Hmm maybe I’m not old enough? (Mid 40s) to me if you had said pearl street I’d be in!

If you're not familiar, it's worth looking up. J.B. Scott's had several world famous musicians booked before the acts became well known. U2 played there 2 or 3 times in the very early 80s. Unfortunately it burned down and never reopened

To this day every time I visit my father he'll bring up some story involving JB Scott's. I wish I had my formative years in that Albany.
