What a great Find.
I have been playing this station since you posted it.
My search list is growing daily!

Such variety.
Thanks so much.

I have been growing so bored with the PWL station.

I call it "Hot Storage"

I had the best of times in the best of places.

Manhattan and the Pines in the Seventies, Eigthties;
San Francisco too.

Many trips to Europe.

Today, I'm glad to be living in a small town. Cable Internet makes big city living un-necessary for me.

Thanks to ebay--I have been able to find most of the records I always searched for in every flea market and record store in every city I visited.

Thats what I thought when I moved here, still find it a little slow though. Don't you ever need to get out and dance??

My Mind does.

My Knees don't.

Even if I went out, the relentless need of DJs to play what is new rather than what makes you move spoils the experience.

I would like to be going to Fort Lauderdale for the Red Ball party with Robbie Leslie August 21. But I have an invisible chain.

I see your point, Ft lauderdale sounds fun, but I'm waiting until October fro the Trocadero transfer reunion in Sanfrancisco.
That's gonna be a great night.

I used to walk down to the Saint from 39th Street, dance from 11pm to 5 or 6AM--every other event seems so short.

I read the description of the Trocadero parties and they seem quite predictable. The long hours let the DJs play obscuria.
I guess the age of being surprised and the hearing the unknown is over for me.

I totally agree. it's always very predicatble as all these re union type events are. Its just a chance to get out there on the odd occasion and re live thos e wonderful moments. I went to the saint too but only on a handful of occasions, itwas wonderful.

How long did that take you Jim? I'm asking 'cos I'm off to Manhattan soon for the 1st time & I plan to pay homage to where the Saint (along with other sites of discos from the past)was & I'll be staying in the midtown/theatre district area & plan to get about on foot as I want to soak up the atmosphere of the place.

Half an hour.
Direct flat walk down second avenue.
(Warmed me up for dancing)

Theater district is the other side of town.
I don't think there is any evidence of Twelve West Left.
I pretty sure Flamingo's (Bank) building is still there.

Walking is the only way to keep up with the changes in NYC.
If you have limited time or energy--take the subway to the region you want to visit and then wander there.

Thanx jim, I'll walk as much as possible as I like to stay fit also! After the recent underground bombings in london, i also feel a little nervous about using the subway.

Sandra Dee, I doubt Charlie Grappone's "Vinyl mania" store is still there , but it might be noice to visit where it stood. I went once but I'm sure Jim can tell us where it was.

[SandraDee]

I've checked & there is definitely a Vinyl Mania store; not sure whether it's the original one but I'll definitely be visiting!
