Farewell to my Canton Friends!
I will miss my Friday nights in Canton, what a summer we had. I got to see some bands I love and was introduced to some new ones. To be sure, Detroit has such a wealth of great muscisians! I loved seeing old friends and making new ones as our listeners came out in the hundreds each Friday and we gathered in parking lots along Ford Road. Some sat in the chairs provided, some brought there own, some sat in the back of their vans with the gate open, some on grassy patches on blankets….but everyone enjoyed the music. From toddlers to seniors–people danced and listened. We gave away tons of prizes with our dance contests as brave souls climbed on stage to show us what they had. Thanks so much to the Canton DDA…they deserve a big shout out for throwing this party for free. As a visitor, I not only felt welcome…but almost like a resident by the time it was all over. They’d love to hear your comments on how they can make it even better next year–so let them know–or send me your comments and I’ll make sure they get them. Either use the comment section below, or write me at kovach@wvmv.com. PS: Don’t forget about the September 6th Concert with Chieli Minucci and Special EFX…it’s your chance to support the arts in Canton and see a great show….details are on our Calendar Page!
