Subject: RE: Songs about Five Points? From: Charley Noble Date: 08 Sep 03 - 04:33 PM Probably the old Five Points neighborhood in downtown Manhattan, near City Hall. Anna, what kinds of songs are you really after and are you looking for songs from a particular historic period? There are lots of drinking songs but they're not peculiar to Five Points. Read 'Em & Weep by Sigmund Spaeth has a lot of popular songs from the mid to late 19th century. These would be typically sung in the local music halls and pubs in NYC. Don't remember any which mentioned Five Points. Charley Noble |
