Silent Barn
Pursuant to a Clocktower Radio's field trip the night before to Queens' Silent Barn, Joe Ahearn, one of the venue's organizers, comes in to talk to Will Corwin about what exactly he's doing out there in the edgy edges of Ridgewood, the only New York neighborhood to officially change boroughs, in a late-70s effort to dissociate itself from its unruly, troublesome neighbor, Bushwick. Silent Barn is not just a music venue, it's also a housing complex--a social condenser, if you will. Will and Joe talk about the advantages of having dozens of microphones in your residence and expanding the Barn concept all the way out to Broadway Junction (31 minutes).
