Nice opening, my friend - but no matter how this is labeled, in my head I'm hearing a track from "Children of Sanchez".

thank you BLT for this touching tribute. sad to hear about David's passing... i have so much to thank him for. also wanted to second Joshua's suggestion of the tremendous "Love Saves The Day" by Tim Lawrence... incredible piece of history in there.

This is the week of illegible playlists, I guess. If I disable CSS, it's perfectly readable, if oddly laid out.

Thanks Steve! Great Read! Have a copy in the studio right now! If I can get it together I'll read a passage

Joshua Fried:

Be it known that the Loft continues, with about 4 parties a year.

Mancuso has not been the musical host for several years, but his personally-picked people have been. However, DM as far as I can tell did oversee the setup up to and including the most recent (October) Loft party.

I think the pieces are in place for the Loft to continue for many years to come.
Avatar 1:19pm
BLT:

Yes Joshua, that's my favorite part about this ideology that David set in place...it can continue and be reproduced foreverrrrrrrr!

Joshua Fried:

Yep. Love Saves the Day.

still at Ukrainian National Home? i haven't been in years...
Avatar 1:28pm
Joshua Fried:

yes. It's great. Douglas Sherman is the most regular musical host, and the perfect disciple of DM. There's always new blood as well as long-time Lofters so the diversity in age just grows wider.
Avatar 1:30pm
Joshua Fried:

That "fresh blood" also applies to the music. Not a museum, etc.

Tim Lawrence's two more recent books are amazing (and very relevant) too - "Life and Death on the NY Dance Floor 1980-1983" and his uber-researched Arthur Russell bio "Hold On To Your Dreams".
