When most writers get together they tend to talk about writing and publishing. But Peter S. Beagle and Deborah Grabien aren't most writers: when they get together, there's likely to be music, memories, and conversations about everything from New York in the sixties to food and pretty much everything else - includding writing. Please join us for a moderated conversation with two master storytellers. They may even end up playing you a song.

Golden Age of San Francisco Rock

Richie Unterberger shows archival footage of “music scene” of interest with his knowledgeable comments interspersed throughout program. The program that would be the best fit for the San Francisco theme would be San Francisco rock from the mid-'60s to the early '70s (which includes a lot of psychedelic music and folk-rock footage)
