Havent been in this bar before though i know a lot of exeweb drink here. The left bank sturtzy? Do i remember it?? I think there was a period of 4 maybe 5 years when i basically lived there. I used to work on the basis that if i bought a single i was ok for 2 maybe 3 weeks of freebe listening and if i bought an album then that gave me a few months. I think i must have gone through every album in the shop, other than italian opera, every year.Anybody remember the left Bank record shop in Paris Street? Was the centre of existence for me for a time in the late sixties.
The actual Left Bank (or Rive Gauche,) was actually a home for creative thought with little regard for political persuasion, in fact many conservatively minded thinkers and writers lived and worked there.
