Why Not Me

Life at the Plaza, Summertime 1983. Recorded at the Plaza, 820 Wenzell Avenue, Pittsburgh PA. The video is questionable but the song remains timeless & outstanding.

@jfredknobloch Fred, this song's still great all these years later, sorry we didn't do it more justice, but that was our mental state and the video state-of-the-art in 1983, when we shot this. I'm impressed that about 17K people have watched this piece, and counting. I'll come and see you one of these days in TN.

yes, "The Plaza" was torn down in the late 80s. A print shop and a Staples now occupy the intersection.

Ah yes, there was nothing better than hanging out with us at the Plaza in 1983. Old Germans, Swishers, nothing but the best.

Came looking for an old favorite, also find a fun fan video AND Fred K. posting as well. Triple score. Fred if you're still reading, this was a great song that should have gotten more air play back when. Of course life's not fair. Now off to jfredk com.

When I was a kid, my stepfather used to buy me the top 100 singles on 45 for each holiday. This was in one of the batches he gave me. I loved this song then, and still do!!! Thanks for the video!!!

Fred, this song was one of my favorites in the day- I used to call the radio station and request it a lot! Finally thought tracking it down last night, and found it. Also just bought Live at the Bluebird Cafe- great stuff! Thanks!

@ptappini ..thanks much for the kudos on the song/record. We had a great time recording it. All the folks involved were very close friends and have remained so even after all these years. Glad you dig the music!

[jfredknobloch]

@sixfootvisibility ....oh it's some funny stuff indeed... technology notwithstanding. Glad we made the soundtrack. And come on down to Nashville when you can. We're still playin' away at it.

About 16 years ago I was looking for Why Not me and I couldn't find out who sang it. I found out somehow that Mr. Knoblock sang it. I called information and asked for his name in the area he was living in. Mr. Knoblock actually returned my call after I had gotten his answering machine and he told me someone else had the rights to his song Why not me. Mr. Knoblock actually took the time out to have them send me the song on cassette tape and I will never forget it . ty Fred.
