The Jalopy Theater & School of Music (the gravitational center of Down Home Radio) was recently featured on the Brooklyn Independent Television channel. The show features interviews with owners Geoff and Lynette Wiley, with Roots n Ruckus host Feral Foster and with Eli Smith (me) as well as some excellent footage of the place. This is from an excellent cable show, featuring different neighborhoods in Brooklyn each week. We were included in the Redhook episode, Jalopy being located in the Redhook section of Brooklyn.
Jalopy has lots of great live music on weekends and throughout the week, sells and repairs instruments and offers music classes. I teach the banjo class there.
Eli, This is a great little film and fills in the background of the Jalopy Theatre. We managed a quick visit back in May and had a great evening and I even managed a brief chat with you. Keep on doing what you are doing. I really appreciate your podcasts and all that you are doing for music.
Thanks again

PS Studs Terkel interview with Bob Dylan is priceless!
