"Detroit Metro" Bishop Ronnie P Hall

[Bishop Ronnie P Hall]

Well, hello again my fellow steelers!
Here is one of those self composed video 5 min. slide shows. It is a tribute to one of the most dynamic of cities in this land. Even though it is going through hard economic times, it shall rise to greatness once again. To the city of my birth, I salute you. Enjoy!

Great! Having worked in Detroit, I think you captured it's essence. Sent me to place in my memory that was good. I send smiles and thanks.

I really would like to hear your version of the old Martha and the Vandellas song "Heatwave" played by you Bishop Ronnie. Is that possible?

[Bishop Ronnie P Hall]

Hi Roy! (Heap)
My friend! I certainly give thanks for your encouragement. For if I can encourage someone else through the music I play, it makes the whole thing worth while. Thanks again my friend, it means a lot.

Hi Charles! (Pompe)
What a great revelation! To know you used to live in Detroit, brings me warm feelings. You never know who is on this forum. I`m glad I hit it on the head. Thanks my former Michigander!!! And smiles received.

Hey there Joachim! (Kettner)
This is a surprise, because I just happen to have that backing track on hand, and I`m in the process of enhancing it to fall within the range of copyright procedures to be able to record that piece without problems with You Tube. So stay tuned, it could happen anytime now. WOW!
And thank you so much for wanting me to try it out. I just hope, I don`t as they say "mess it up".

Hi brother Ron. WOW. I finally got time to listen to
this and "January Jam" all the way thru a few times,
and as always they are both fantastic. I always look
forward to seeing your new posts. I love to hear how
others play, even if our styles are so different and I
always admire what they can do that I can't. You have
a style that's different to me, and I really enjoy it.
I'm too old to dance, but you keep my toes tapping.
Keep em' coming. You always make my days brighter.

Hey Carl! (Kilmer, Lucky, Dr. Smooth)
I`m always glad to hear from you on every level.
And I`m always happy to know how you are progressing on the steel, after meeting the challenges of maladies that affect us all. You know, a true musician always appreciates all forms of musical genres, because they are a benefit from all of the different techniques of touch, time, movement, talent, etc. within those frameworks. "We", are no different. Especially those of us who are Steel Players. We all listen to one another to learn, appreciate, and among other things, to test our own abilities, as to whether or not where we are in the scheme of musical things. I`m just glad that none of us play alike. Man, would`nt it be boring if we all did??? Personally, I`m just glad that somebody does enjoy the music that I try to play. ;-)For me, that is what I`m all about. Not fame, fortune, competition, etc. but just the pure joy of it all. As the late entertainer Jimmy Durante said "Make someone happy, just one someone happy, you will find, that you will be happy too!" So my dear friend, Be Happy, Be blessed, the best to your family, and lets you, and I, make a lot of folk Happy!

Nice music to conjure up memories of the Detroit I knew while growing up in the 50's and 60's.

My only criticism: the photo spread needs Red Wing memorabilia to truly evoke the blue-collar Detroit experience.

[Bishop Ronnie P Hall]

Hi ya Tony! (Glassman)
Another Michigander with roots around the Motor City! Yep! You are absolutely right. I just couldn`t find a photo on the internet that I could get away with , at the time of construction of this slide show composition . But I promise on the next one concerning the "Motor City" (and there will be another!) I promise, there will be a salute to the dynamic "Red Wings", Okay? Thanks again my friend, for your encouragement, it means a lot to me.
