Hey Frank, is the picture new? You're a good looking guy! Its nice to be able to put a face to this blog!
A sad, but joyous note. This Friday a group of family & friends of Ronnie Ardito will be meeting at the Rainbow Bar & Grill to wake/memorialize Ronnie who died recently.
Ronnie was a leader of the Street People Coalition - a Sunset Park teen group that was probably the most powerful group of its kind in the very active 1970's.
Ronnie & Street People staged the first Earth Day celebration in Sunset Park, sponsored live weekly concerts in the park, battled against lead-poisoning and shut down the intersection of 5th Ave & 39th Street when Nixon bombed Cambodia (and tried to conceal the action taken without congressional approval).
Ronnie grew up on 40th & 6th. He cut an album with "The Shirts" - lead singer Annie Golden went on to a big role in "Hair". Ronnie worked at the famous CBGB's.
Those of us who knew & loved him will never forget him strumming his guitar in the park as the sunset in the bay.
