Roadie with The Rayes
Back in the New York Groove!
It was hard to decide who or what to highlight for the iconic New York City -- but Jordan's lightning bolt tattoo and love for '70s artist culture steered us toward the eclectic and ever-changing Patti Smith. We are nearing the end of our cross country adventure and see the towering buildings of the big city, with all of its pizza and bagel glory! We discuss our road trip griminess that seems to reflect the grunge which was Patti's world, as she journeyed down her music path alongside other huge music acts from the '70s NYC scene.
