clapped also - a very knowlegable audience! She and I sang together, but I am sure it will be cut, although after we finished TJ had a smile a mile long.
It was a long, long taping, but I would have stayed until the next morning to tape this show. TJ slipped in, in a sly way, a shoutout to the SDF members, and SDF was represented well in the audience. We sang "Someday we'll be Together", and me and EJ Johnson [[lead singer in Enchantment) were trading leads! What a night!
