When MK lived in NYC

[Hoops McCann]

Dan, is there anyway to find out where MK lived in NY before he purchased that house? Just in case that wasnt his first house in the city.

I searched around but couldn't find anything else. If he rented before that,  there won't be any record of it. I think it's more likely that he took extended holidays to NY and didn't actually live there until he bought 36 Bank St.

Maybe we can ask Jack Sonni about it, as it's likely that MK at least spent periods of time in NYC before he got married, as I've read that Rudy Pensa and Jack Sonni were MK friends already in 1980.

Or maybe we just say thank you to Dan and leave it where it is.

LE it's just plain curiosity about facts in MK biography.

Cool stuff Dan. If only we had known we could have gone on a pilgrimage last May!

"your latest trick" idea comes from MK coming back home from the Power Station Studios in NYC, and I wonder which other songs from that time are influenced from MK living there.

Yesterday I was listening to "The way it always starts" and thought that I might take a look at the lyrics because it can be related to NY too, maybe not, but the reference to the Taxi horns might be related

Definitely. I never thought to look this up before. I even ate a place a few years back literally a block from Bank St and explored that neighborhood afterwards without knowing.  It's a great neighborhood, but a bit pretentious as you might imagine. I remember watching someone get out of the back of a limo...to go into Starbucks.

I could write an extra chapter for a future second edition of my book about this route in NYC so it can be visited next autumn when MK plays in NYC. Obviously for this tour I will release a free PDF with it so it can be enjoyed ASAP!

The thing is that I would need pictures of the area to be used in the chapter, if any of you live in the area and can help, please send me a private message.

Do any of you have pictures of the outside/inside of the Rudy Music Stop in his original location?

Also... any of what used to be Power Station Studios, nowadays Avatar Studios?

Please contact me in private.
