Tribute from Eugene Groesbeck

SUBMITTED BY: Eugene Groesbeck, Listener

Ed Love epitomizes Jazz. I’m 60 years old & have been listening to him on WDET for over half my life. A significant portion of my extensive jazz music collection stems from Ed’s playlist over the years. His knowledge of the genre is encyclopedic. My wife & I used to really enjoy listening to his Christmas “switching in the kitchen” program. I only had the pleasure of meeting him once at a Detroit Jazz Festival when he was at a WDET booth. He was very gracious & accommodating. Whenever I pledged my support to public radio during his program I would tell him to keep on keeping on which I hope he continues to do because I can’t imagine Sunday nights without him!
