Irish Coffey - The Lost Tapes. Here's a song I wrote decades ago as I watched my home town, Far Rockaway, devolve from paradise into ghetto - right before my aching eyes. You know we've come full circle when you hear others on YT complaining about the 'gentrification' currently going on in the Rockaways. What a crazy world we live in. The video is intentionally chaotic and annoyingly unwatchable, but settles down a bit at the end with fleeting images of my boyhood school and parish: Mary, Star of the Sea...beacon ever to the storm tossed heart of man.
