Their gigs at Bookies Club 870 in Detroit were the stuff of legend. Still have the flyers. They'd rip through their set with no breaks between songs. A total assault. You felt like you'd been transported to the Casbah or Crawdaddy clubs of the early 60s. Masterful songwriting and impeccable harmonies. Skill was the best and most inventive guitarist of the new music scene - got me to stat playing again. Hard to overestimate their impact.Jim C.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7795047558873074778.post-34368243232691002252017-07-15T01:22:05.606-07:002017-07-15T01:22:05.606-07:00I grew up with the boys and their music in Detroit...I grew up with the boys and their music in Detroit and it can't be understated the amount of work and perseverance that it takes to be a great rock n roll band.

All this professional stuff is a different world than the one I've seen you in so I enjoyed myself reading through this thing. I'm thinking it's remarkable that you are still working with guys you have known as partners professionally for so long. I don't see how you could have a better groove going on so long as you guys keep the interest up. I'm still doing as I do, basically the same guy you know, hair longer. I don't set up my keyboard or get the guitars out and I don't know why but it doesn't trouble me much. Also I write plenty but not the poetry. Whatever. I still have close to two hundred I have not yet posted on my blog.christopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04201537517464996231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7795047558873074778.post-64965352254790815142016-09-07T10:04:55.554-07:002016-09-07T10:04:55.554-07:00The Romantics have been underappreciated all these...The Romantics have been underappreciated all these years.
