Show Notes here to learn more.
One Man's Mission to Share his Love of the Greenwich Village Music Scene with Richard BaroneWhen we think of the term “musical range,” I think you have to actually think of Greenwich village in the sense that in the 60s, the village was such a hotbed of styles and personalities. The village is accorded the backbone of singers, song writing, and folk singing, because of this incredible range of poets and a live feeling of what was going on. You still feel it today, but it is different from the 60s. So, it’s rather fitting that our guest today, on taking a walk, is not a stranger to the musical range.
Richard Barone is an acclaimed recording artist, performer, producer, and author. Since pioneering the indie rock scene in Hoboken, NJ, as frontman of The Bongos and then helping to launch the chamber pop movement with his solo debut “cool blue halo,” Barone has produced countless studio recordings and worked with artists in every musical genre. Richard has spent decades navigating the musical neurons of the village with his great new book, Music and Revolution. This book is about Greenwich Village in the 60s. By the end, Richard will transport you in time. You will feel as if you are going through a meditation, you are part of. Get the experience of this amazing village with Richard Barone.
Tune in!
Key Highlights from the Episode
[00:01] Meet Richard Barone from Greenwich Village
[01:45] Richard’s inspiration for authoring his book, Music+Revolution
[03:21] Save the village movement
[04:47] How a Sunday afternoon in a restaurant felt like in the 1960s at the village
[06:43] Big poets at Greenwich Village in the 50s
[11:00] A lunch Richard had with Barry Kornfeld
[12:30] Several musical figures that you should know, as Barone mentions in his book
[12:50] Richard Farina
[19:51] Janis Ian
[23:31] José Monserrate Feliciano
[25:10] Fred Neil
[28:09] Philip David Ochs
[32:44] Comparing the music of the 1960s to that of 2020
[35:34] Ending the show and call to action
Notable Quotes* Compared to the 1960s, many songs do not address anything. Older songs were guided by a message or theme. * Many people sing songs in 20222, but it does not bring togetherness of people to enjoy and feel it. In the 60s, concerts were packed with people of all races and ages.

Danny Fields: A Man who Changed the Face of Rock N Roll from Greenwich Village New York City is a city of neighborhoods, and Greenwich Village is no exception. Its cobblestone streets, historic brownstones, and lively restaurants make it one of the most frequented neighborhoods. It's also a place for people to live and work who want to stay in the heart of Manhattan without having to face the costly living costs. One unique thing about this neighborhood is that it's very diverse regarding race, culture, and geography.
Greenwich Village is a lively, urban neighborhood with many cafes, bars and restaurants, jazz clubs, Broadway productions, and historical brownstones. It can be a great place to explore as a tourist. Writers and poets, artists and radicals, runaway socialites, and others seeking freedom from conventional lifestyles have long flocked to this spot, lit most famously by the counterculture figures of the 1950s and '60s: Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, James Baldwin, Bob Dylan, and others. Take this walking tour with me, Buzz, and Danny Fields to better orient yourself in the Village and to hear more about his music career.

Spencer Proffer|| How A Man's Passion for Music and Storytelling Fueled an Iconic Career Join Host Buzz Knight and Spencer Proffer on this bonus edition of Takin A Walk. Spencer is a legendary media executive who produces documentaries such as "Chasing Trane" on Hulu and “The Day the Music Died” on Paramount. He is the CEO of Meteor17 with a passion for producing premium streaming content utilizing music as an organic component to entertain and have a positive, lasting impact across the globe.
Spencer is a highly regarded media producer and strategist with a long history of connecting with audiences. His productions, and many he has been integrally involved with, have garnered Academy, Golden Globe, Emmy, Grammy, and Tony awards and nominations. As a music producer and arranger, his work has sold millions of gold and platinum records. He has a career-long commitment to civil and human rights issues, amongst other civic and charitable causes to which he gives time and resources. In 2022-2023, Spencer will be producing multiple enterprises with meaningful social responsibility, diversity, and civil rights focus. Spencer believes having multiple voices and current re-imaginations of iconic songs is important as part of his feature documentary films.
In addition to having his projects speak to the power and magic of songs that have transcended decades for their musical inspiration and influence, they must show diversity in race and age, gender, sexual orientation, and economic background, amongst other factors, when speaking of the music’s reach.

Join Host Buzz Knight (@TheBuzzKnight) and Best Selling Author William Martin as they walk and talk at The North Bridge in Concord Massachusetts.
William is the "King of the historical thriller" including his latest "December 41."
Check out show notes here.
William Martin: An American Author and His Love of History Reading is the foundation of a good writer and one of the most important skills to possess. It allows one to develop an arsenal of ideas and find unique ways to write about a topic. It also makes one a better writer by providing inspiration and developing writing skills. Join this conversation and meet William Martin, a “storyteller whose smoothness matches his ambition.” (Publisher's Weekly)
In his boyhood, William Martin loved what he later called "big stories on broad canvases." He read the historical novels of C.S. Forester and Esther Forbes. He sat transfixed by the big movies of the early sixties. So, after college, he went to Hollywood to try his hand at screenwriting but discovered that his instincts were better suited to novels. His first, "Back Bay," introduced treasure hunter Peter Fallon to a new kind of adventure that joined the contemporary mystery-thriller to the historical novel. In his twelve novels (including six bestselling Peter Fallon adventures), Martin has tracked national treasures across the landscape of the American imagination, chronicled the lives of the great and the anonymous in American history, and brought to life legendary American locations, from Cape Cod to Washington DC in "The Lincoln Letter." And after the publication of his Gold Rush epic, "Bound for Gold," the Providence Journal called him "the king of the historical thriller." "December '41," published in the summer of '22, provides readers with another propulsive journey through American history.
He has also written an award-winning PBS documentary on the life of Washington, a cult-classic horror movie, has contributed book reviews to the Boston Globe and The New England Quarterly, and has taught writing across the country, from the Harvard Extension School to the legendary Maui Writers Conference. He lives near Boston with his wife and has three grown children. He received the 2005 New England Book Award, "an author whose work stands as a significant contribution to the region's culture." He has also won the Samuel Eliot Morison Award and the Robert B. Parker Award.

Show Notes
Be Bold, Open, Transparent, and Authentic for Change as a Leader with Charlene Li Leaders need to be fearless and take risks to create change. Sometimes it's not a matter of being lucky but rather being bold enough to initiate the change in the first place. If a leader is too scared or cautious about taking risks, they will never be able to implement the needed changes their organization needs. Join another conversation of “Takin’ a Walk Podcast.” This show is about the love of conversations with extraordinary people, people who have extraordinary stories. Leadership is one of the topics I always talk about with the guests when taking a walk. Today’s guest, Charlene Li, is an expert in that area.
Charlene Li has been helping people see the future for the past two decades. She’s the New York Times bestselling author of six books, including her newest release, The Disruption Mindset: Why Some Businesses Transform While Others Fail, and Open Leadership, as well as co-author of the critically-acclaimed book, Groundswell. Charlene is an entrepreneur who founded and ran Altimeter Group, a disruptive industry analyst firm that Prophet acquired in 2015. With over 20 years of experience in tech and business, she has been a respected advisor to Fortune 500 companies on digital transformation and leadership. Charlene also serves on the regional board for YPO, a global network of CEOs.
Charlene is a sought-after public speaker and has appeared at events ranging from TED and the World Business Forum to SXSW. She has appeared on 60 Minutes and PBS NewsHour and is frequently quoted by The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, USA Today, and The Associated Press. She was named one of the Top 50 Leadership Innovators by Inc. and one of the most creative people in business by Fast Company.

Notable Quotes * People who are good at growing in distractions have developed a mindset of seeing obstacles as opportunities. * The people who are able to be bold to experiment are the ones who have healthy relationships with crises. * The good news is that there’s no bad news…The bad news is that there’s no good news. * If you are not creating change as a leader, you are just maintaining the status quo.
