👍🏽 Mike took Bob to join the Local 802 Union and fronted him the money for his cabaret card. Days later in April 1961, he got called up to the BIG LEAGUES to open up for John Lee Hooker.
🍺🍺 Years later in 1975, already one of America’s most influential performers, the world-wide known 35 year-old Dylan kicked off the Rolling Thunder Revue at Folk City. He crashed Mike Porco’s surprise 61st birthday party and the rest is history.
😎 Little did anyone know, social media would change how people send messages around the world.
YES, friends, My grandfather's world renown Folk Music stadium - Gerde's Folk City - opened for business under the name Folk City for the first time exactly 64 years ago. For just 5 months prior to that opening, it was called THE FIFTH PEG. It was the brain child of three complete strangers: Mike Porco, Tom Prendergast and Israel Goodman Young. Actually, Mike had nothing to do with making his restaurant into a Folk cabaret, but we're glad he kept it open when Izzy handed the idea to Mike Porco in late May 1960.
🎬It's just one topic in the upcoming documentary about Gerde's Folk City and its illustrious owner, Mike Porco.
The Gerde’s Folk City documentary is called POSITIVELY PORCO.
If you have any interest in the music spawned in the restaurant, you will want to see it. Basically, the American singer/songwriter genre has its roots planted at Gerde's.
Back when I began documenting, the goal was wide theatrical release and world-wide unit distribution. INSTEAD it landed on Substack here

🎬 It's not your ordinary DOCUMENTARY. Yes, it will educate the world in the ways of the Porco clan, and yes it will educate Folk enthusiasts all about Gerde’s, but the inspiring message will make you cheer. Musicians have a place in this world. Always have. Always will. The 'less' famous are all part of the whole. Someone watching this will one day change the world with a song.
For years I kept telling people this film is coming, It’s coming, IT’S COMING‼️ Now IT’S HERE🚨
