Bossa Nova Beatniks Audio
   
Vin Scelsa enjoys "New York Town" and tells the 'Danger Bongo Crossing' story on WNEW 102.7 FM from New York City on 5/23/99 (sound is a bit fuzzy from being recorded off a small radio) Oh and the guy taking the picture in Africa that Vin talks about is Beatnik Tom. MP3
   
New York City Blues singer, Jerry Dugger, covers the Bossa Nova Beatnik song "Behave Yourself" MP3
 
The song that has been the B'n'Beatniks' crowd favorite for years and a tribute to Jack Nicholson called "Jack Jack." This version is from the "Sweet Home CBGB" box set featuring Jerry Dugger on lead vocal and Michael Bifulco on slide guitar."  MP3
 
The last song off one of the first Beatnik CD's was called "Anyroad." The first song off George Harrison's last CD is called "Any Road." The message in George's song is that, if you don't know where you are going, any road will take you there. Listen to our "Anyroad."  MP3
