    Motown Revue MUSIC STANDS

    Trivia question. In the book by Curtis E. Woodson, Memories of the 1962 Motown Revue published in 2005, on page 11 there is a picture of two
    Motown employees loading the music stands on the bus which was ready to depart for the long tour. There are 8 music stands enscribed as follows:

    Motor
    Town Special

    Choker
    Campbell

    Orchestra


    Question: Has any members ever seen any of these? I don't believe they lasted beyond the 1962 tour as the tours became the Motown Revue by the time the tour ended in the Apollo Theatre in December of 1962. I do not know exactly at what point the name changed. Conversely, does anyone know of any of these music stands surviving today? I never saw one at the Motown Museum.

    I know how lucky I am to have a copy. I bought it direct from Mr. Woodson and he personally autographed it for me. I could write a book about how difficult it was back in the day when it was published. It was like looking for a needle in a haystack. Mr. Woodson had anticipated becoming a millionaire from the publication of this book, but obviously it did not happen. The pictures in the book are beyond compehension. A great investment in Motown if and when you can locate a copy. Good luck getting one. It is worth it.
