Gretsch Brooklyn Walking Tour
On June 18, 2011 Fred Gretsch and Joe Carducci gave a walking tour of the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn, including various Gretsch buildings, culminating with a visit to the 10-story Gretsch factory at 60 Broadway.
Only about a dozen people were able to take the tour — including rockabilly artist Paul Pigat and Rocky from Street Sounds. Paul Shannon — “Redrocker” on the GDP — recorded the events and stories for the rest of us.

great stuff!
Thank God someone documented all this before it longer gone ! Very nice !
This was a pleasure to do — I just love documenting this kind of history, and of course it being on Gretsch makes it even more special.
I intentionally left all of these segments unedited — the raw footage, really — because I feel that events like this are best experienced in real time.
I am in the process of reviewing the footage once again to see if I may have dropped any moments that should have been included.
