David Blair, your words and your voice will stay with us. Rest in Peace.

As Detroit turns 310 I celebrate it’s grit, dirt, culture and beauty.There have been so many songs written about and even more written from my Dirty City. I compiled a short list for Yewknee’s Summer Mix Series (with technical help from  Jeremy Okai Davis)

The late, great D Blair said it best in his poem “While I was away” 

Detroit, I love you. My heart beats like tool and die for you…
