This is not meant to be an eulogy. But, I am very shocked of this Terrible Great loss of Laura Gavoor.
My Deepest Sympathy, Thoughts, and Prayer go out to the Gavoor Family. Laura was one of very few Women in the Detroit Electronic Music Underground Scene when I started my Record Label in 1990 (Acacia Records), that help Build our City's Techno Dream in the past decade. Laura not only Booked myself on various DJ Venues, but alot of other Artists in Detroit and the Surrounding areas, such as Norma Jean Bell, Theo Parrish, KDJ, Kenny Larkin, and Juan Atkins to name a few. I met Laura in the early 90's . She was always so full of energy, dances (at Clubs), very down to earth, and extremely Supportive of the Detroit Electronic Music Scene, including ALL of it's Artists. She not only managed her Booking agency for over 10 years (and did very well), but Organized and Promoted, some of the Best underground Parties with Juan Atkins, Derrick May, and Jeff Mills to name a few. Laura also Administered, and Consulted a couple of Detroit's Most innovative Independent Record Labels. She was like a Sister to me, being one of the first most Prominent "real " Female Supporters of Techno Music I met to date. Someone who I can call anytime of the day and night and say "Hey, what ya working on now?", or just "how are you?", she would just chat away. Her energy, Free-spirited Soul, and History of Support and work will dearly be missed.... We Love you Laura- May you rest in Peace.... K-HAND Kelli Hand Detroit-History.com
