This is one of those things.<\/p>\n<p>In 1989, I met Buzzy Linhart at a NORML rally in Washington Square Park. He was charming and funny and ridiculously talented. Unfortunately, he was only going to be in NYC for a short while. I was grateful to have had the opportunity to see him at various clubs around the city over the next few months.<\/p>\n<p>Fast forward 10 years, Dave and I are married and living in Jersey. One day while perusing The Village Voice I spied an ad for a Buzzy Linhart gig at the Triad Lounge on 72nd Street.<\/p>\n<p>Dave had never seen Buzzy, but he had come to really enjoy the Buzzy albums I&#8217;d been able to pick up here and there from various used record stores (Ebay wasn&#8217;t quite a thing yet). Long story short, we went to the gig.<\/p>\n<p>The ten years that had passed had seemed to be unkind to Buzzy, physically. He needed help on and off the stage, sat on a stool for a few of the songs, stuff like that. His spirit, his charm, his talent \u2014 they were all still pinning their respective meters though.<\/p>\n<p>About halfway through the show I looked at Dave and said &#8220;Buzzy really needs his own documentary.&#8221; Dave agreed and after the gig was over I approached Buzzy about making a doc, and he was all in.<\/p>\n<p>What an adventure that was!<\/p>\n<p>A long, strange trip indeed.<\/p>\n<p>Anywhooooo, below is the end result of my Buzzy Linhart adventure. If you take the time to watch it, thank you! It&#8217;s much appreciated. It&#8217;s at nearly 10k views on Youtube, which I think is really great. If you ever get a chance to read the comments section there you&#8217;ll find that there are quite a few people checking in there who have had their own Buzzy Linhart adventures.<\/p>\n<p>Ok, ok, enough of this palaver, on with the show!<\/p>\n<p>XOXO<\/p>\n<p>Shecky<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>From the Youtube description:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Famous: The Buzzy Linhart Story is a celebration of the life and times of Buzzy Linhart, a fixture of the 60s and 70s NYC Greenwich Village Scene, his obvious love of making music and the energy with which he attacks a song are traits that are rarely seen in the industry today. His songs blur the lines between genres, blending jazz, rock, folk, blues and even raga so seamlessly that it&#8217;s easy to understand why no other artist has ever attempted to follow in his footsteps.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>This documentary explores Buzzy&#8217;s life through his own words and those of his peers, weaving his stories and his music together in what can best be described as a musical diary.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>For more information about Buzzy please visit: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.BuzzyLinhart.com\">www.BuzzyLinhart.com<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Hiyo!
