Thanks, Steve; I'm ready. I'll be interested in hearing the discussion. As far as Greenwich Village was concerned (and probably all the urban folk centers,) each of us remembers those times based on who we were at that time, as much as what was happening. There were pople who came for the music and the drugs, people who came for the music and the politics, people who came for music and free sex (called free love, back in those days,) People who just came for the music, and people who edned up there because it felt like home. I came for the music, and for a home. I had no clue what I was going to do with my life, and I wasn't alone. It was much clearer to me what I didn't want to do than what I wanted to do. That was all right, in the Village. Most of us figured it out, later.
