I was the superintendent for these Ludlow Street apartments for about 2 years in the 80’s, down the block from Katz’s Deli, between Houston & Stanton. Bottom pic was my apartment, looked nothing like that back then. Some of our tenants Included Taylor Meade, Bad Brains and many other musicians and artists who were starting out. I also physically moved pianos for the landlord right across the street at, you guessed it, PIANOS, which became a music venue later on. In some ways one of the darkest chapters in my life and in others the most creative and exceptional times I’ve ever known. NYC has a way of doing that. And now I act like a tourist in my own city. Actually it’s hard to relate any longer, but I travel far and wide for my inspiration. So I went to Orchard street and purchased an expensive hat to help me out. 🎩 🎩 🎙 🎤 🎩 🎩 #joeykellyallstars #officialjoeykelly #buddylovepowerpop #muddclub (at Lower East Side Manhattan) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ca5E4MhuUUr/?utm_medium=tumblr
