Description: On the cover of *Celebrations for a Grey Day*, Mimi and Richard Fariña look like Greenwich Village bohemians who’ve wandered uptown, their understated, introspective mood echoing the cool stone and leafy calm of the Upper West Side near 10024. Issued in 1965, the album captures the moment when folk was turning inward and experimental, and their image—wool coats, serious faces, instruments close at hand—feels like a quiet rebellion framed against Manhattan’s everyday bustle. Standing at this spot, you can almost hear their dulcimer-and-guitar laments drifting between brownstones and park entrances, a fragile counterpoint to the city’s traffic hum. This is one of the stops in the MusicRoadTrip.com App.
