HOWARD FISHMAN'S "BASEMENT TAPES" PROJECT
December 15, 2008
7 pm
Housing Works Bookstore Cafe
126 Crosby Street, NYC
Hailed by none other than Greil Marcus himself ("Remarkable...I'm stunned"), Howard Fishman's "Basement Tapes" Project had its inception as a three-night marathon at Joe's Pub, where he and his band performed the group of over sixty songs comprising Bob Dylan & The Band's complete "Basement Tapes" (including rarely heard gems like "I'm Not There (1956), "All You Have To Do Is Dream" and "Sign on the Cross"). The project has since played Lincoln Center and Chicago's Steppenwolf Theater, and excerpts have been released as a live CD/DVD from Monkey Farm Records.
This special one-night only performance will also include select authors and special guests (to be announced) reading from material about the original Basement Tapes.
All proceeds from this show support Housing Works' mission to end homelessness and AIDS.

hmmmmmm, sounds like fun
and i have been coming into manhatten often as of late, just yesturday i was riding the A train once more 2 the lower east side and two mexicans jumped on ffrom west 4th st 2 broadway and banged on a tune on the guitar and tri colored accordian. i had my arm wrapped around the standing pole and these guys didnt flinch as the subway bounced and turned its way into the station. i had no idea what they were singing, but he belted out the sweetest love song i might of ever heard if it werent 4 bob dylan. the car was filled with love and after that song everyone could feel it.
but they cut back on everyones shifts and of course monday nights is one of mine. sounds like a place i have been 2 all my life but one i would like 2 visit another time. i know i will be coming into manahtten b4 jan 5th. vincent van gogh is in town.....and speaking of fine art, when is the drawn blank series making an appearance here in the usa?
