Loving these New York Town songs.

Greetings John and listeners and Happy New Years.i remember a young John Weingart doing a show saluting Abe Beames inaugural.

When David Amram was born the NYC mayor was …Jimmy Walker.

Making me homesick – but worth it! Great show! Richie from Brooklyn (P.S. Do you happen to have Liz Callaway singing early Sondheim: "What More Do I Need?")

I saw Jim Kweskin summer 24 in Washington Square park during the Eric Adam’s regime. His previous appearance at that site was under Robert Wagner JR

Any Mike Agranoff fans he will be appearing at Lansdowne Pa Folk Club in March.

Amazingly the most famous NYC song Sinatra s New York New York is perhaps the worst.

Thanks John great program tonight. Perhaps my favorite NYC mayor was the fictional NYC mayor in The Great McGinty

Loved the New York theme tonight!

Stream seems to have cut off.

The Beppe Gambetta piece was so good. THX
