Roger wasn't scheduled to be in New York for a few more days, but Roger was asked to play this event, so he came into NY earlier than expected.
At the end of the broadcast the MC announces Roger's upcoming date at the Lone Star Cafe wed. night the 26th.,playing 2 sets with Aztec Two-Step.
I even looked on an old Roger Mcguinn tour site and it has the Lone Star as the 25th. (probably old info)
And it doesn't have this Grand Ballroom gig listed at all. Defintely an unscheduled show.
It's a really good website, just to learn about the older dates.

Towards the end, the MC comes out and starts a conversation, asking Roger questions. A simple Q & A for about 4 minutes.
It's a shart radio segment, but it's still kind of interesting to hear.
Thanks to MR for the tapes and enjoy this short WNEW moment.
