Lefty McRighty: "Bible Wood"

Lefty McRighty and Patsy Clash at Irene's Pub

All bands on stage....

Lefty McRighty, with Ray Harris, at the Black Sheep Inn, Wakefield, Feb. 4, 2007. "The Wreck of Old 97". There's lots of debate about who wrote this song. However, what is considered the first ever copyright infringement case in American history was decided in favour of David G. George, the telegraph operator at the scene of the accident was the writer. He never saw a penny from RCA Victor which simply refused to pay. <p><a href="http://www.leftymcrighty.com/">Lefty McRighty</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.sunbleachedskulls.com">Sun Bleached Skulls</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.blueridgeinstitute.org/ballads/old97.html">A history of Old 97</a></p>

Lefty McRighty. I'm not sure what the song is. The sound is really bad (the sound guy at Irene's aleways cranks it up far too high).

Lefty McRighty: "Big Nipples"

Waiting for Lefty is a 1935 play by American playwright, Clifford Odets. Consisting of a series of related vignettes, the entire play is framed by the meeting of cab drivers who are planning a labor strike. The framing situation effectively utilizes the audience as part of the meeting. While this was not the first play written by Odets, this was the first of his plays to be produced. It was staged by the Group Theatre, a theatre company founded by Harold Clurman, Cheryl Crawford and Lee Strasberg, of which Odets was a member. The company was founded both as a training ground for actors, but also to support new plays, especially those that provided social and political commentary. Waiting for Lefty was the first real critical and popular success for the Group Theatre and the play appeared on Broadway as well as in cities around the United States.
