It's OFFICIAL ☀️☀️☀️
This is the NEW O'Fishal TITLE of the Gerde's Folk City Doc: Ā. Completeúnk Nöwn BOB DYLAN WEIGHS IN ON X
☀️☀️☀️☀️
As a gift to myself this holiday season, I gave myself a new name. I killed off the name ‘bob porco’ and have taken to signing my autographs as A. Completunk Nown. 🎁
I now have RE-NAMED the GERDESFOLKCITYDOC as the film also known as
Ā. Completeúnk Nöwn. The phonics were missing.
Now the accents and all are on or close.
Looooong A with a dot. You don’t actually utter the ‘dot.’ Completeúnk is my middle name. Friends and family just call me Completeúnk.
Even people from the old days, they know me as just Completeúnk.
I’m going to have to work on the new logo for the GERDESFOLKCITYDOC.
positively porco had an old trailer. Ages ago. Here it was:
POSITIVELY PORCO is the definitive documentary film made about New York City's first Folk Music cabaret, GERDE’S FOLK CITY.
Filmed to enlighten even the most staunch Folk Revival enthusiast and historian, the Gerde’sFolkCityDoc, POSITIVELY PORCO, is the story of FOLK CITY OWNER Mike Porco and the club a thousand musicians called HOME.
MIKE PORCO was instrumental in, literally, setting the stage for the music revolution of the '60's. (Pun…meaning he cut the wood and nailed together a custom stage for his restaurant)
During Mike Porco’s stewardship (1960-1980) the KING OF CLUBS hosted early performances by a constellation of Folk and traditional music stars. Many American radio standards and Civil rights anthems were ofttimes heard by the public at Gerde's Folk City for the first time.
A list Folk City's distinctive fraternity of aspiring young artists and legendary recording stars borders on myth.
In the INDIE FILM, Bob Porco (ME), Mike's grandson, undertakes an ardent personal odyssey, seeking out and sitting down with those living treasures that launched a global music paradigm shift from a street corner in Greenwich Village.
It's an inspiring tale of a DEPRESSION-ERA immigrant- and the musicians that he met later in life- who answered their COLLECTIVE CALLING to be a part of the 1960’s Folk and Blues Revival together.
The FOLK MUSIC stars themselves tell the astounding history of Gerde's and Positively Mike Porco.
