I liked the fan fare as she was walking out. She did a great job and looks amazing. I think that park is hard to sing on due to the echo.

I remember the Chop House. I remember Emmanuel Stewart bought one of the Chop House Restaurants downtown. That's where they gave me my birthday party in 1994.

Better than Brooklyn.....that's blasphemy!!!!

[marv2]

Better than Brooklyn.....that's blasphemy!!!!

It's the truth! The hot dogs are cooked differently at Coney Island and usually out in the air during the summer on these really big, long grills. The big difference is they don't use the hamburger sauce they use on Coney's in Detroit with the diced onions. yum! LOL!

U know Marv there was something special abt Mary's performances in the early 80's. She was really coming into her own. The first time I saw her was in Lake Tahoe. As a joke she sang the back up parts to the hits and told the audience and that was really me singing....... to a healthy round of applause.

[marv2]

This makes me thoroughly homesick!

[detmotownguy]

No kidding Marv can't wait to get back myself. BTW I was intruduced to a new co worker a few weeks ago and we both knew we were from the same general area. She is fr Toledo!
