My good friend, Red Robinson, is all excited. Tonight, Friday, September 15, is the official opening ceremonies of the brand new Red Robinson Show Theatre at the Boulevard Casino in the Vancouver, B.C. community of Coquitlam. Now what is very exciting about this is it's not Red himself who is undertaking this project. The company that operates the Boulevard Casino is naming the theatre in order to honour Red for all he has done for both music and broadcasting in British Columbia.Red is a pioneering disc jockey, who at age 16, would get a daily pass to leave high school early so that he could get to the radio station to do his own show. He's the first DJ in Canada to play Rock and Roll and Rhythm and Blues records.
Throughout his career he has been a maverick, and fortunately he has been recognized for his many contributions to broadcasting and the community. I know he is most thrilled and honoured to be one of the few and first disc jockeys to be elected into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio.
I am very pleased that I have been invited to attend the gala opening of the Red Robinson Show Theatre this evening. I will be sure to let you know all about who attended and who the performers were that provided the entertainment for the premiere show.
What a show it's going to be! More later...
Michael
