This is me playing records at Cass Cafe, one of my favorite places in Detroit. A real art gallery with a restaurant inside including a staff as quirky as the artists that present their work here. This night was special, because I was able to share my favorite dish there "The Love Basket" with the people present, my friend Roger, the DJs of Watusi High, especially Jay "Bear" Daniel and our shared extended families. It is one of my dreams to present in this space, but I've never felt like a Corridor artist. My feeling is the work I do lacks the angst, poetry and spontaneity of the community. And I want to honor the spirit of the Cass Corridor, even while it becomes something different, perhaps even better. When you are here, please visit the Cafe, have a love basket and talk to some people that love Detroit, like I do. |
