I hung at the Blue Lanturn on Stanley with people like Bruce Murdoch and Sean Gagnier in the winter of 64 until I left Montreal in the fall of 65. An increible list of "names" went through that basement door, like Richie Havens, Tom Paxton, Tim Buckley and Eric Anderson (to name a few.
The Lanturn was owned?/run by a fellow named Manny. He was also Penny Lang's manager at the time I believe. Sometime during that period (summer of 65 if I'm not mistaken) Gary Eisenkraft took it over and renamed it the New Penelope. He later moved it to the Sherbrooke St. location, which I visited when I came back for Expo in 67.
