Sweder;
Just to let you know that I did watch this and enjoyed it very much. So thanks for the recommendation.
Cities try and stake a claim as being the birthplace of different music, but this was quite an impressive array of emerging styles. I've always been a big Talking Heads fan but didn't realise they had started at this club. I'd never heard Patti Smith but could hear alot of other women in her voice who must cite her as a big influence.
I didn't get to visit New York until the early 80's when I was a teenager. I was lucky enough to have a sister who worked in the music business there. She lived on 76th and 5th. Days spent strolling through Greewich Village and Central Park; buskers body-popping to break beats; great bars and clubs in the evenings; pizza slices to-go; Jazz, Ribs, Manhattan Ice-teas and Charlie. Halcion days.
You should get Andy to tell you about his teenage NYC/Dylan adventures. I've never managed to squeeze them out of him.
