This morning I dreamt that I was going through my mom’s records and found the first Left Banke album (Walk Away Renee/Pretty Ballerina). She mistakenly thought I was giving her guff about them (she didn’t know I was a fan) when I asked her who that she’d known turned her onto the Left Banke. She implored me not to make fun of her Angeleno friend, Jimmy Ventura.
So, when I woke up, I did a people search on this character and there seems to be one in San Antonio and another in Portland.
I guess the moral is that the Left Banke rocks, whilst not really “rocking” per se and that every name that you can come up with is probably claimed by someone out there. Maybe I should call those guys though…
