Grew up in NYC in the '60's - actually a hamlet called East Atlantic Beach - but went to HS in Manhattan at Xavier. Parents were so happy I wasn't hanging with local LB degenerates had a free pass to NY on weekends. Roamed NY as the only short hairs but we loved live music and went everywhere - you probably busted on the group of crew cuts in the places you were hanging. Trying to put together a list of every show I have beem to in my life (Starting with Murray the K on 58th Street too) and this brings back and wakes up memories. Yes - some of my feverish dreams did happen. Ungaros' the Fillmore., Max's, loved the Action House/Rockpile in Island park, the Scene, and on and one. Thanks Dave – I love this site.

You pretty much layed out my entire life. Like you I'm a bass player. Just picked up a cheap fretless recently, I'm beefing it up. I'm mostly a Fender and Ampeg player. It's amazing, no matter how many times I look at old song lists from back in the day, the memories it ignites! The Beatles, Hendrix, The Zombies! Music is our spiritual connection and I thank God every day. It's great you are helping kids get music into their lives. Keep up the great work. Gotta get ready for a local band gig tonight, I'll be back. B. Hi David, Thanks for the work you put into this site. You pretty much layed out my entire life. Like you I’m a bass player.
