Bidding ended on 4/5/2014 Bob Dylan hand wrote and signed this note to Eve McKenzie in pencil. When Dylan first came to New York City and was performing at various downtown clubs he lived with the McKenzie family. This is a wonderfully intimate artifact from Bob's early days in the Village. Measures 8.5 x 6. Very good condition. Comes with a letter of provenance from Eve's son Peter McKenzie and a Gotta Have Rock and Roll Certificate of Authenticity. Greene St. began in the early 1970s as the 112 Greene St. Recording Studio. It was originally a private recording studio for the original two owners, Jeffrey Lew and Michael Reisman and their friends. It was not a commercial venture. In the summer of 1975 the owners realized that the cost of running the studio for themselves and their friends was not cost sustainable. Jeffrey Lew turned to his and Phillip Glass’s friend, Peter McKenzie, whose family Bob Dylan had lived with in 1961 when Mr. McKenzie was 15, to manage the recording studio and bring in outside commercial business so the studio could financially support itself. This Mr. McKenzie did using his social skills and connections to bring in outside recording artists such as Asford and Simpson and the studio began to generate a nice profit allowing it to remain viable. Later in 1975 Jeffrey Lew wanted to divest his share and go on to other ventures. His share was sold to two clients Mr. MCKenzie had brought in, Billy Arnell and Steve Loeb. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greene_St._Recording Daydream Nation is the fifth studio album by American alternative rock band Sonic Youth, released on October 18, 1988.[1] The band recorded the album between July and August 1988 at Greene St. Recording in New York City, and it was released by Enigma Records as a double album. After Daydream Nation was released, it received widespread acclaim from critics and earned Sonic Youth a major label deal. The album was ranked high in critics' year-end lists of 1988's best records, being voted second in The Village Voice's annual Pazz & Jop poll. Daydream Nation has since been widely considered to be Sonic Youth's greatest work, as well as one of the greatest albums of all time,[2][3] specifically having a profound influence on the alternative and indie rock genres. It was chosen by the Library of Congress to be preserved in the National Recording Registry in 2005.
