Trying To Keep Warm: Trying to keep off the winter chill, these workers at the Community Center at 502 E. Washington warm their hands near a portable heater while wearing their heavy coats. Left to right are Robin Giber, Fred Golden, Cathy Barnett, Joe Tiboni, Gail Johnson, and Bill Tanner. Volunteers remain at work in the building, which is without heat due to a boiler crack Tuesday. A request for donations toward the purchase of a new boiler has been made to the community. The building houses Drug Help, Free People's Clinic, Ozone House and the Community Center Project. A spokesman from the group said today they have received only a few calls offering to send a donation but they are hopeful of getting the $2,200 for the boiler next week. All organizations except the Free People's Clinic are still in operation in the building.

AADL Productions Podcast: Michael Erlewine

Michael Erlewine, author, archivist, and founder of the All Music Guide spoke with AADL staff about his new book with photographer Stanley Livingston, Blues in Black & White: The Landmark Ann Arbor Blues Festivals. In this interview prior to the public talk, Ann Arbor's old music clubs and coffee shops come alive as Michael takes us on a personal journey of the Ann Arbor music scene circa 1962-1972. He covers a range of musical topics, including the early folk era, when he hitch-hiked with Bob Dylan; the influence of pre-hippie culture on Iggy Pop; the influence of John Sinclair on Ann Arbor culture; and his personal passion for Chicago city blues, which led to the Ann Arbor blues festivals and inspired the formation of his band, The Prime Movers Blues Band, shown below playing at the Schwabin Inn. You can listen to the interview below. You can also view Michael's public talk at the Library.
