Greenwich Village Music Festival
From Bob Porco whose grandfather was Mike Porco owner of Gerdes Folk City where is all began: "Song written by Bob Batch who is playing lead. Dominic is such a class act. Speak to him for two minutes and you know what his passion is...music. Can still belt it out. So many people were happy to see him at the reun...ion since he spent many a year emcee'ing at Gerdes thru the period of 64-74. Dom introduced Arlo and alice's restaurant for the first time at Gerdes. And he stretched into the Willie Nile, Tom waits et al crowd, too. You should take your vid cam and go to 89th and York Friday mornings 10-12 to hear him play....and get the best chicken sandwich "
