Mitch Ryder likes our Marauders!

[Motorhead350]

I gave Mitch a call today to say hello and make sure he made it home alright from Rock Camp. Well he did just fine and actually asked how the Mercury was doing. I told him the tick is nearly gone and it's now in winter mode. He said "Good. I wanna hear how that beast develops." I guess next time I am near Detroit I'll be stopping by and giving him a ride. :burnout:

He really liked it and wanted one of his own. Maybe I'll help him find one someday and I should tell him they come in blue! It truly is The Devil With The Blue Dress On!

;)

BTW next time I'll have pics to prove it happened!

I guess we hit it off when we discussed Rock N' Roll. He told me how his first record was produced by a former member of The Crew Cuts and how he produced Freddy Boom Boom Cannons first hit. It wasn't Palisades Park... he couldn't remember the song. I jumped right in with Tallahassee Lassie and Mitch was shocked I knew the song, let alone the answer. It was pretty funny.

That is awesome !!!!

I grew up in that era of rock and I remember Mitch Rider and the Detroit Wheels * VERY * well.

? Mark and the Mysterians was another Michigan group (Bay City ?) from back then, if you ever heard "96 Tears"..


The Motown sound of Barry Gordy and all the famous singers, he spawned, out of Motown and tamla records -- like Stevie Wonder, the Marvelettes, the Temptations, the Countours, Martha and the Vandellas, the Supremes, Mary Wells, the Spinners, Gladys Knight and the Pips, Jr.Walker and the All Stars, and Jimmy Ruffin, all of them, I still remember as a high school student in the 1960's and to this day.

All part of Michigan's rock and roll legacy - tell your friend someone here in California with a Grand Marquis remembers his work, just like yesterday !!

Cool, man. Make sure he gets a Blue one :beer:

Great!..... That and a $1.00 will get you a cup of coffee.

Me and Dom are similar in music... that may be it though! haha. We both feel we grew up in the wrong decade. I was working on my car listening to the 50's on Sirius Radio and I thought to myself, I grew up in the wrong era!

Next time you speak with him, tell him I said hello.

Also, tell him his secret is still safe with me.

Did u know all that MoTown was done by the same studio band? The Funk Brothers. So it's all the same players, just different singers. All were recorded in a garage with no heat or A/C to this day. I love 96 Tears, ever heard the reference to that song in another? Human Fly by The Cramps.

$1? Where you getting coffee? The gas station? It's $4 for everything here.

I love that channel more than anything else. I hate being in 2010!


On the upside, Mitch actually called me yesterday to shoot the breeze. Asked who is going to win this weekend, Detroit or Chicago, we both said Chicago! He wanted to help build up the cars tranny and rear end until I told him what it had. I said I might come out to the Motor City to drag race a few other Marauders. Mitch wants to go! :burnout:

Good times!
