The material for this film is footage that didn’t find a place in the Walden reels. Some of it begins in between Lost Lost Lost and Walden. It’s mostly New York, and some travel footage. The city friends: Richard Foreman, Amy Taubin, Mel Lyman, Peter Beard, David Wise, Andrew Meyer, Salvador Dali, Jerome Hill, David Stone and Barbara Stone, my brother Adolfas filming Double Barreled Detective Story, Diane di Prima, Alan Ginsberg, Norman Mailer, Ed Sanders, Gordon Ball, Henry Romney, Jack Smith, Shirley Clarke, Louis Brigante, Jane Holzer, etc. etc. It’s a period piece. The sounds were recorded about the same time. Bits of radio music, bits of records, my own voice, and voices of my friends. Mel Lyman playing banjo on the roof of 23rd Street was actually recorded on the roof, with the wind blowing into the mike.
