Mark Nello, leader of the Barn Band, led a lively discussion of the History of Rock and Roll. As he mentioned a particular artist, he played a lick on his electric guitar, evoking the unique characteristic of that sound. Mark’s presentation spanned from the 50’s through present day. But there were so mavy questions, anecdotes and interruptions from the group, he never made it past 1969. Of particular interest was the meaning of the words to the song American Pie. Quite a lively debate ensued, including an assertion that the lyrics include a reference to a bar in New Rochelle called The Levy. Needless to say the evening ended with an enthusiastic performance by The Barn Band. We were shut down by the police at about 1am.

Barn Night Details
Barn Nights take place monthly, always on a Friday. The barn is located behind the house at 41 Deerfield. The doors open at 8pm, so feel free to come by, grab a beer and a slice of pizza, and socialize. The presentations start at 9pm and go for about an hour. Afterwards you can hang out and jam with or listen to the Barn Band. For the die hards there’s usually a “wrap up” at around midnight where we share our thoughts on the presentation and get into deep, controversial discussions. There’s a contribution box for you to drop in a minimum of $20 to help offset the cost of the event.
