   I was at Glen Cove library last night and really enjoyed the memories. Sorry, had to leave early, but I do have a MFP story.

   I grew up with Charley (Charles) Koppelman in Laurelton Queens, was there when the Ivy Three was formed, double dated with Charles and Bunny and know the family well. I was a jazz drummer for many years and the drums were always set up in the house. My son took an interest at age 8 and later on formed a band with Peter Zizzo who was friends with of all people Brian Koppelman. Brian leter booked the band. WHITE HEAT, into My Father’s Place in the early 1980′s and that part of the history of MFP is so important. Eppy provided a venue for local teen bands to display their talents and live their dreams when no one else would. Who knows how many kid bands played their first “concert” at MFP? I was one of those dads who shlepped the drums from performance to performance.

   Fast forward 30+ years and we find Brian a successful movie screen writer, Peter
   a talanted song writer and producer and my son Michael in business as a print broker. However, two weeks ago he appeared at a re-union performacne with a band he later formed called TAKASHI at the Crazy Donkey and Dee Schneider showed up and sang two sings.

   Thank you Eppy for providing Long Islanders with our own rock mecca to see the future greats when prices were affordable, and for your new efforts to grow the MFP brand. Good Luck!!
