I hired a crew to film it…or better said…TO NOT MISS CAPTURING IT ALL!!!!!
Do you think we over-did it?
We
NOT ONLY
Over did it
But we virtually hijacked
The Gracious Village Underground from owner Noam Dworman.
We stayed around
For SEVEN hours on a Monday in June 2010.
After closing, we stayed some more.
BRIBERY of the house manager gets you everywhere
THIS

Forever. Yet here it is.

Music concert footage

When over
FORTY MUSICIANS
and their entourage
Shared the stage
TOGETHER
one last time at Folk City
TO HONOR
MIKE PORCO
THE DEAN OF FOLK CITY

Thirteen and a half years!!!

🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺
For the very last number
I shared a mic with Rod MacDonald
For a rendition of
Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door
This all happened
Sometime in the 7th hour
On a Monday in 2010
When the main establishment was already closed
MY FIRST PRODUCTION
I eventually went on to produce two dozen more shows (including the 60th Anniversary Concert posted on my YouTube channel @BobPorco).
We kinda upset the oncoming comedy show
(Cancelled because we wouldn’t go away)
But
Because I recorded
The FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY CONCERT,
NO ONE will forget
🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🎬🎬🎬🎬🎬🎬🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼
📣 After the cameras were put away
Some of us went back to Frandsen’s for a
Wee dram of whiskey and little guitar playing🎼
And we all went home. I walked East with David Massengill about 3:30AM.
🚨The end.🚨
I have other home movies taken at many concerts, backstages and off- hours. Please help make this SUBSTACK PAGE a success so I may share much of what I have in the future.
Here’s FOLK in your eye,
Bob
