Are we really halfway through July??

I could use some tunes to smooth out the bumps on this road I’m on.

How about YOU?

On July 18^th, 1973 Bruce Springsteen played the first of four nights at Max’s Kansas City in New York City.

His opening act was smuggled into the country through  Canada. Wait until you hear who opened for Bruce.  It was their first gig ever in the USA. We’ll play some original audio from the night and then two songs you know them for.

While we’re thumbing through  the music calendar

July 18, 1980 – at Cinema 1 in NYC – the first screening of No Nukes took place. We’re going to play the encore with the artists who made it all happen Bruce Springsteen and Jackson Browne.
