W.Baltimore is two blocks south of West Grand Blvd. Dennis Coffey goes on at 8pm so bring your dancing shoes! The food is inexpensive and very good. Here's who will be joining us to welcome Ralph home: Kim Weston, Millie and Norma from the Velvelettes, Melvin Davis, McKinley Jackson, Gil Bridges, June Jones [[Uriel's wife), James Jamerson, Jr., Ed Wolfrum, Clay MacMurray, and other friends/fans of Ralphie-Boy!

    I'm gonna do my best to be there! We've got a show Thursday night, and I'm not sure when we're leaving again, but if time permits I'll absolutely be there.

    Make sure you play some funky keyboards while you're home, Ralph. It looks like the party going to be great. Have a safe trip and enjoy.

    I'm going to try, Marv. I went to two high schools. Cass Tech and Henry Ford. I went by both of them the last time I was home.

    Ralph, they built something like an annex to Cass sitting behind the old high school. They are spending something like $30 million to renovate my old high school down in Toledo. Things will not be like they use to. Well I am sure you have your own personal neighborhood haunts. Just enjoy yourself and maybe take a few pictures?

    Tamla,
    I have been living in Monterey, California for the past 32 years. I still consider Detroit my home though.

    Marv,
    I'll be taking pictures.

    I just talked with my son-in-law and he told me it was 75 degrees. Believe me, Jesse and I want weather where coats are needed. We want to experience real midwest fall weather.

    The amazing thing there, Marv, is Jesse and I seem to miss it at times. Go figure.

    Drew,
    Jesse is concerned that Detroit will be too warm. She is already talking about re-thinking what she has packed for the trip. I told her to sit tight. It can all change in a heart beat.

    Now I'm really home. And I came back with a case of the flu. Detroit was a blast and seeing some of my old friends at Northern Lights and being able to listen to Dennis Coffey work out was a pure treat. It is good to be home though.

    A little late but here are some highlights...

    The night's celebrities Ralph and the lovely Jesse...


    Being entertained by the always superlative Dennis Coffey...


    While the girls are still falling for sound engineer legend Ed Wolfrum...


    At the Northern Lights bar...

    Where Millivanilli and Dennis strike a pose...


    Meanwhile the SoulfulDetroit.com brain trust [lol] tries to figure out why Lowell's new camera won't flash Ralph and Lowell. [Poor thing probably didn't want to break]. Oh wait. It just flashed.

    Thanks for posting the pics, Lowell. I'll post some of mine and as soon as I figure out what I'm doing wrong to I'll do just that. I may have to give you a call. Meanwhile, It was good to be able to sit and chat with you about a variety of matters other than the forum's business. I'd like to do that again, sometime.

    Very good, Doug. It sure cuts down on the need to get a haircut.
