JOHNNY GOLDSTEIN
“AN ELEGY FOR THE LOST CITY”
AS LIVE PERFORMANCE

Imagine: that Lake “Wobegone” has wandered south and down the Mississippi River, picked up a multi-generational hipster story-line while churning by St. Louis; and then meanders past Memphis, magically morphing into Lake Ponchartrain, but featuring a warmer, funnier, non-cloddish and less pretentious host. “An Elegy for the Lost City” sounds like that.
