🎡 RIP Freddy Cannon 🎡

I played his 1962 single Palisades Park over and over as a child ...

🎵 You'll never know how great a kiss can feel
When you stop at the top of a ferris wheel 🎵

Born in Revere, Mass in 1936, he was 89 when he passed

The Gaslight Cafe

The Greenwich Village coffeehouse opened in 1958. Originally it was a "basket house" where unpaid performers would pass around a basket at the end of each set in order to be paid. The cafe became a gathering place for beatniks, artists, poets, and folk singers with a large variety of performances.
