You can see Dan Sickles's busted leg bone at the National Museum of Health and Medicine (formerly Army Medical Museum)--it's on display there today, yes.

Leg bone and offending cannonball. (Not horrible to look at, but a bit jarring.)

The original Tammany Hall was where the Con Ed Building is on 14th street. Also where Tony Pastor's original Vaudeville was.

Ok Irwin. You're gonna take terry gross job. She can't go on forever.
  4:44pm
Listener Robert:

I tuned in just before the interview started. Weird: The book's new, right? Why do I have such a feeling a deja vu about this interview. I've heard Irwin interviewing Strausbaugh before, but this one's got to be new, right?
  4:46pm
Listener Robert:

Maybe it's just familiarity w the subject matter, and over a matter of years some material's bound to come up repeatedly. Or just the sound of their voices together.
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 4:46pm
Webhamster Henry:

If you go to the Fire Museum on Spring street, you can read about this kind of fire company rivalry. But I think, eventually, you'd choose your company and put a plaque on your house showing which fire company was paid to protect your house. Kind of like having private health insurance before Single Payer which we enjoy today. Not.
  4:47pm
Laura L:

@ Robert--yes, this is a brand new book; you might be thinking of his earlier book "The Village"?
  4:47pm
ScottC:

Blockade of southern harbors and British neutrality...
  4:49pm
Listener Robert:

Laura, I might be thinking more than one book back. Maybe I'm just conflating my knowledge of the subject, Mssrs. Strausbaugh's & Chusid's voices, and my reading of Strausbaugh in the NY Press decades ago.

The Draft Riots at least had some kind of political motivation, but the Astor Place Riot ... was about which actor was better at Shakespeare.(1849). 25 dead, 120 injured.

okay then. electricity's back. caught the tail of that good rats song and it sounded really good, rats. i recorded a concert of theirs broadcast on wnew in the late 80s, even though i wasn't that into them. i still have the 8-track tape...but "phil fleisch" is much better than that was.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 5:50pm
Irwin:

coel: there's a live Rats show online somewhere, found it a few weeks ago, been meaning to listen. On a quick review, it sounded well-recorded and dates from their prime.
