In the late 70's the Cornelia Street cafe hosted writer's nights. In the early 80's the musicians cooperative began producting the Fast Folk Musical Magazine, then called the Coop.  The Coop was separate from Speak Easy, but used the location for meetings and production. For more history of this time see the following setlist: http://www.wjffradio.org/FolkPlus/setlists/990814.html

Today's Folk Plus is a nostalgic trip back in time to the voices that were nightly regulars around the MacDougal Street area  of the village. Cafe Figaro was a common after gig spot, ponchitos a popular before the gig meal. There are some I have no recordings for, Carolyn Mas as one of many dozens not here, so I appologize since this is not meant to be a complete list in any way.

Here goes!

Ed McCurdy

I'd like to go back to where I have been
If I could remember the where
But I don't remember a single thing
Just that I have really been there
So I guess I will never go back again ever
Go back to the where that I was
You might think that I feel that merrits a sigh
Your'e right I feel that it does
But I rally do like the where I am now
I do like the now that I'm in
But wherever the this wherever the that
But when the times comes to be
I'll begin
