A brief update from Denver! I haven't been in Michigan in a spell, but I'm trying to squeeze a trip into northern Michigan before all the colour is gone.
Beautiful weather here in Colorado, now with some cool nights but warm days. Doing a photo/hike tomorrow down into a nearby canyon. Up and outta here in the dark to catch any possible sunrise opp.
Regarding music of our times - It was as a junior at LHS, I discovered my interest in vocal and instrumental jazz from which I've never strayed from. The enormously popular music of the times from people like Bill Haley, Chubby Checker and Elvis were never seriously part of my culture.
I recall hanging with a few people like Ray Miller, and a couple of our female classmates like Sarah Lee and Patti Sue and digging jazz. We definately were in the minority, but hung on to this counter-culture for what it was worth. A few parties at Mel Michaels house on 11 Mile Road usually had this set of people on hand, a few beers and I would try and organize some jazz on the radio or LP's.
Yeah Switch, I saw that SI article and there is in my plans a trip to Vilnius and Kaunas to look at the possibility of a Lithuanian BB franchise. Arv Sabonis is a mover and shaker in Lithuania as is Sarunas Marciolionis, although I understand the two are not exactly compatible. Even with his poor physical health when he came to the Blazers, Arv was one of the best big men players in the game. Someday, it is quite likely there will be a euro NBA...this is the logical place for expansion.
All the very best to my LHS friends!
