Johnny Winter Blues Band/Danny Shea Band My Father’s Place Wednesday, August 26, 1981

One night after seeing The Specials at The Ritz, it was back to the blues with Johnny Winter and the Danny Shea Band at Roslyn’s My Father’s Place. While The Ritz was a New York City club that was primarily a general admission venue with some seating up top, My Father’s Place was all about the table seating and the Long Island neighborhood vibe. I had the good fortune to see performances by Gregg Allman during the Allman Brothers Band hiatus, Joe Perry Project during the Aerosmith hiatus, Iggy Pop and other notable acts at My Father’s Place while it was in business. It was an interesting time for rock and roll as there was pretty much something for everyone and a venue suitable for just about every musical taste. I have not yet gone to the “new” My Father’s Place in Roslyn but hope to check it out once live music returns post-pandemic hopefully sometime soon.
