Program recommendation: Turn the Page-The Bob Seger Story
Hello there, Last night we hosted Dr. Edward S. Balian, author of the only biography (so far) on Detroit's own Bob Seger: *Turn the Page: The Bob Seger Story.* Dr. Balian was very entertaining, informative & knowledgeable on his subject. He brought along a portable turn-table and played some Seger albums while he & his wife set-up for their program. He even gave out little prizes throughout his presentation for those attendees able to correctly answer his trivia questions. Ed's band used to open for Seger in the 60s in and around the Detroit area, so his knowledge of the local music scene (e.g. venues, local record labels, etc.) is extensive--and first-hand as well. (Ed. & Bob Seger also had the same entertainment attorney for 40 years--and often crossed paths that way.) Based in Northville, Ed is currently wrapping up his presentations for the fall, but is expected to be back out on the road in April 2023 if anyone is interested in booking him. David M.

He is here at the Hudson Library today at 1 pm if you have the time to drive and get here. I can also recommend a lovely little spot to eat afterwards. Would love to have you join us.
