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……..

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!
