Sitting here reading the e-mail got a couple I thought we could read together.

 

Brian writes: Hi Ben, every time that I pick up The Gazette, I read your article. I know that you talk a lot about the local music scene. So, I thought you might be interested some information about a Farmington Hills resident Laura Lee Perkins. Ms Perkins just found out that she was in the Rockabilly Hall of Fame. I was co-owner of Studio 7, which was in downtown Farmington for 3 years. Ms Perkins wanted to order CDs, so she went looking for us. We already moved out of the space, but someone else in the building told them where to find me. My new office for my other business Visibles is across the street from the Village Mall. We're above the bridal store and Gala. So now she's a customer of mine. She ordered her CDs from me and now I'm working on her web site. For more information see www.lauraleeperkins.com or the Hall of Fame web page www.rockabillyhall.com/LauraLeePerkins.html.
