Note to David… HOWDEEE !!! You forgot Minnie Pearl….I worked for your Dad; Dr Leo Speeris.. I was the one who on occasions had to MC the shows,( will never forget when Tim Buckley broke a guitar string just as I introduced him and had to try to keep the crowd at bay with a little humor.) WAS NOT FUNNY!!! Tim Buckley and Mike Quattro would always argue who was going to open for who. Kinda wish Mike would’ve won that night. Also ran the center spotlight. And will never forget when my color gels were out of sync w/ the other spots ( Aerosmith road mgr screw up) and I had to play it by ear when he called off the number gel to hit. Me and Rick Lockhart ( Rick worked for Steve G.) watched over the stage. I was the one that found the breakers under the stage when the New York Dolls used to trip them. ( Do you remember that that stage used to drop and rise for loading?) Of course you do. I was also there when your Dad , Gabe Glantz, and Russ Gibb had court over the phone in the entryway over the rights to the Aerosmith show that night. I think that’s the night Steve Glantz got thrown into the backstage wall because they were ordered out of the bldg. and the force of it broke-up the plaster in the stairwell, stage left ! ( Main Backstage access.) ( He was pissed to say the least. ) Oh yeah, I’m also the one who’d change the marquee. I’ve been reading some of the, “ facts” about the Michingan Palace. Were these people even their? For one thing, Sly never showed up for his show, but the opening act, the CHAMBERS BROS. accompanied by Jackson Browne made the night worth wild. And the band Benny and the Jets was actually; Lenny and the Jets! Lenny G. is Steve G’s brother and Gabe Glantz ( who was an attorney )( and Steve and Lenny’s father) asked if I could put a band together Lenny. There’s MUCH MORE to that story ! So how long did you and your Dad run the Funny Farm nightclub after the Palace? I just happened to find this site after looking for old R&R photos. Tom Charney took a lot of them but I lost touch with just about everyone from those days. If you have any old photos, please contact me … contact me even if you don’t . I’m in Denver now. My e-mail address is . Sincerely , stan eiza
