Yeah Downriviera, I usually confuse Howie Young For Bryan Watson. What was Howie Young famous for?

I remember the Ice Capades and some sort of circus event at Olympia as well as the Harlem Globetrotters. I saw a lot of Red Wing games including Game 6 of the 1966 Stanley Cup Finals, in which the Canadians clinched the cup on a disputed goal in overtime. I was devastated because had the Wings won, my uncle's company would have engraved the cup and I would have gotten to see it. On that night after the game, I met my childhood football hero, the Lion's Terry Barr, crossing Grand River after the game.

And, on Sept 6, 1964 I saw my first concert there. It was this quartet.
From Liverpool.
