In my research at YIVO I've been getting into the RG 123 collection which is just hundreds of folders from random old NY Jewish mutual aid societies. Was interested to see a woman drummer & bandleader which are both quite rare among all the old docs I've been looking at. Shirley Baron of Queens/ the Bronx.

40 years ago this week, "Forever Man" by #EricClapton entered the #Top40 at 40. It peaked at 26 on 27 Apr 1985. The camera that falls over at 2:45 in the video was not intentional, but they left it in. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0gDvR1sZ6I4 #1980s #MusicHistory #MusicVideo

heading back for another research appointment at the Tamiment Library and Robert F. Wagner Labor Archives today, looking at old musician's union (local 802) papers from 1922 onwards. (I was there 2 weeks ago but didn't remotely finish looking at stuff.) great at connecting dots in other parts of my research even though the detailed record only starts around 3 decades into the period of organized Jewish musician labor in New York..
