From across the corn fields where the woods got heavy, Johnny Winter sounds possessed Michael 'Hooker Man' Brand.

Current Band=CDF (Cashman/Drysdale/Furlo). Forever a Saginaw music maven, Mick Furlo began a string of musical excellence that dates back to the early '80s. His band was the farm-team for many of the rock greats to leave the area, particularly two members of The Verve Pipe. A former club owner, Furlo's golden pipes have become a mid-Michigan touchstone from solo stints, to The Jitters, Savior Machines and his music continues to thrive through today in CDF Band.

The players, the reason it took two and a half years, the sounds, production, the Michigan Rock elements, the concept album elements, and everything in between. Much like Season 1 Episodes 1 and 2 on Dr. J and Sir Fred, they turn the tables to get the low down on what Mr. Mike calls, 'A

As an author, he's the final word on Hastings Street myth and lore--the blues, the blood, the boundaries bloated and bemused. When it comes to what Hollywood says, they refer to his books and then twist it up with some glamor that never happened to sell tickets. Cohassey calls their bullshit and bluffs. He talked to those that knew John Lee Hooker, that worked the strip, that knew where the actual clubs were and went behind the scenes. Ahmad Jamal, Yusef Lateef, Elvin Jones, and ...Jack Kerouac

Lane Valliere was in the hot seat as a guitarist/bassist in the '60s/early '70s Mid-Michigan Music scene, which included The Bossmen, ? and the Mysterians, The Frost, and Meatloaf. From stints with various bands, including performance on Timmothy Ward's infamous solo album Strange But True from 51 years ago, a freak car wash accident led Valliere down a different path. He took to WNEM TV5 as the Director in 1975 and lasted there until he retired in 2017. When he found he could find new ways of

Dixieland at its apex, is a tradition and musical revolution long awaiting its rebirth, like the recent resurgence in Bluegrass music (thanks in part to Billy Strings from Michigan). No one raised the bar on a national level higher than the mighty King from Saginaw, Dave Opperman and The New Reformation Band. Not only a musical torchbearer, Opperman opens up to us in his golden age (80's) to give the full, unedited story from his own lips of the memories, the tours, the beginning, and the New

Donning the proper cowboy hat in the Mid-West isn't always the way to rock. Butch Heath did not care one bit. Stories, feelings, songs, the old fashioned way, Heath had his share of attempts with rockabilly and a touch of Rock Around The Clock. But it was the singers, songs, and songwriting that told the old tales like no one else could that pulled Heath into his own time zone as a master country artist. For the first time, we get to share HIS story. Here in part 2 of 2, we get to hear about the man
