So I played the acoustic guitar and harmonica and stomped my foot and I think I was right in assuming that Greenwich Village would be the best place to perform my own material and possibly get some attention, move on to making records and all. ↗
The buying of time or space is not the taking out of a hunting license on someone else's private preserve but is the renting of a stage on which we may perform. ↗
