Joey was a brilliant businessman,<br /> finger on the pulse of public trend. Mom called the ‘store’ a nic nak shop.<br /> Certainly less prestigious than a springboard of a musical talent/greats as<br />as sixties culture evolved, It continued to reflect social ‘happenings’ albeit some <br />of which some may want to deny or forget if they hadn’t fried their brains or O/D.<br /><br />I didnt understand why locals strongly oposed the opening of MacDonalds down<br /> 3rd street at 6th ( Ave of the Americans). How the train station across 3rd street<br />brought more B-Ball players (than NYU students & local kids ) to use our <br />blacktop/park btwn 3rd& 4th on 6th Ave. And Washington square park offered<br />a cornacopia of illicit drugs to anyone who kept their ears open to hear pitched<br />product’s nickname softly offered like beer or peanuts at sporting events.<br /><br />By the 70’s the ‘artists’ migrated down to what I heard adults refer to<br />As the Soho area. The ‘other end’ and ‘bitter end’ was able to <br />Operate as small venue musical cafes a little longer. Eventually,<br />The CBGBs with its ‘head banging’ musical trend was the fad leading<br />the way Into a different genre.<br /><br /><br /><br /> <br /><br />nightlife changed from lines <br />forming outside Wavely Theatre by people who today would be coined as LARPr<br />(Live action role play) to get the next showing of Rocky Horrow Picture Show.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08777596765986001949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12527609.post-43688266157176634662018-07-29T15:40:45.073-05:002018-07-29T15:40:45.073-05:00I am happy to find pages on the Night Owl.

A group called the Novae Police did their sound check and I got to listen for the price of a glass of non-alcoholic cider. I thought I was a real groupie. I met Joe Butler of the Spoonful and Mike Esposito of the Blues Magoos (I wanted him and gave him my phone number but I was only 16 and I guess he knew it). I took a picture of the marquee once and the band advertised was The Flying Machine-James Taylor's group. I was sad when the place closed. Later on my weekend hangout became Central Park's Bethesda Fountain where I met the authors of Hair and played my guitar.<br />Lynne Bronsteinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12527609.post-81413945054597533332017-10-29T13:19:25.940-05:002017-10-29T13:19:25.940-05:00Anyone around who still remembers Jimmy the Cop? ...Anyone around who still remembers Jimmy the Cop?

As a teen, I spent many nights at the Night Owl listening to the Bloos, Tim Buckley, The Magicians, etc. etc. I searched all over the interwebs for information on the club and this is blog is the most comprehensive I could find. I've created a Night Owl Tribute Page on facebook because it's shocking so little has been written about this legendary place. I've posted photos and used some of yours from the blog. I hope you are okay with that. Thank you so much for creating this page!
