Well, Guy, as certain as you sound, I think, no, I am POSITIVE (99% sure) that you're wrong!

I just checked with brother Richard. He and a special lady were on a special date that night. Just the first of many for the two o' them. The night is vividly etched in his mind's composite eyes. It was DEFINITELY in the original Gate Of Horn that the LP Bob Gibson and Bob Camp At The Gate Of Horn was recorded---the same room where I first saw Sandy Paton, Josh White, Joan Baez, Paul Clayton, The New Lost City Ramblers, Lord Richard Buckley, Leon Bibb, Theo Bickel, Judy Collins, Roger McGuinn, John Carbo, Odetta, Barbara Dane, Ron And Nama, Brock Peters---hell, even Ray Watkins (remember him?). Not Lenny Bruce though. I saw Lenny at the NEW Gate Of Horn---one of the nights they busted him 'cause the first Mayor Daley didn't like his pointing out stuff about the church in the same breath that he also noted that women had breasts. (Also because C.K. was way underaged and was there hanging out and/or waiting tables.)

Later, I remember her sister, T.K., walking L.B. up Rush Street and down State Street ("that great street") around and around--all night to keep him "awake" after he'd just obout O.D.'d---and she was the only reason he hadn't YET.

And we were all young enough to think that all of it was cool as all hell----which it was from where we were watching and listening then, but not so much now mostly because we are here now and still alive while Lenny, and Paul Butterfield and Mike Bloomfield and Malcolm Hale and so many others are, and have been, as dead as if a tsunami just washed 'em off the face of the Earth. And I sure do miss all of them!!

Yeah, it was the old Gate Of Horn.
