In this episode, we dive into the vibrant legacy of 1960s Greenwich Village with Richard Barone—acclaimed musician, producer, author, and frontman of the power-pop trailblazers The Bongos. Richard joins us to discuss his fascinating new book, “Music + Revolution: Greenwich Village in the 1960s,” a vivid exploration of one of America’s most influential cultural hotspots and the artists who helped reshape music, politics, and social consciousness.
We’ll explore the making of the book, the revolutionary energy of the Village, and its lasting impact on today’s cultural landscape. Plus, we’ll shine a spotlight on several Long Island Music and Entertainment Hall of Fame inductees featured in the book, including Melanie, Simon & Garfunkel, Oscar Brand, and The Lovin’ Spoonful.
Tune in for a rich conversation that blends history, music, and storytelling with one of the era’s most passionate scholars and performers.
