Patti Smith

November 1975 was the dawn of the punk era, and we’d heard about this poet/rock and roll performer named Patti Smith, who just put out an album called ‘Horses’, produced by John Cale. 

I didn’t know anything about ‘punk’ (I'm not sure the term existed for this music at this point) I went to see Patti at the Boarding House night club but it sure was a great show! 2 sets in one night and I stayed for them both, which is why she’s wearing a different top on the last, most close-up picture.
