Hey Mudcatters (and Art),

As promised, I'm back digitizing my old videos. This was supposed to be a retirement project and I am partially retired so I'm back at it. I've set the wayback machine to 1983 and discovered a 20 minute set Art did for the 25th birthday party for the No Exit Coffeehouse in Chicago (the Lunt and Glenwood incarnation). It is processed and uploaded and available on YouTube:

It includes an incognito introduction by Anne Hills and at the end, Art is joined by dobro maestro Paul Breidenbach.

I think this is his entire set. There were a couple breaks in the video but I don't think I actually deleted anything.   It may share a couple jokes with his set I uploaded previously but I think all the songs are new.

Interestingly, ALL previous and present No Exit owners were present in the audience except Peter Steinberg (who was assumedly busy running Perriwinkle's). There is a shadow that passes back and forth in front of the camera a couple times that I am pretty sure is Sue Kozin. The shirt looks familiar...

There are other videos from the party coming soon. More of Brian Gill and Peggy Compton, Chuck (Brodsky?), Jim Craig... haven't heard him sing in YEARS. And more.

Enjoy!
