THERE'S ONLY ONE IZZY YOUNG, THANK GOODNESS

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the man who brought music to GERDE'S FOLK CITY

There's a man named Israel G
He descended upon the Village from the Bronx
His store fit inside a glove

He bequeathed his opinions
and told endless tales
He resides in a century beyond us
and all the decades past

Like Santa or Johnny Appleseed
He relayed music as his gift to millions
Born to be remembered

Here are some pictures I look at often… Part of the Gerde's Folkumentary® called……..

















POSITIVELY PORCO TRAILER

Dear Ol' Stockholm

  1. Izzy was the man we got our strings, finger picks and things so we could play gigs in the village like Gerde’s, The Gaslight, the Third Side and more. I still have the long neck Ode 5 string I bought from Izzy in 63. Happy Birthday Izzy!
