Originally, I was only going to NYC because the Cocktail Slippers are playing at the Delancey Lounge on Sept. 24.  However, I just found out that Lenny Kaye will also be on the bill, along with Palmyra Delran.  That was a very pleasant surprise.

 

I'll be honest, I'm not a huge fan of Patti Smith, but Kaye was the man who put together the original "Nuggets" compilation, so it will be cool to see him just for that reason.

 

 

I saw Lenny Kaye, and he did a great show.  I'm going to post a few pictures in my photo section.

 

BTW, I also saw a really good blues band from Brooklyn that night called Daddy Long Legs.  They're a trio, with one guy on vocals and harmonica, another on acoustic guitar, and another on drums.  They're young white guys who make you feel like you're in a juke joint along the Mississippi Delta.  I think they stood at the crossroads one night;)

I'm going to tell him how much I love the Nuggets comp too, except I won't be drunk;)

 

I had heard he was in a garage band, but I never got their name.  Thanks for the heads up, kopper:)

Saw Lenny at the closing of the Continental, and it was a cool experience. I missed out on the Patti Smith gig last nite of CBGB (got in the nite before on Sat. nite with Blondie, Dictators, Waldos), but ran into Lenny on the street after they tore the banner down. I was drunk and kinda blabbered about how cool the Nuggets comp was and took a pic of him and the girl I was hanging out with. You're pretty lucky you get to see him. Thanks Kop hadn't known about his garage band!

He also had a '60s garage band called Link Cromwell & the Zoo. Check out the live album from '66 on Norton Records. "Crazy Like a Fox" is a great tune.
