Dave Ruch Canal Street String Band free concerts (9) RE: Canal Street String Band free concerts 04 Aug 13

Thanks sciencegeek for the "plug." The band is named after the former Canal Street in Buffalo NY USA, a commercial strip on the waterfront where "vice unbridled ran its course" in the nineteenth century (quote from an 1855 newspaper). Buffalo being the place where the Erie Canal met with the Great Lakes, its harbor was bustling with commerce (both maritime and otherwise) all through the nineteenth century. The sailors (many of whom had circled the globe) referred to it as "the wickedest street in the world." Couldn't think of a better place to name a band after.
