I spent the summers in the mid-‘90s in the Columbia U. Library microfilm room leafing through years of Village Voices (c 1962-‘78), jotting down club dates to input into my NYC Clubs database. (‘78 on from the purchased newsstand issues.)

The now-defunct paper has been digitizing its archives. Far from complete, but there’s been progress. Here’s a page from the August 24, 1967, issue. Circled is The Blues Project at Cafe Au GoGo. My pal Richard & I bussed from Baltimore to NYC to see them.pic.twitter.com/hr2clwEko5

I didn’t. I _thought_, in retrospect, that The Blues Project’s opening act that night might have been Hendrix, not having been aware of either him or James Cotton at the time, but the club ad set me straight on that 3 decades later.

Apropos of nothing, my pal Tad and I auditioned at the Bitter End, Summer 1972. Tad swears that a fellow audition act that night was Bruce Springsteen.
