Richard Barone is the author of the terrific book "Music and Revolution-Greenwich Village in the 60's" and he joins Buzz Knight for this episode.Richard is a musician and professor and he is passionate about the village music scene.Show Notes here to learn more.One Man's Mission to Share his Love of the Greenwich Village Music Scene with Richard BaroneWhen we think of the term “musical range,” I think you have to actually think of Greenwich village in the sense that in the 60s, the village was such a hotbed of styles and personalities. The village is accorded the backbone of singers, song writing, and folk singing, because of this incredible range of poets and a live feeling of what was going on. You still feel it today, but it is different from the 60s. So, it’s rather fitting that our guest today, on taking a walk, is not a stranger to the musical range. Richard Barone is an acclaimed recording artist, performer, producer, and author. Since pioneering the indie rock scene in Hoboken, NJ, as frontman of The Bongos and then helping to launch the chamber pop movement with his solo debut “cool blue halo,” Barone has produced countless studio recordings and worked with artists in every musical genre. Richard has spent decades navigating the musical neurons of the village with his great new book, Music and Revolution. This book is about Greenwich Village in the 60s. By the end, Richard will transport you in time. You will feel as if you are going through a meditation, you are part of. Get the experience of this amazing village with Richard Barone. Tune in! Key Highlights from the Episode[00:01] Meet Richard Barone from Greenwich Village[01:45] Richard’s inspiration for authoring his book, Music+Revolution[03:21] Save the village movement[04:47] How a Sunday afternoon in a restaurant felt like in the 1960s at the village[06:43] Big poets at Greenwich Village in the 50s[11:00] A lunch Richard had with Barry Kornfeld[12:30] Several musical figures that you should know, as Barone mentions in his book[12:50] Richard Farina[19:51] Janis Ian[23:31] José Monserrate Feliciano [25:10] Fred Neil[28:09] Philip David Ochs[32:44] Comparing the music of the 1960s to that of 2020[35:34] Ending the show and call to actionNotable QuotesCompared to the 1960s, many songs do not address anything. Older songs were guided by a message or theme.Many people sing songs in 2022 but it does not bring togetherness of people to enjoy and feel it. In the 60s, concerts were packed with people of all races and ages.Get Richard’s BookMusic + Revolution: Greenwich Village in the 1960s: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B4FDSY5B/Connect With Richard BaroneWebsite: http://www.richardbarone.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/richardbarone/Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/RichardBaroneFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/RichardBaroneOfficialEmail:[email protected]: https://www.youtube.com/richardbarone Learn more about your ad choices.

Writers and poets, artists and radicals, runaway socialites, and others seeking freedom from conventional lifestyles have long flocked to this spot, lit most famously by the counterculture figures of the 1950s and '60s: Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, James Baldwin, Bob Dylan, and others. Take this walking tour with me, Buzz, and Danny Fields to better orient yourself in the Village and to hear more about his music career.

In addition to having his projects speak to the power and magic of songs that have transcended decades for their musical inspiration and influence, they must show diversity in race and age, gender, sexual orientation, and economic background, amongst other factors, when speaking of the music’s reach.
