He talked a little bit about his bar times before he hit it big .

He worked hard to get where he is today vs some of the new artists of today and has a very loyal following. I seen him last year in concert at the Palace, seen a lot of people my age but also a lot of 30 something's as well.

I saw him in 69 or 70, he actually played for a dance in our high school gym.

I lived right down the street from his drummer at one time.

When I was the manager of "The Urban Cowboy" saloon in Westland, he stopped by one night and sang a few songs.

Another night this big burly guy came in and asked me "ya got anywhere we can park a big ol bus ?? I said welllll.........so he says we're "The Charlie Daniels Band".....oh hell yes, I'll find you a place. They came in and jammed for about 2 hours.

We used to get all kinds stopping by and jam at the bar:
Claude King............"Wolverton Mountain"
Johnny Lee............."Lookin for Love in All The Wrong Places"
Foghat
David Frizzell
David Allan Coe

I would have loved hanging out with you back then to see all those guys .I kind of thought you guys would be fans of Seger since he was from there .I have seen his show here everytime he has hit Atlanta for the last 30 years which aint really that many times as he dont tour a lot .

That's way too cool :cool:

I am jealous Ken. I grew up listening to him and have loved his music. He even put my name in one of his songs. lol

For all you Segar fans, a article from the Detroit Free Press on 50 years of making music for us fans.

Pretty good article Ric. I remember CKLW like it was yesterday. Damn, time has flown by.

I listened to him on AM radio, 8 tracks, cassettes, discs, and now on Pandora on the computer.

My buddy Ralph had a 72 BB Camaro in the mid 70's. Whenever we were in his car and "Ramblin, Gamblin Man" came on the radio, he would stop in the road and do a hell of a burnout. Just one of those things, I suppose. Life was a hell of a lot simpler back then.
