That's where he and his buddies would pick up girls. He also has stories about Joseph Kennedy hiring kids off of Macdougal Street to run bootleg booze, and Philly was also best friends with Jilly Rizzo, Sinatra's best friend who went up in a fire inside a Jaquar when the doors wouldn't open.

I first played there on December 31st, 1973. It lasted another 15 years or so. Delbert McClinton, Charley Pride, Billy Joe Shaver, Jo-El Sonnier, Gary Stewart, et al, gigged or sat in there. It preceded the more well-known Lone Star Cafe on Fifth Avenue & 13th Street (where I also played).

I want to say it was Cafe Au Go Go, but that was on Bleecker, but it had a 60s club name like Cafe Au Go Go. So I'm not so sure the space made the transition from the Village Barn straight to Electric Lady.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-15784720512471712572013-04-02T11:18:07.187-04:002013-04-02T11:18:07.187-04:00I recall that on the 1st floor was Malboro Books, ...I recall that on the 1st floor was Malboro Books, a store filled with books on sale, at the time mostly a buck but at the time it was a big amount.
