Instead of selling you pay-per-view episodes (Porco early life, the Hoot, The Fifth Peg, Bob Dylan, Phil Ochs, Gerde’s between 1977-1980, Jack Hardy etc)
I am giving you EVERYTHING for pay what you want. Substack has minimums and that is $5. They offer you a monthly option, a yearly option and a GIFT option.
Without a paid subscription, you get free emails and comments but NOT the doc.
So, IF YOU WANT TO WATCH THE WHOLE MOVIE IN YOUR OWN TIME
SUBSCRIBE and seek out the post that houses the GERDE’S FOLK CITY DOC.
DO NOT MISS THIS FILM
IF YOU have any interest in the ROCK, FOLK ROCK, SONGWRITER, ETHNIC, BLUES and Americana music that you’ve loved all these years,
