I was going to post a blog about this a couple of weeks ago unfortunately I got sidetracked by work and school; now that things have mellowed out a bit here's my blog regarding the Detroit Music Awards (DMA). First of all let me say that I had a great time at the DMA I can't believe it was my first time actually attending the show after all these years, in the future I'm going to try to attend every year. One of the things about the show I liked the most was seeing all the different styles of music Detroit has to offer. I enjoyed watching the female rapper May Day perform that night I wish her the best of luck with her career in music we definitely need to have more female rappers in the music business. I was overjoyed to see The Miracles perform that night as well, and I have to admit that they brought back a lot of good memories. It just goes to show that even though those guys are in their 50's and 60's they can still put on a great show just as good if not better than the younger groups that are out there now.
The Highlight that night was Ted Nugent and the Amboy Dukes, they received a lifetime achievement award. Those of you who were around in the 60's (or can at least remember the 60's) may remember the Amboy Dukes hit "Journey to the Center of the Mind". If you listened to Detroit rock radio back then I'm sure you remember the song. They also had a hit with the song "Baby Please Don't Go" I found a clip of them on Youtube performing it at the DMA and I've included it in this blog for your enjoyment.
So overall I had a great time at the DMA and if any of you guys would like to join me next year let me know. I don't have time to comment on everyone's performance that night but I will say that everyone did a great job representing the Motor City that night.
