I remember when Bobby Eli first came on the scene. He and I hit it off rather well. I was in the middle of writing the Tera Shirma webisode for David Meikle, who was running the show at the time. Bobby asked David if he could contribute something, but David was reluctant, wanting to keep the website pure Detroit, in keeping with the name. Well things changed. Bobby came on and was a hit. He actually played on the very first rhythm date at Tera Shirma Studio B, brought in by the legendary Mike Terry. The Dude had Detroit cred, besides all the Philly you could handle.

As far as I'm concerned, Soulful Detroit represents music..period. That is what we should all be about here. R&B, Rock, Blues, Polkas...name it. We will cover it.There is so much to learn from such a diverse group of people that come here. I will never discourage anyone wanting to post about the music that interests them.
