Pause and listen to Major “Mule” Holley when you see this post. Holley was one of Detroit’s many major jazz musicians, a great bassist, whose music reshaped the United States even before Motown got its groove. And plan on joining me in conversation #MichiganPoetLaureate #MelbaBoyd at one of my beloved independent bookstores, Source Booksellers on the campus of #waynestateuniversity on this coming Sunday afternoon. #myamericabooktour #langstonondemocracy
