Cisco Houston Photo Gallery
A handsome guy who didn't like his picture taken
A visibly ill Cisco Houston with Mike Porco, who ran Gerdes Folk City, in Greenwich Village, NYC. Cisco played here in February 1961 prior to returning to California and his unfortunate death in April. The photograph was probably taken during Cisco's stand at Folk City.
Gerdes has been spelt in different ways over the years. Either Gerdes or Gerdes' is correct, though copies of their own advertisements exist in which Gerde's is used. The Porco brothers bought the place from a man named Gerdes.
