Re: NYC Street Sounds

[Robert Cohen <rlcm17...>]

(The legendary) Tony Schwartz, originally an advertising man (I believe he 
conceived the daisy ad for LBJ vs. Goldwater) who conceived and produced a 
number of documentary words and/or music records for Folkways, issued at 
least one (I think called NEW YORK 19--that referred to the pre-zip postal 
code, as in "New York 19, New York") and maybe other records for Folkways of 
NYC street sounds, along with street music and maybe some spoken word.
