HEAD ON OVER to Substack and dig for the Gerde’s Folk City Doc on Bob Porco’s Substack.
It’s not hiding under an ALIAS!!! Go get some education!!! Go LOVE The Gerde’s Documentary🍺🍺🍺
🔥POSITIVELY PORCO is a unique collection of unguarded and inspiring moments shared by the performers and personalities who- along with club owner Mike Porco- played a crucial role in the rise and propagation of what became known as the Greenwich Village Folk and Blues Revival. The film will enlighten even the most staunch Folk Revival enthusiast and historian.
Back when I began documenting, the goal was wide theatrical release and world-wide unit distribution. INSTEAD it landed on Substack here
