LOST ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL SOUL JUST RECENTLY. Many of you may not of heard of him or know his name. He was responsible for making sure we all played and heard the Motown music in Detroit. A kind, caring, wonderful lifelong friend who was looking forward to coming to The Last Reunion.
Gordon Prince and I spent many days fishing the unspoiled waters of some of those northern Canadian fly in lakes many only dream about. We’d just talk and wonder at it all. Two young guys looking at their futures and wondering where they would take us, Gordon’s future is complete now. He has joined so many now in heaven.
So we must stress at this time it is important — if you are planning in attending — get your reservations in now. Room capacity is limited for this, for what will be, an unforgettable event. Time is closing in on the calendar. Don’t wait for September to get here. Nor the last minute. By then it may be too late.
Robin and I will look forward to greet you, meet with you, be with you for a final time . . . remember this will never, ever happen again.
As someone said, another reason we must do this . . . last reunion. Honoring Robin Seymour and many others. See a partial-celebrity listing here . . . seriously, if you’re planning on coming get your reservation now before it gets to capacity. I’ll see you again Gordy . . . see you my friend . . . .
To those of you who already have placed your reservations, our heartfelt thanks. See you there. See you then. September 14.
And will we see you at our Last Reunion?

Once in a Lifetime Celebration – Robin Seymour at 93!
And all of us together. One Last Time.
When Robin started there were no real DJs. He was unique. There was no Motown music. No music from the likes of Bob Seger, Mitch Ryder, Martha Reeves, Jack Scott, Mary Wilson, Smokey Robinson. Stevie Wonder, hundreds more local bands and groups. It is said he launched 1000 hits. Many from those people who just may not have had their start had it not been for Robin.
I am reaching out to all of them and every person now on the radio in Detroit to just stop by this great celebration to honor Robin and meet you. Mitch – Bob – Smokey. Are you there ? If you’re one of the artists whose career was touched by this icon, or now on radio/TV, writers, or local officials, let me know and come to this. I will add you to the list of celebs.
Listen, there is no angel supporting this. We are doing it ourselves. So we need your reservations early, now. Great memories to see and hear and hopefully some of those stars who must not forget when . . . . A Bird named Robin helped them to fly and launched their careers.
But make your reservations now. September 14. Suburban Collection Showplace in Novi, Michigan. for more information, go here:

THIS IS A PASSION. PLEASE SHARE THIS. SPREAD THE WORD “THE LAST REUNION – MEET & GREET” (Updated; May 6)
We’ve lost so many. Uncle Russ just days ago. Many years ago I was shooting a TV series for CBS I went to WJR in Detroit early in the morning. We set up the camera and lights. I was waiting for my friend. But he didn’t make it that last morning. JP had passed away. The TV series happened. Mike Clark of “Drew & Mike” was on it. But we lost him too.
Remember Alan Almond? Ever meet him? What about Brother Joel Sebastian or Dave Dials or Bill Bonds or Dave Shafer or Mickey Shorr. How I’d love to talk with Mickey again . . . and Dave.
So this is our chance. This Last Reunion. Never been done. Us all together in the same room to meet and greet each other . . . and listen . . . and share . . . and laugh and remember and ask those questions you’ve always wanted to ask . . . personally. Doesn’t seem fair that I and my colleagues can talk on one side of the speaker and you can just listen . . . but we never meet.
So let’s do this before we can’t. The room is only so big and it will be full . . . And by the way WE’RE ALL buying our reservations too, I have mine. Don’t wait.
So let’s Meet & Greet – September 14. See you then . . . one last time?
Celebrity list is growing every day. These five are Yours Truly (sans horn), Bob Green; WKNR, Charlie O’Brien; the Big 8, Jim “JJ”Johnson; WOMC, and yes . . . that’s Denny McLain, and (more names will be added as) the list will continue to grow.
Until we’re full, get your reservations by going here:

Wow, looks like a great time. Unfortunately, my schedule prevents me from attending and I live in Nevada. Have nice memories of Robin, having watched Swingin’ Time throughout my teens. The wife and I also hosted one of Robin and his wife’s painting parties in our home-thru our neighbor Jan Smolinski, who was a regular attendee at Swingin’ Time. Still have a few of the paintings purchased from Robin and have had one up in the living room since purchasing in the 1990’s. Please let Robin know he was a big part of our teen lives and appreciated.
