The Birth of Hoboken Pop, Explained

My old friend Glenn Morrow from Bar None Records will be speaking today at 4pm at the Hoboken Historical Museum on the birth of the Hoboken pop scene back in the early 80's.


The Hoboken Historical Museum is at 1301 Hudson St. Hoboken.

I'm going to bring a few ancient Jersey Beats and other things I wrote back in the very early 80's for show 'n' tell.
