Hey Listeners,
I recently ordered a CBGG box set from Cherry Red Records called CBGB & OMFUG: A New York City Soundtrack 1975-1986. It’s terrific and while I was listening, I pulled out a few other NYC compilations and listened to them as well. One is a Numero compilation Ork Records (060). Another is Watch the Closing Doors: A History of New York’s Musical Melting Pot Vol. 1 1945-1959. The set was compiled by music journalist, Kris Needs, and it is incredible. There were supposed to be 6 releases, but I think only Vol. 1 ever came out and that was @ 2012. The final release I pulled and started spinning was a Fania Records compilation – The Latin Sounds of New York: 1964-1978. Listening to all of those releases I was determined to do another NYC music show on the MIGFS Show. The final inspiration came during a recent visit to see the kids in Brooklyn. It was brutally cold, so Helen and I decided to visit some museums we had never been to while the kids were at work on Friday. We took a trip to the Upper East Side and went to the Museum of the City of New York. Lo and behold one of the temporary exhibits was Songs of New York: 100 Years of Imagining the City Through Music. The exhibit was fun and had lots of interactive features including a massive playlist they had put together. So that was that – and and here we are. I can only play so much music, but the songs that made the cut are awesome.
