Judy Henske Lives!

For some strange & wonderful reason, my Greenwich Village pal, Judy Henske, rides again; videos of her were impossible to find and now there are a few, at least, to inform the present generations about the talent that became the Psychedelic Sixties. Here she is singing a murder ballad — what else?– for some kids in Hootnanny Hoot. The film was a total bust, but this scene is terrific.

Harry & Me

I wrote a photo book a number of years ago — it didn’t get published and it’s still in my hard-drive, waiting for someone to come along and take responsibility for its production, copyright issue handling, publicity and release.
