Hobo, I was at that show; that was the first time I saw Mary. It was Twin Cities Rib Fest. It was in a large parking lot, standing room only. I believe it was August of 1996, maybe 1997? But it was August. It was a SCORCHER that day, well close to 100 degrees. And yes, Mary was dressed in all black.
I made it onstage during her Supremes segment, the only guy [[and white at that, LOL) to get up there. She came up to me and said "Don't you want to be a Beach Boy? Or a Four Top"? And I said "No! I want to be a Supreme!"
I caught Mary after the show and she was wearing this HUGE black hat. I snapped the greatest photo, and years later, had her autograph it for me.
Did you [[do you) live in the Twin Cities?
