in the history of detroit techno, there are so many artists who made it all happen. but it wouldn't have been as remotely successful without the seemingly endless encouragement, generosity, blood and sweat of a handful of people behind the scenes. without question ron murphy was one of the top people on that particular list.
motown murphy was the man, anyone who met him will inarguably tell you that. and while the daily humdrum press of the motor city will continue to report on the auto show, new casinos and plans to rebuild downtown..there'll be a couple hundred people and dozens more kindred spirits and expatriates who will be quietly reflecting over the next few days on the massive contributions he made to detroit's cultural legacy. thank you, sir.
