Subject: RE: Curious about 'The Washington Squares'
This brings back great memories. I cherish my vinyl copy of their first LP.   I loved their song "New Generation" - it was sort of an anthem, at least for me, of the music that was being created in the 1980's folk scene. I recall seeing them at Folk City and Speakeasy, and if my memory serves me right - I think they appeared at a benefit we did for WFDU way back when. When Bruce Jay Paskow passed away in the early 90's it brought an end to the group, and we can only imagine what they could have gone on to do.   

I haven't played the LP on my show in years, this might be the incentive to dust off that old vinyl and give them another spin! Thanks for resurrecting this thread!!
