The Freeze-Dried Coffeehouse

This was the coffeehouse I ran at SUNY Albany from 1974-1978. It was started by a group of us, but they all dropped out after the first year. After I left Albany, it was taken over by others, but I’m not sure how much longer it existed. But, the important thing is that I taped a lot of these live performances, and after about 40 years, finally got around to digitizing them. It seemed a good idea to share them with the world, as long I had the singers’ permissions. So, below are all the performances I collected over 40 years ago. Enjoy, and feel free to contact the performers to let them know you enjoyed it.
