THE CORNELIA STREET CAFE by PETER EKSTROM &
MICHAEL QUINN frontpagefollies@aol.com
This is a selection of cabaret style songs recorded at a
New York City venue in April and May 2003, presented as a

political and social satire, well written and
performed. Some is quite scathing, most is very
funny. Because I was in the mood for this stuff, I
played the whole album.
