Yep, I have an idea of what Indiana can be like, I lived in Southern
Michigan from 65 to 72, in the outer suburbs of Detroit. Used to go from
110F in summer to -10F in winter. Talk about a land of extremes!
Spent all my teenage years there, so consequently have a love of soul,
motown, hard rock, funk, etc.
