The officially unofficial site for details and discussion about the history and legacy of Mike Porco's Center of Folk Music, Gerde's Folk City (&other pertinent stuff)
In my own, sometimes tedious and mostly comical, foray into 'crowd sourcing,' I've attracted funds from supporters. Three folks, who funded the last 'rocket hub' fiscal push, were named Peter Yarrow, Susan and Dave. Three…. (all friends)
It was a no-brainer to return the favor and donate to his daughter and Rufus in their effort. I preach, ''SUPPORT LOCAL ARTISTS'' to others, so I did. I bought a ticket to a house concert and their new CD.
Peter supported me with currency, but he didn't have to. I mean, part of my movie is about his involvement with Folk City. The artists shouldn't pay for a movie about themselves, but he felt differently.
I could never repay Peter Yarrow. He has been donating strong words of encouragement to me in kind letters since I met him and told him of my intentions to craft a story about Mike Porco. It was really self serving karma by giving to Bethany and Rufus. They returned the favor already with a great night of music like you've never heard before.
So it all feels right. Positively Porco doesn't need to have a successful ''crowd source'' résumé. It just takes one. Person. Group.

My building doesn't supply weapons in the hallway,
but Yarrow's neighbors are way cool with it
